'''Overheating''' (sometimes also called '''overloading''') a module allows you to get more output from it for a short time. As the name suggests, overheating isn't something you can do indefinitely. Eventually you will burn your module out, making it inoperable. | '''Overheating''' (sometimes also called '''overloading''') a module allows you to get more output from it for a short time.

The buttons for overheating the full mid and low racks have lit up because the pilot has overheated all the modules that can be overheated in these racks. The Damage Control in the second low slot is an example of a module which cannot be overheated.]] | [[File:Overheating.jpg|350px|thumb|right|Overheating in action.

The skill | The skill required to be able to overheat your modules is called {{sk|Thermodynamics|mult=yes|price=yes}}. Thermodynamics requires: | ||
* {{sk|Power Grid Management|IV|mult=yes}} | |||
* {{sk|Capacitor Management|III|mult=yes}} | |||
* {{sk|Science|IV|mult=yes}} | |||
Power Grid Management IV is a bit of time sink, but is highly recommended for new pilots because the extra 5% percent of powergrid makes it easier to maximize fittings on any ship. The Thermodynamics skill itself reduces heat damage to your modules by 5% per level. | |||

* | * {{sk|Nanite Operation|mult=yes|price=yes}} - Requires {{sk|Mechanics|V}} and provides a 5% reduction in Nanite Repair Paste consumption per level. | ||
* | * {{sk|Nanite Interfacing|mult=yes|price=yes}} - Requires {{sk|Mechanics|V}}, {{sk|Nanite Operation|III}} and provides a 20% increase in damaged module repair amount per second. | ||

Weapon DPS bonuses aren't uniform: missile launchers and long-ranged turrets (artillery, beam lasers and railguns) fire faster, while short-ranged turrets get more raw damage-per-shot. Both ultimately result in more DPS, but it's worth noting that overheating won't give you a bigger alpha strike when you're using | Weapon DPS bonuses aren't uniform: missile launchers and long-ranged turrets (artillery, beam lasers and railguns) fire faster, while short-ranged turrets get more raw damage-per-shot.
