'''Supercruise''' is a method of faster-than-light (FTL) travel within [[Star Systems|star systems]]. A ship that is in supercruise ~~is able to~~ use ~~its~~ [[Frame Shift Drive]] to travel at speeds between 30 kilometers-per-second to superluminal (faster-than-light) speeds~~, allowing~~ a ship to cross entire systems in relatively short ~~amounts~~ of time.

'''Supercruise''' is a method of faster-than-light (FTL) travel within [[Star Systems|star systems]]. A ship that is in supercruise can use the [[Frame Shift Drive]] to travel at speeds between 30 kilometers-per-second to superluminal (faster-than-light) speeds. It allows a ship to cross entire systems in a relatively short amount of time.

Supercruise uses the ship's Frame Shift Drive to compress space in front of a ship and expand it behind a ship, essentially moving space around that ship. This negates any time dilation, as the ship is always travelling less than the speed of light relative to its "frame" of compressed space.

In supercruise, speeds are typically measured in multiples of the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed_of_light speed of light], represented as '''c''' or in megameters per second, represented as '''Mm/s '''(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 distances from large bodies of mass, and the highest speed is only possible at great distances from massive objects.
