{{Main|Heatsink Launcher}}
Heat sink modules can be fitted to Utility Mounts. When activated (i.e. fired), a heat sink module flushes the cooling system’s heat into a heat sink which is then ejected from the ship. This will cause a blip to be generated on the scanners of any nearby ships. Ejected heat sinks can also be used as a form of chaff against heat tracking missiles, causing them to switch lock from your ship to the sink (n.b. This is not a behaviour of regular chaff, which only disrupts enemy gimballed and turret weaponry, so does not affect missiles that have already been launched.)
