Key points
The following section describes the mathematical basis of the overheating mechanic in detail. Not all pilots will want the nitty-gritty, so here are the practical takeaway points that everyone should know:
- Modules take heat damage from overheating in a chance-based mechanic. This means that sometimes a module will take no damage at all from a heated cycle.
- The chance of heat damage increases based on the heat level of the whole rack (high, mid, or low slots), indicated by the three small dials directly above your capacitor icon in the circular ship status display.
- The chance of heat damage does not increase in a calmly linear way in proportion to the heat level of the rack. It ramps up dramatically at higher rack heat levels (imagine an exponential curve).
- This means that the rack heat level indicators above your capacitor indicator are at least as important as the heat damage indicators which creep around your module icons. If a rack has reached high heat, you should probably stop overheating it. If modules have existing heat damage but their rack has no heat in it, you can probably get away with overheating those modules for a few cycles again.
Scanning
- Main article: Living in Wormhole Space
Players can use their onboard scanner together with a probe launcher to scan down cosmic anomalies and signatures. These will contain either groups of pirate NPCs, resources such as gas clouds or asteroid belts which can be mined, secure containers or ruins with loot in them, or wormholes.
Ruins and secure containers can be opened using archaeology and hacking skills in a hacking minigame. Lower-security areas tend to yield the most valuable loot and resources.
Exploration is easy to begin, requiring little ISK investment and only basic skills. There is an element of random chance in the contents of each site, but exploration sites can be a good source of income, especially for a new player. Exploring in dangerous systems or in wormholes teaches useful situational awareness skills, and the probing techniques used to scan sites down are transferable into combat probing for PvP. Seasoned explorers might want to try living permanently in wormhole space.
