SCO frame shift drive technology has dramatically altered the meta for travel across all fields and careers. This review will cover the dynamics behind SCO drive performance, and how it is affected by module size or grade changes.
Further advancements in this technology are expected over time, through what form these advancements take is yet to be fully explored. It has been implied that future ships will take SCO drives into account in their design, and that enhanced SCO performance may be a driving force behind encouraging commanders to purchase them.

Great vid. A few notes about the fuel draw and jump range, The SCO Overcharge fuel usage is dependent on the stock fuel tank size of the ship not the size of SCO module, so ships with undersized tanks like the Clipper tend to do well while the Beluga is uniquely bad for overcharging because of its 128T tank, it can get up to almost 15kT/h. While the 5A SCO beats the V1 FSD by +0.28ly, the class 3, 4 and 6 CG FSDs still win by roughly +0.27ly over the SCO variants. o7

To me, they .27 LY is a huge deal. I specialize in exploring the central galactic ceiling and cellar-systems that are 3000 LY above or beyond the plane. That area is so remote and risky that every bit of range counts. That .27 LY was the difference between first tagging of Synauloo AA-A h0 (3301 LY below the plane) and not being able to reach it at all.

I would say the SCO is one of the biggest game changers ever by Frontier

Just about finished engineering my Cutter. SCO has made the whole process feel grind-free compared to engineering my Corvette last year. They should rename them QOL drives 😂

Excellent information! Thank You!

I noticed on your way to a HGE at the 7:30 mark, that you use the Supercruise Assist module, but do not use the 'trick' of rolling throttle past the 5 second eta (while in manual throttle control) and back to 50% throttle before overshoot... effectively snagging your fsd in a poi lock. Im sure you know this.. but just forgot or chose not to use it for demonstration purposes. Congratulations on yet another excellent reveal of the gameplay mechanics of Elite Dangerous!

I wasn't playing aggressively, I mostly use the SCA for consistency rather than speed.

A note about the double engineered drives, for the current set of stats for the drives the class 6 and 7 SCO drives will fall behind a double engineered normal drive at max jump range. There was no size 7 CG drive released so that figure ends up not mattering though. *All* of the drives (except size 2), however, are worse at *fuel economy* than the double engineered drives, at varying amounts depending on the size. What I mean by that is for jumps costing the *same* amount of fuel, the double engineered drive can go further. It’s only jumps at the absolute max range that start to win out over the double engineered drive, at the cost of a bit more fuel. Of course, in exchange you get the SCO feature, so that’s not saying the double engineered drives are all secretly better still. But it’s not entirely true that for all use cases the SCO drives completely out do the double engineered ones.

In my case it gave me a few more years of range and especially when I went to the titan HADAD system with the normal engine it took a while to arrive and they intercepted me many times with the new engine and that function reached the titan cloud quickly without being intercepted so many times . Of course there is a learning curve to handle the new engine well.

Hey, do you mind if I share this on the ED forums in a SCO science thread? its a great overview. There appears to be ship constants that affect SCO use, with the Type-Xs and P2 being some examples. P2 seems to benefit from a lower ship constant (0.60) than others.

Go ahead.

New player here, do I want to place SCO in basically everything? I have just got my asp explorer upgraded to the Sirius pre engineered FSD but I’m wondering if it’s best to just engineer my own SCO

@DryHeatAndSand Ай бұрын

Yeah, you'll want an SCO drive in pretty much everything.

I hate the damn thing am happy with the old FSD

I have found out that these SCO drives are the long sought remedy to avoid gankers in open. You see a hollow triangle or triangles getting ideas about positioning itself behind you? Fire away the SCO and blaze away until the triangle or group is left behind. I have done this and no one has been able to interdict me. In the Oolite game (a modern adaptation of the original 1984 Elite, there is a module called the Witchfuel Injector. You see a group of hostile ships? You are mass locked? Fire away the injector and leave the group in the dust. It also really shortens the trip between the entry point and the space station. And yes, it consumes lots of fuel.

Love mine, better jump range, and the option of doing a little boost for a few secs to make my jorneys a lot easier

I’ve just transferred over to PC and strongly recommend it if you have access to any PC that can run it. I messed up the portal transfer (forgot to set up a new PC Frontier account, so I was trying to transfer my PS Frontier account to my PS Frontier account 🤣). But I contacted Frontier support and they were really helpful and did the transfer manually for me. I’ve even got my PS5 controller working via bluetooth using DS4Windows, using the gyro for headlook just like on PS5 (set it to mouse in DS4 and then set Elite to use mouse look).
