'''FSD supercharging''' is the process of flying into a high-energy relativistic jet of a neutron star or a white dwarf in [[supercruise]], which increases the FSD range for the next jump at the cost of slight damage to the Frame Shift Drive itself. FSD supercharging from a white dwarf gives a 50% range bonus, whilst doing the same with a neutron star provides a 300% bonus, effectively quadrupling your range for a single jump. Note that supercharging is not an instant process, and the pilots may have to spend several seconds inside the beam with a [http://elite-dangerous.wikia.com/wiki/Fuel_Scoop Fuel Scoop] for the effect to apply. | '''FSD supercharging''' is the process of flying into a high-energy relativistic jet of a neutron star or a white dwarf in [[supercruise]], which increases the FSD range for the next jump at the cost of slight damage to the Frame Shift Drive itself.

It is possible to gain a second FSD supercharge, while leaving the system. This effectively allows a commander to use the supercharge, upon arrival at the next system, even if there is no neutron star present. This is less risky, but more difficult. It requires a pilot to line up the next system destination, so that it can be seen down the cone of the energy jet, facing away from the star. The pilot is required to charge their FSD drive, as they slowly approach the blue color of the jet, then throttle up, right before entering. This will thrust the ship into hyperdrive, while travelling down the cone to your destination. As you leave the system, your original charge will be used, thus allowing the second charge to take place. | It is possible to gain a second FSD supercharge, while leaving the system.
