- 10 Apr 3310: The new Achilles Frame Shift Drive has a mode that's great for avoiding interdiction and that will keep the Fuel Rats happy, but it's not likely to be of great help getting to Hutton Orbital.

Ludicrous speed!
They've gone to plaid!
"Where's the Earth gone?"
The earth is a myth. I've never landed on such a planet
"Aaaaand, it's gone" banker from south park
Thargoids took it with them.
"...they've gone to plaid!"
We can finally cook a Dolphin 🐬
It finally overheated 😅
Mine gave up and exploded🤣
I feel a big uptick in the connections from Japan coming. They do that cull don't they?
As a Fuel Rat, there's two things that immediately stood out about this.
The obvious is that there's going to be more people getting stuck without fuel.
The not so obvious is that these can make getting to a client who's somewhere far in the system a little easier, if done correctly.
It also can mean client stuck much farther away from the star than usual hehe
@@Tooterbooter There should definitely be an increase of calls that aren't at the main star, yeah. The distance is going to depend on if they were not paying attention, because if you overshoot your destination the first thing you would do is turn it off, which means that they should still be in the system, close to something like a planet or station.
Those that don't pay attention, though, could be pretty far out and out of fuel. Though probably closer in than if the same thing happened without the overdrive, since the overdrive burns up more fuel per distance than normal.
what about the possibility that they are too far to rescue?!
@@OldManPaxusYT No such thing.
Look up Beyond The Dark Edge.
It was a rescue that was 141ly away from the main star, with no option to jump to another star. Took about 600 hours in supercruise to reach the client.
That thing consumes fuel like a beach shore... it's going to give more work to the rats... I'm sure 🐭
new reason for me to have fitted 2 more fuel tanks on my 2 empty slots in my explora conda, overcharge lasts such a long time, i fuelratted a friend experimenting with it and getting stranded over 100k Ls away lol
Well time to dust off my limpets and jump in my little ratty ship *sigh*
@@pewjackmanwhy bother? I have never run out of fuel, not a single time since ed launch. People 90% of the time are just lazy.
@@ShinigamiAnger the difference is using the overccharge boost, you WILL run out of fuel with it if you dont pay attention and get too far from the closest star. also if you never ran out of fuel thats good for you but theres a reason why fuel rats exist
@@n0obit yes, becouse people are lazy. If you pay attention you will never run out of fuel, even with this new fail shit driver. I concede you a very generous 10% of legit cases where s**t can happen, but seriously, 90% of the cases are just lazy people.
It used to be that people were falling asleep in supercruise and ran out of fuel after several hours, now that can do it in seconds, and the rats still have to go for an hour to get to them with the fuel limpets.
Must be nice ,not available on console
hehe, haven't played ED till you've done that :D been on both ends of that story, as a rat and the thirsty pilot
@@bloodwing9597 mald

Flame Shift Drive.
Thank you.
I can confirm this is great on cargo ships because it accelerates so fast that you can now outrun gankers 😂
And it helps speed up your route 😮
but you gotta boost BEFORE they tether you with the interdictor, right? once the minigame starts, you're screwed?
I love mine on my Python, added an extra fuel tank and it makes mission running so fast!! Great addition!
I have it in my ASPX (bubblemaster)
You know how it goes:
Deliver this, source that, go buy this commodity.. then you forget to buy certain modules and so on.
This makes zooming between stations and outposts so much faster.
Biggest advantage i have seen so far is getting out of gravity wells around gas gigants.
It is not that bad in terms of fuel consumption when you use it like a short time boost. Most efficient way i found is this:
1. Deploy heat sink and cool down to sub 20%
2. Engage SCO and accelerate to couple hundred "c"
3. Disengage SCO and continue with normal super cruise at full speed
Since i'm more than a few thousand light years from my nearest dealership right now, i thought i'd watch the spoiler anyway.
Cor! that looks fun! cant wait to try it out, i've got a few use-cases in mind for a bit of ludicrous-speed!
Top marks to FD for releasing a module that is pure fun! It probably has a serious use somewhere along the way, but I won't waste time looking for that...
As someone who spends his time out in the dark exploring new things far far from civilisation and has a habit of playing the game whilst fairly drunk, I suspect I would surpass the total for my four years worth of in game deaths within...a hour of fitting this thing. Neat, but utterly useless for my application.
Used the new FSD got up to 4,617c. Crazy
Ludicrous Speed!
They've gone to plaid!
For the low price of however many credits it costs to install onto your ship, you too can self-induce a panic attack with the mere push of a button!
You can already do this by jumping into a y class star from an O class system. But now you can do it anywhere!
Set conditon brown!...
Engage laxitive drive! 💩
I hope they lower the fuel consumption significantly and lower the heat build up a bit in the future. This is a fun alternative way to fly and stay engaged if you don't want to afk for minutes.
I agree. I think it's fair that it has a cost for the speed up however I also wonder if it's too much.
Fdev might have made it with outruning interdictions but the comunity has so many uses they can make for it if the cost is even just a touch less.
@@thekingofawesomeness9173 i think its fine, it is a prototype after all, i do hope we eventually get better versions tho
I've had so much fun with it already and have found a few handy things, little things but good like how when leaving a planet supercruise can be slow just boost for a second or two and you're out of the planets atmosphere in an instant!. Also the way to manage fuel is big ships are better with larger fuel tanks plus add a few more to your loadout and you can go pretty much anywhere very fast.
So here is my take: use bigger ships and more fuel tanks and heat sinks , For ships going around the bubble this is fine but not very good for explorers who like long FSD Jumps , any ship you want to do long range jumping would be a problem especially if you're planning a Colonia trip.
When using the boost when my heat reaches 100 percent i turn it off to cool down it saves on heatsinks and repairing your modules for the sake of getting to destination a few seconds longer.
OK now I see why this would make Fuel Rats happy 🤣
Causality be dammed
I retrofitted one of those in a .... Memewinder, fully loeaded with a LOT of fuel tanks (as much as i could take) and tried to do the Hutton run! Of course it didnt got there, but a made a Memewinder do 0.04ly in an minute or less ahahah, that thing is insane!!!
Whether or not this new FSD will come in Class A, or if engineering is on the way, this is a great entry for a new feature!
As a fleet carrier explorer, the drive works for me. I do hope we get some non-prototype models.
An FYI for anyone thinking about engenering a cold build. It does not seem cold running ships last any longer than normal ships for heat buildup. My dolphin can fuel scoop and charge FSD at the same time and still heated up just as fast as my DBE
Pack some marshmallows for those exploration trips?
FINALY !!! I always wanted Frontier to increase the super cruise acceleration because thats the most time consuming part of Elite (IMHO). Now, with the push of a button and some fuel, i finaly can reduce those flight times ALOT.
But they should have added some speedlines (like when a ship in starwars jumps) to emphasize the speed increase
I'm assuming that it also lets us escape from planets faster
As far as I'm led to believe, the 2500 speed limit is still in effect until you get high enough. But that's from anecdotal evidence. I've not tested it myself.
yes it does help a lot from getting away from any gravity well I have found
This thing is going to make carrier parking less of a big deal when delivering stuff for CG. For carrier based fleets in general, this thing is a God send.
I see them eventually opening this thing up for some engineering at some point.
I can't say for sure what would happen to a ship traveling nearly 4000 times the speed of light if it rammed into a star by accident but I will say that the results would likely be visible from any planets or stations within that system
I really hope that they offer some engineering options on this that possibly help with the “jitter” but offset some of the speed, maybe even an “efficient” version that’s not quite as intense overall? Maybe im just dreaming.
What would be really cool is if this drive somehow becomes necessary for power play 2.0, such as if a lot of the destinations are 10k+ LS in distance and there’s some sort of blockade you need to pass by.
Yet to see anyone flying a large ship with one of these. Be nice to see how the heat management is, or isn't. We just got to get Frontier to let us run them inside the toaster to help with that namesake.
I did a couple of trial runs with it in my T9 cargo hauler last night. I have the cumulative equivalent of a C8 fuel tank, and boosting for just a few seconds eats the equivalent of just over a single unladen hypercruise jump (310ly until empty, 23ly at a time).
Tldr, it does really well for short boosts on large ships with lots of fuel capacity.
all ill say is YEE HAW
Im going to see how well these work for leaving planet atmospheres and relocating for engineering crystals etc
I really hope a big part of the thinking behind this is making Open viable for non-combat ships. With PP 2.0 coming they want people in Open.
If this is what's happening I'm both surprised and excited.
can't wait to buy one. Imagine something like a DBX with one. A ship with a large tank relative to the ship.
The DBX tank is the correct size relative to it's grade 5 FSD.
To use this thing properly, you're gonna need some extra fuel tanks on any ship.
@@mertar3608 yeah……. About that. Its still has excellent fuel capacity relative to standard size. At either rate, i still have an anaconda rigged for rat missions on the carrier.
@@mikewaterfield3599 so most ships will need more fuel tanks, and if you have the undersized fuel scoop (like the DBX) you will spend more time at the stars filling up and getting hotter...
@@jamesbigglesworth4677 your talking to someone who flew a DBX to beagle and back. Fuel burn rates may be stupid high, but I see these being used in the kind of flight where that wont be an issue. Escaping gankers for example. Or avoiding goid interdiction flying to a titan. I expect to die running at a titan. Im just going to respawn on my carrier. Fuel rates be damned.
Trust me, you can wait
Clearly you are not supposed to keep it on all the time, but just a few seconds in order to quickly get you to speed.
In other news... calls to the Fuel Rats have increased by a factor of ten, within the last day....
hahahahaha Here i was a little salty that it wasn't a better jump range to use as an exploration drive (my main interest in the game, totally forgotten of late sadly). After watching the vid the saltyness went to sillyness.
I had held out a little hope that atleast I could travel to those distant planets in a system to investigate interesting features a little faster to land and collect some samples, but this is even better, a good laugh. It's basically a boost but combined with a fuel dump.
Pretty sure this was supposed to be relased on April 1st ROFL
Holy Shit... Aleethia usually gets there first with a normal fsd, with this.... tho the loop of shame will become a common thing now.
Has someone tested it with a fuel dedicated ship? Like with the fuel cutters that were used to save commander Persera? or how does it react to supercharging?
This on a Booze Cruise Python + SA + skilled cmdr on the fast pull off from supercruise technique....
This should honestly have been an experimental effect. Insane fuel consumption but faster in SC. Nobody's going to daily this...
It’s the same principle as going to other planets without supercruise assist, decelerate about halfway to 2/3 of the way there
You mean decelerate at 6 seconds remaining, right?
@@MayorBeeMayorBee no i don't mean that, i meant what i said. with the SCO you want to slow down way sooner than 6 seconds
@@Kaldortangerine 6 second rule has worked fine for me so far with SCO, i haven't used it extensively yet though.
@@MayorBeeMayorBee Isn't it 7 second rule?
@@KajuTheRudeMonke 6 is if you’re quick enough. 7 is safer if your reaction time isn’t quick or you’re using a setup where you can’t lower the throttle instantly. My joysticks have 75% and 100% buttons bound, so I can just press the 75% button at 6 seconds and be fine on my approaches.
*MEEP MEEP!*
I'd be interested to know if this works in conjunction with the Supercruise Assist module? That might keep you on a straighter tangent 🤷♀️
Supercruise Assist disengages the overcharge. I've tried a mix of switching between both but the timing is nearly impossible to get right.
@@quackquackvr ah right, I wasn't sure if it'd work or not..cheers for that.
Fun, but better fuel manage or jump further arround 100 ly would be more interesting
This might be huge for Robigo running. We could be seeing runs come down from 7 minutes to maybe 5 or even 4.
not if you have to add 2 jumps with the abysmal jump range
If I was a serious corporation engineer I’d be laughing hysterically at how badly this fsd was designed.
Late Aprils fools joke i think
Wish theyd add farther jump range instead, or energy bombs from the old game
"Well, uh, uh, press Turbo. I'm always saying 'press the Turbo' right!?"
"Oh, it's here. Right here."
"Press it and hold it down!"
_beep_
"Whooo!!!"

Looks like fun
this is drake manta so you finaly got a super cruse overchage capabile framehsift drive like the ones i had back in the late 3100's but i'm giong to tell you right now they are only good for veru short emercy boost that should only be used up for a masx of a few secounds like them old afterberner upgrade we used to have for our ships for useing uper cruse overdrive. but like i said before only use the mfor a few sconud during emercys agest pireates or thargiold trying it interecpt you. bescue if you don'r use in in short few seonud burst your giong to run out of fuel if you try to use it far to much wihout bacly sueing your fuel scoop to fill back up. man thsoe where good times. but the last time i checked we didn't need to use thargiod frame shift or witchspace super cruse compentis for the afterbruners for our frame shift drives that where bacly bulit in our witchspace and frame shift FTL drive bascly in one sistem. so why are they bacly two seprate ship compent thsie days i will never know. but it knida odd they lost thing of way more advaced tech from the 3100 still are missing very suspicalsy that i'm still hdeing my tech untill i can legaly satrt sueing it wihotu those ship dock yeard trying to mess with my ship that i have to have my own prot to use bescue everywhere else biascly is ileagl due to the geat lave intergaltic fedraton purge war of the late 3210's that was a realy bad time to be a ship comnder.
Pretty neat!
What if you just boost to 2001c to skip the long accelaration time then stop?
I wonder if you can use supercruise boost to ditch a ganker?
Just replace your one stroke lawnmower engine with a V12 with turbos you get the idea.
This isnt being used correctly, basically you want to increase to a good speed then disable it so you can skip the acceleration part of supercruise
Are you sure you aren't Stephen Fry?
Fdev before Overcharge - Incompetent
Fdev after Overcharge - Incompetent & Stupid!
Light speed’s too slow, we need ludicrous speed!
Keep the heat and fuel use, but lose the ridiculous, uncontrollable interdiction effect.
Meh. Hopefully there will be CGs to get this tech more stable, cooler, and more efficient ...and allow us to use it with engineered A class drives.
omg... trust Frontier to make something so idiotic... i really hoped this would be COOL! Of course, it's TOO fast and fuel guzzling...
I paused the video and went to buy one so I could try it and uhhhh
This module is UNSAFE
To be clear, I boosted and immediately panicked, and in my panic did not consider that I didn't know how to deactivate the boost and just kept going until my Krait Phantom ran out of fuel and dropped out of supercruise with over 20% damage to hull!! And 36,000Ls away from where I started, mind you!
Except from the interdiction avoiding thingie this FSD doesn't seem to have any use for me.
I thought they would come up with something more useful.
Okay back to the new daily business - hunting bugs and Automatons
no use to me.
Perhaps Achilles Aerospace will modify this module and it will become usable.
I expected that the new FSD would allow us to travel around the galaxy like the Stargoids did.
Unfortunatly, its pretty darn useless for me as a pvp pirate. Maybe later iterations will have a use other then keeping the fuelrats busy..
It pretty darn useless in any case, not just for piracy.
So it's basically garbage in all but one (1) situation(s)? Noooo Frontier wouldn't do that...
I honestly dont know why they released this.
As a super cruise booster, Its uncontrollable, useless as a concept, plus who would want it for its primary use as an FSD when the range is below too short.
I will wait for a better version.
Spoiler Alerts on a news channel....., where we going with this world??
Are people really getting this dumb, they would complain or be surprised about spoilers when they are watching news?! 😂🤣
seems pretty much useless
So, it's basically like interdicting yourself. No thanks. I see no practical purpose for this module whatsoever.
I imagine it's mainly for the Thargoid Titans that are ridiculously far away from their star. Without it, you'd be interdicted probably a hundred times before you got to the furthest ones.
@@xPara It would be far more useful if it didn't make your ship all but uncontrollable. Maybe it works with supercruise assist.
@@douglasharbert3340 Ricardo tried supercruise assist on this FSD and it didn't work. You can find his video on you tube as well. But I assume this FSD helps with Titan war if used wisely ;)
Pretty useless...
But good fun! o7
To be honest this fsd are useless
On the contrary. Specialised combat ships don't need jump range, they are not bounty hunters, they are warships. With SCO they can engage or escape from the enemy quicker in a war torn system. Miners can quickly leave the gravity wells of the gas giants. Local errand runners can be more effective. Short bursts, jumps is the optimal way. Plus this is a prototype still. This is new for the engineers, but can totally make a lot of new features come to life: SCO engineering, fuel tank engineering, new ships which fare better with this FSD, restoring the shelved idea of scooping gas giants for fuel etc.d
I agree.
So all the effort with fetching thargoid FSD's for... this?
Kinda underwhelming, don't you think?
Definitely has 2 or 3 legit uses, possibly more.
A great disappointment. lol FDev doing what they do best, getting it wrong again.
"FDev doing what they do best" Oh boy, you're overestimating them
Waste of time, what a surprise
The most useless module
So in a nutshell... fun for a few minutes but pretty much useless anyway. No thank you.
Useless module.
it’s bullsh.. of a drive
