The heat signature dramatically reduces, causing the ship to become more difficult to detect on nearby ships’ scanners. The less heat a ship generates and the farther away it is from another ship, the more effective this will be. | ||
Heat generated by any active ship systems and modules starts to build up inside the ship, causing the ship’s temperature gauge to rise. | Heat generated by any active ship systems and modules starts to build up inside the ship, causing the ship’s temperature gauge to rise. | ||
