ise is a method of "fast travel" within planetary systems. A ship that is in Supercruise is using its [[Frame Shift Drive]] to accelerate to speeds from 30 kilometers-per-second to superluminal (faster-than-light), allowing a ship to cross entire solar-systems in a relatively short amount of time. | |||
In Supercruise, speeds are typically measured in multiples of the speed of light, represented as '''C''' or in Megameters, represented as '''Mm '''(1C = 300Mm/s). A ship that is traveling at 1c is therefore traveling at the speed of light. Speeds in Supercruise are highly dependent on distance from bodies of mass, and achieving higher speeds is only possible by distancing oneself from large bodies of mass. | In Supercruise, speeds are typically measured in multiples of the speed of light, represented as '''C''' or in Megameters, represented as '''Mm '''(1C = 300Mm/s).
