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

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
