From 3297 to 3310, [[Frame Shift Drive|Frame Shift Drives]] manufactured solely by the Sirius Corporation were in predominant use among human civilisation. In 3308, during the [[Second Thargoid War]], seven [[Thargoid Titan|Thargoid Titans]] were observed travelling through interstellar space at faster-than-light speed, towards the [[Core Systems|core systems]]. <ref>[https://www.elitedangerous.com/news/galnet/destination-humanity GalNet: Destination: Humanity]</ref> Following the destruction of one of the Titans designated ''Taranis'', Achilles Aerospace announced their research into the Titan's travel technology, requesting independent pilots to collect [[Titan drive component|Titan drive components]] from the wreckage of ''Taranis''. <ref>[https://www.elitedangerous.com/news/galnet/achilles-aerospace-urges-pilots-plunder-titan-wreckage GalNet : Achilles Aerospace urges pilots to plunder Titan wreckage]</ref> This initiative was successful<ref>[https://www.elitedangerous.com/news/galnet/achilles-aerospace-urges-pilots-plunder-titan-wreckage Achilles Aerospace urges pilots to plunder Titan wreckage]</ref>, and Achilles Aerospace brought their prototype Frame Shift Drive to market on 10 April 3310. <ref name=":1" /> The line of SCO Frame Shift Drives was initially limited to C-rated modules.

The first pilots who used Achilles' Frame Shift Drives reported immense mechanical and thermal stress when using the supercruise overcharge function. <ref>[https://www.elitedangerous.com/news/galnet/ship-manufacturers-must-rise-challenge-supercruise-overcharge GalNet: Ship manufacturers must “rise to the challenge” of Supercruise Overcharge]</ref> Ship manufacturers started designing ships that could overcome overcharge stress. The [[Python MkII]] was the first ship to be designed around the Achilles Frame Shift Drive, boasting improved performance and reduced fuel consumption. <ref>[https://www.elitedangerous.com/news/galnet/python-mk-ii-released-faulcon-delacy-announces-collaboration-achilles-aerospace Python Mk II Released: Faulcon DeLacy announces collaboration with Achilles Aerospace]</ref> | The first pilots who used Achilles' Frame Shift Drives reported immense mechanical and thermal stress when using the supercruise overcharge function. <ref>[https://www.elitedangerous.com/news/galnet/ship-manufacturers-must-rise-challenge-supercruise-overcharge GalNet: Ship manufacturers must “rise to the challenge” of Supercruise Overcharge]</ref> Ship manufacturers started designing ships that could overcome overcharge stress.

In supercruise, the [[Boost Speed|boost]] function will activate and deactivate Supercruise Overcharge. During an overcharge, the Frame Shift Drive will accelerate rapidly, but there are multiple drawbacks: it will consume large amounts of fuel, generate a thermal load which can [[Heat|overheat]] the ship, and the ship's controls will suffer interference. | In supercruise, the [[Boost Speed|boost]] function will activate and deactivate Supercruise Overcharge.

For example: the C7 FSD has the slowest and worst acceleration curve.<ref name=":0">[https://www.reddit.com/r/EliteDangerous/comments/1c17dlf/supercruise_overcharge_how_good_is_it_test_results/ Supercruise Overcharge - How good is it? (test results)] - 11 April 2024</ref> When using the C7 FSD in a [[star system]] with a second [[Stars|star]] that is 182,000ls from the primary star; with normal supercruise the journey is 11 minutes, 30 seconds.<ref name=":0" /> If you do use SCO, the journey is just 5 minutes, 30 seconds. So travel time is cut by more than half.<ref name=":0" /> For shorter jumps it can cut travel time to 1/10th or less.<ref name=":0" /> | For example: the C7 FSD has the slowest and worst acceleration curve.<ref name=":0">[https://www.reddit.com/r/EliteDangerous/comments/1c17dlf/supercruise_overcharge_how_good_is_it_test_results/ Supercruise Overcharge - How good is it?
