'''Overheating''' (or '''overloading''') is an important ship combat mechanic in EVE Online. Any active module can be overheated, and overheating a module wrings better performance from it, at the cost of gradually-accumulating heat damage to the module.

Incautious overheating can burn a module out completely, making it useless until it is repaired. However, if used with care or in an emergency, the benefit gained from an overheated module could be the difference between losing your ship and killing your enemy. Good pilots know when the risk is worth the possible reward.
