A brief introduction to SuperCruise Overcharge Frame Shift Drives (SCO FSD)

SCO FSDs are the latest in Elite Dangerous. They allow you to accelerate multiple times faster than your normal FSDs while travelling FTL.

However, they come with drawbacks on current ships, like thermal and mechanical damage to multiple components while in use, and exponentially increased fuel usage. The latest ships like the Python Mk2 and Type 8 Transporter have been engineered to use this module better.

To enable it, tap your boost key while in supercruise. To disable it, tap the same key again.

Use with caution as it may lead to overshooting or emergency drops with increased damage if you hit a celestial object.

I'm hoping this is ASMR enough, since it really puts me (at least) to sleep.

Here is the very famous (I think) Mitterand Hollow, where ONE planet (and stars) zip by at amazing speeds, and occasionally you can find the rare (or perhaps it's not that rare after all?) lava fountain over which we can roast marshmallows and relax to the bubbling of hot, molten, spewing magma while we watch the very tiny sunset/sunrise in the distance and bathe in the warmth of the mini eruptions. It's a very safe experience and is rated "E" for Everyone.

Disclaimer: Only safe if you react fast enough to your SRV's warning systems and stay at a safe distance from the eruption point. We hold no responsibility for any loss of vehicles while attempting to replicate this endeavour.

I've recorded over 2 hours worth here, so I hope it does help someone to sleep, since it did cost me half a tank of SRV fuel, and oil ain't cheap! At least by OPEC standards XD

The one thing they'll never understand is.....THE GRIND. It's what masochists like us keep coming back for.

Trying to supercharge my FSD, I learned that not all white dwarfs are equal one day as I stopped at one such white dwarf. The tail cones on it were soooooo tiny they might as well not have existed.

However I was thinking, perhaps the particles exist slightly outside the cones they fade off? So I flew my ship closer to check it out. Sadly, no supercharging occurred. I was somewhat disappointed.

To be honest, I didn't even need the boost as my ship was able to make the next jump. Somehow, that day, I was being stupid and adventurous, so I thought, why not? I can test my piloting skills and save some fuel too! (yes i forgot fuel is practically free)

So I think to myself, surely my piloting skills are good enough to get me in and out with no issues, seeing as I've managed other white dwarves before with no issues. (I was wrong, the other white dwarves had much longer tails compared to this one)

So I slowly inched towards the tiny bit of tail, and suddenly, yay! My FSD was supercharging! Then as I struggled to pull my ship out of the vortex, I hit the exclusion zone and my ship was pulled out of warp.

Then came the never ending loop of spinning around and trying to get out of the vortex without the help of lightspeed while panicking and not doing anything right as my ship started overheating. A while later I did notice I needed my FSD back so I charged it up again after it's cooldown, and tried to continue manhandling my ship, to no avail, since the ship was being spun around in all sorts of directions by the vortex. Every direction except the escape vector. Soon I ran out of heatsinks and finally melted down.

The lesson here is that I should either replot my route if need be, or stay away from white dwarves totally since they only provide a 50% boost as I later found out, which isn't really worth the hassle of a potential rebuy. Or do stunts like these on a cheaper ship. I was flying an Anaconda at the time.

Effects

Turns your character into a music maestro that sends musical notes at enemies and friends. The modes are set as follows:

SL + SR + Up -> <The power of love!> give friends immunity for 0.5 sec per shot

SL + SR + Down -> <Repel> make enemies move away from you until they reset or drop off screen

SL + SR + Left -> <I can give you wings> give friends the ability to perform 1 super jump via normal jump button, stored as a gauge indicator beside affected player

SL + SR + Right -> <Dance for me!> make enemies sing and dance for 5 sec (enemies will not be able to hurt you during this phase, but can be knocked out by friends/jumping on them if they are not spiked). Keep them performing by hitting them continuously. Not applicable for bosses.

Every mode comes with it's own music notes that complements the current stage music whenever fired. Once set, the player will fire music notes in a horizontal line based on the direction they are facing. An extra indicator in colors Red/Green/Blue/Yellow just below the player's character will note which mode the player is currently using.

<Repel> can be stacked on <Dance for me!> to make enemies move as they dance, however <Dance for me!> causes enemies to stop on the spot if used right after <Repel>.

A support powerup for multiplayer, only drops when 2 or more players join.

Working your funds up in one afternoon to buy a huge mining rig, spending the next 3 hours mining your first load of ores, then trying to land while getting riled up by pirates and the traffic and hitting everything in sight as you try to manhandle your beast of a mining rig, only to blow yourself up and realise, you forgot to set aside funds for a rebuy. That and you're no longer allowed back into the newbie zones.
