Overheating: Difference between revisions

Line 16:

The big change here is the lowering of the required level of Energy Management down from 5 to 3, making it much faster to train. Engineering level 5 is still quite a time sink, but is highly recommended for new pilots for other reasons: the final extra five percent of powergrid makes it easier to maximise fittings on any ship.

The buttons for overloading the full mid and low racks have lit up because the pilot has overloaded all the modules that can be overloaded in these racks. The Damage Control in the second low slot is an example of a module which cannot be overloaded.]]

Not all modules can be overloaded - cloaking devices and damage controls can't, for example.

'''Notes'''

Shield Boosters and Armor Repairers have multiple effects

Weapon DPS bonuses aren't uniform: missile launchers and long-ranged turrets (artillery, beam lasers and railguns) fire faster, while short-ranged turrets get more raw damage-per-shot. Both ultimately result in more DPS, but it's worth noting that overheating won't give you a bigger alpha strike when you're using missiles or long-ranged turrets.
