A recent community report highlights the Caspian SCO drive's extremely high fuel consumption in Elite Dangerous. One commander nearly ran out of fuel en route to the Voyager Satellite in the SOL system despite carrying extra tanks. The SCO's fuel burn rate is compared to that of a top fuel dragster, making it risky for long journeys without careful planning. Players are advised to monitor fuel closely or consider using standard Super Cruise for extended travel. This caution comes shortly after the SCO's introduction, emphasizing operational challenges with the new drive.
- Fuel consumption rivals top fuel dragster speeds.
- Extra fuel tanks may still be insufficient for long trips.
