* The '''placement of modules''' in the rack. Modules that are being overheated have the highest chance to deal heat damage instances to themselves and to immediately adjacent modules. Every additional module slot of distance away from an overheating module reduces the chances of that other module being damaged, to the point that modules on opposite ends of a rack have the lowest chances to damage each other. If a module is on the far end of a rack, or has only empty slots to one side of it, it may attempt to deal heat damage to the nonexistant modules off the end of the rack, which will result in the module itself erroneously flashing to indicate heat damage being dealt, and no heat damage actually being dealt in that direction. The result of this is that in a rack where only a small number of modules will be overheated, the best slots to place those modules is either on one far end (for one overheating module), opposite far ends (for two), or as evenly spaced across the rack as possible (for more); and the worst slots to place overheating modules in is either the center of the rack (causing it to damage all other modules in the rack) or adjacent to another to-be-overheated module (as they will damage and burn each other out). Note that these module placements apply to the fitting screen, not the hotbar; the placement of module buttons on the hotbar does not matter. | * The '''placement of modules''' in the rack.

* The number of '''Online''', versus '''Offline''' or '''Empty''', slots in the ship. The odds for any module to sustain overheat damage is based on the total number of Online modules on the ship, divided by the total number of high, mid, low, ''and rig'' slots on the ship. (Rigs do not count as online modules for this calculation.) | * The number of '''Online''', versus '''Offline''' or '''Empty''', slots in the ship.

* The '''ship''', and the hidden '''heatAttenuation''' value for the rack. Every ship hull has three hidden attributes (named <code>heatAttenuationHi</code>, <code>heatAttenuationLow</code>, and <code>heatAttenuationMid</code>). In general, the values of these attributes correspond to the number of slots in the rack, with the numbers being higher for racks with more slots. Higher values of these attributes represent greater chances for heat damage to spread across adjacent modules down the rack. The value of the attribute is a decimal chance for the heat to spread to each further module, meaning that the chance for a given module to receive heat damage is equal to the <code>heatAttenuation</code> factor, raised to the power of the distance (in slots) between the overheated module and the module being damaged. | * The '''ship''', and the hidden '''heatAttenuation''' value for the rack.

In general, the values of these attributes correspond to the number of slots in the rack, with the numbers being higher for racks with more slots; however there are a small number of ships which have received balance changes to their slot counts but not had their attenuation values changed.

=== The Master Overheat Damage Formula === | |||
The odds for a given module to sustain overheat damage on a single cycle can be condensed into one formula: | |||
Damage Chance = [Rack Heat] * [Active Hi+Mid+Low Modules / Total Hi+Mid+Low+Rig Slots] * [heatAttenuation ^ Distance] | |||
For example: | |||
* An Enyo (slots 5/3/4, 2 rigs), with 1 empty High slot, at 60% Rack Heat, overheating a Warp Scrambler in mid rack slot 1. | |||
Odds of damaging the Warp Scrambler itself: | |||
* Damage Chance = 0.6 * [4+3+4 / 5+3+4+2] * [0.5 ^ 0] | |||
* Damage Chance = 0.6 * [11 / 14] * 1 | |||
* Damage Chance = 0.6 * 0.786 * 1 | |||
* Damage Chance = 0.471 = 47.1% | |||
Odds of damaging the modules in slots 2 and 3: | |||
* Slot 2 = 0.6 * [4+3+4 / 5+3+4+2] * [0.5 ^ 1] | |||
* Slot 2 = 0.471 * 0.5 | |||
* Slot 2 = 0.236 = 23.6% | |||
* Slot 3 = 0.6 * [4+3+4 / 5+3+4+2] * [0.5 ^ 2] | |||
* Slot 3 = 0.471 * 0.25 | |||
* Slot 3 = 0.118 = 11.8% | |||
