Since the proximity of modules to each other affects their risk of heat damage, '''spreading out and separating active modules in a rack can mitigate heat damage'''. By placing the active modules in a rack as far away from each other as possible, the heat damage from each module can be spread out rather than concentrating on particular parts of the rack. Passive modules or less-important active modules can be placed in the slots between.

In the high slots of a combat ship, it is common to spread out the main weapon system modules as much as possible, putting secondary weapons, utility tools such as energy neutralizers, or [[Command ~~bursts~~|command burst modules]] between the often-heated weapons. It is still possible to group the guns or launchers as normal. Pilots can move the module buttons around in space to keep them assigned to sensible keys in a logical arrangement, while retaining the "true" arrangement of modules in the fitting itself.

It is still possible to group the guns or launchers as normal. Pilots can move the module buttons around in space to keep them assigned to sensible keys in a logical arrangement, while retaining the "true" arrangement of modules in the fitting itself.

Players sometimes call this fitting practice "heatsinking", since the passive or less-commonly-used active modules placed between high-heat modules act as heat sinks. This idiom has no relation to the Heat Sink module, a low slot DPS-enhancing module for energy weapons; the Heat Sink module and its variations are no more effective as ''actual'' heat sinks than any other module.
