Supercruise overcharge (SCO) is very beneficial for shorter-distance travel rather than long-distance such as to [[Hutton Orbital]]. It can be used for short bursts of speed to overcome the gravity wells of celestial bodies, greatly speeding up the start and end of a typical journey within a system. | Supercruise overcharge (SCO) is very beneficial for shorter-distance travel rather than long-distance such as to [[Hutton Orbital]].

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?
