Overheating: Difference between revisions

Line 128:

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.

~~Offlined~~ modules and ~~wholly~~ empty module slots are especially effective at reducing heat damage.

Offline modules and empty module slots are especially effective, '''and equally effective''', at reducing heat damage.

Players sometimes call these fitting practices "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.
