Heatsink Launcher: Difference between revisions

Line 4:

Heat sinks can be used to temporarily cool the ship by transferring all internally stored heat to them and then ejecting them from the ship.

Heat sinks are most commonly used in connection with [[Silent Running]] or with larger ships dumping excess heat when making multiple hyperspace jumps~~, deploying~~ a heat sink when weapons systems are overheated will also speed up the cool down process. The heat sink launchers are installed on ~~ships~~ Utility Mount and you can install more than one providing your ship has additional Utility Mounts to install them ~~upon~~. Each heat sink has a capacity of 3 sinks and each sink can hold approx 90-100% of ~~ships~~ maximum heat capacity. Heat sinks can be launched via a dedicated key binding or launched via the fire button of the fire group the launcher is assigned ~~too and hardpoints~~ do not need to he deployed to launch a heat sink.

If you ~~have more than one Heat Sink Launcher assigned~~ to ~~a particular fire group~~, each launcher will launch ~~a sink~~ at ~~the same time so~~ depleting ~~stocks by one on all launchers in that fire group but Primary and Secondary fire groups do fire independently~~.

Note that the key bound to "launch heat sink" does not always launch a sink while in Super Cruise. To work around this, use a fire button instead (assign it to a fire group before entering supercruise select the fire group prior to entering supercruise).

If you use fire groups to launch heat sinks, make sure each launcher is bound separately. Otherwise, every sink bound to that key will launch at once, depleting ammo.
