Silent running can be toggled in your ship's interface (Right Panel: Functions) or by pressing a key binding. When in Silent Running mode your shields and radiators will shut down. This means that any heat built up in your ship will be confined to within your ship and you will be almost invisible to other ships' scanners.
Silent running can be toggled in your ship's interface (Right Panel: Functions) or by pressing a key binding. When in Silent Running mode your shields and radiators will shut down. This means your ship will hold on to almost all the heat it generates, reducing its heat signature to virtually zero and becoming nearly invisible to other ships' scanners.


Although this can be useful, confining the ship's heat means it can quickly overheat and take damage if you leave Silent Running mode active for too long. You should avoid using excessive thrust and energy weapons while in this state and it is advisable to have a [[Heatsink Launcher]] on hand.
Although this can be useful, confining heat to the body of a ship means it can quickly overheat and start to take damage if you leave Silent Running mode active for too long. You should avoid using excessive thrust and energy weapons while in this state, and it is advisable to have a [[Heatsink Launcher]] on hand.


Also note that upon exiting Silent Running mode, it will take several seconds for your shields to come back online and regain full strength. If you exit Silent Running in an overheating ship, the release of excess heat will make your ship highly visible on all scanners in the local area, making you very vulnerable while your shields are still charging up.

And finally it's worth noting that many players turn [[Flight Assist]] off while Cool Running so they can be moving while their drives are off. While this helps, it is not in any way necessary in most situations, unless you want to approach with your shields ready to go.
