For an example, it has been proved that a 33 LY ship can travel almost 5,000 LYs in less than 90 minutes using a pre-defined route (see linked video below). This shaved around 1 hour off the conventional travel method for a ship of that range across that kind of distance. But this does not mean that everyone will experience the same results. A whole lot of other variables need to be taken in to account. | For an example, it has been proved that a 33 LY ship can travel almost 5,000 LYs in less than 90 minutes using a pre-defined route (see linked video below).

While it still depends largely on individual skill and routing method, the release of the [[Caspian Explorer]] in late 3311 makes travel along the Neutron Highway notably faster; while the ship doesn't boast the highest general jump range on the market, it can mount a Class 8 [[Mk II Supercharge Optimised Frame Shift Drive (SCO)|MkII Supercharge Optimised Frame Shift Drive (SCO)]] that greatly increases the boost given from supercharging (+500% from a Neutron Star and +200% from a White Dwarf, instead of the standard +300% and +50%). Using an optimised route, travel time between [[Sol]] and [[Colonia]] of under 40 minutes have been reported (a distance of 22,000ly).<ref>Sol to Colonia in under 40 minutes - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3b9-0LWYzlg</ref> | |||
