# Galactic Travel in Elite: Dangerous

All ships in Elite: Dangerous (E:D) are equipped with a Frame Shift Drive (FSD) which allows them to jumpst vast distances (multiple light years) from one star system to another.

The maximum range you can traverse in a single jump is limited by the maximum fuel consuption per jump of the specific drive (depends on class and rating) and influenced by the following factors:

- Rating of the FSD
- Class of the FSD
- Mass of your ship (Base mass+Cargo mass+Fuel mass)
- Amount of fuel available in the tank

For details see [the chapter detailing FSD fuel consumption](./fsd_fuel.html)

If the ship is equipped with a Fuel Scoop it can:

- Scoop hydrogen from the corona of a star to refill its fuel tank (only applies to stars of class K, G, B, F, O, A or M)
- Supercharge its FSD to increase the maximum jump range by a factor of:
  - 4 if supercharging in the jets of a neutron star
  - 1.5 if supercharging in the jets of a white dwarf star
