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]].

The SCO enables rapid interplanetary travel, making planet [[Detailed Surface Scanner|mapping]], [[Exobiologist|exobiology]], [[Miner|mining]], and [[Explorer|exploration]] activities in general much faster and more convenient, especially in combination with a [[Drake-Class Carrier|Fleet Carrier]]. | The SCO enables rapid interplanetary travel, making planet [[Detailed Surface Scanner|mapping]], [[Exobiologist|exobiology]], [[Miner|mining]], and [[Explorer|exploration]] activities in general much faster and more convenient, especially in combination with a [[Drake-Class Carrier|Fleet Carrier]]. | ||
The SCO-capable Frame Shift Drives have an "optimized mass" stat around 12% higher than the older [[Sirius Corporation|Sirius]] drives, as well as a 4% higher "max fuel per jump" stat, meaning the new Class 5 SCO drives offer more jump range when fully [[Engineers|engineered]] than even the "[[Engineered FSD V1]]" that is acquired through [[Technology Broker|Technology Brokers]].<ref>https://edsy.org/index.html</ref> | The SCO-capable Frame Shift Drives have an "optimized mass" stat around 12% higher than the older [[Sirius Corporation|Sirius]] drives, as well as a 4% higher "max fuel per jump" stat, meaning the new Class 5 SCO drives offer more jump range when fully [[Engineers|engineered]] than even the "[[Engineered FSD V1]]" that is acquired through [[Technology Broker|Technology Brokers]].<ref>https://edsy.org/index.html</ref> | ||
