==== Rack Heat Dissipation ====

When no modules in a rack are being overheated, the rack will dissipate stored heat, at a rate proportional to how hot the rack is~~, via a very simple formula~~: Heat Dissipation per second = (Current Rack Heat %) * 1%~~. (~~For ~~Example:~~ at 60% rack heat, the rack will lose heat at 0.6%/second). However, Rack Heat is '''not''' immediately removed when a ship is docked ''or Repaired'', it continues to dissipate at the normal rate; as a result, if a ship is docked to repair heat damage and immediately undocked, its racks may still have heat left in them even if its modules have been repaired.

When no modules in a rack are being overheated, the rack will dissipate stored heat, at a rate proportional to how hot the rack is. The rate of dissipation is:

: <math>\displaystyle \text{Heat Dissipation per second} = (\text{Current Rack Heat %}) \cdot 1\text{%}</math>

For example, at 60% rack heat, the rack will lose heat at 0.6%/second.

Unlike with heat generation, heat dissipation is constant across all sizes of ships. However, Rack Heat is '''not''' immediately removed when a ship is docked ''or Repaired'', it continues to dissipate at the normal rate; as a result, if a ship is docked to repair heat damage and immediately undocked, its racks may still have heat left in them even if its modules have been repaired.

The actual time required for a rack's heat to dissipate can be calculated using the following formula:
