[http://elite-dangerous.wikia.com/wiki/Silent_Running Silent running] can be toggled in your ships interface (left 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 ~~stay in~~ your ship and you will be almost invisible to other ship's scanners.

[http://elite-dangerous.wikia.com/wiki/Silent_Running Silent running] can be toggled in your ships interface (left 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 within your ship and you will be almost invisible to other ship's scanners.

On the downside if you let the heat build up to much your ship will overheat and take damage. You should avoid using excessive thrust and energy weapons (except [http://elite-dangerous.wikia.com/wiki/Stealth_Laser stealth lasers]) while in this state and you should have [http://elite-dangerous.wikia.com/wiki/Heat_Sink_Launcher heat sinks] on hand.

== Cool Running ==

Cool Running is when ~~you turn~~ off ~~many~~ ship ~~systems so your ships temperature~~ drops to ~~zero or at least~~ single digits. ~~There is currently no easy~~ way to ~~toggle~~ Cool Running without third party software, instead ~~you~~ must ~~go into~~ the Modules tab of ~~the left~~ ship ~~interface~~ and manually turn off ~~the~~ systems ~~you don't currently need~~. Cool Running is ~~almost as good as~~ Silent Running stealth wise ~~but doesn't~~ have the time limit ~~imposed~~ by ~~not getting rid of~~ heat.

Cool Running is when most if not all systems of a ship are turned off. This causes the temperature of the said ship drops to single digits or zero. Currently, there isn't any convenient way to initiate Cool Running without third party software, instead one must use the Ship's Modules tab from the right-hand-side of their ship and manually turn off non-essential systems. Cool Running is slightly better than Silent Running stealth wise as it does not have the time limit impose by continued heat generation and heat confinement .

The systems ~~that you will wish to turn off depend on your~~ situation~~, if you're looking~~ to smuggle illegal goods into a starport ~~for example~~, ~~you~~ will ~~want to turn off almost everything except drives~~ and ~~scanner~~. ~~But if you intend~~ to ambush ~~someone you~~ may ~~want to turn off everything but shields~~ and ~~life support instead so when you spring the trap your~~ shields will be fully ~~charged~~.

The said non-essential systems are situational dependent. In a situation where one wishes to smuggle illegal goods into a starport, non-essential systems will be all systems but Drives and Scanner. While in another situation where one wishes to ambush another, non-essential systems may become all systems except (Thrusters,) Shields and Life Support, therefore shields will be fully operational as the ambush takes place.

~~Remember~~, ~~you will need to wait until your~~ temperature drops to ~~almost~~ zero ~~and~~ ice ~~forms~~ on the cockpit~~. Alternatively~~, a [http://elite-dangerous.wikia.com/wiki/Heat_Sink_Launcher heat sink] ~~can~~ be used to ~~bypass~~ the ~~wait~~.

Also, as a ship's temperature drops to zero in Cool Running, ice will form on the cockpit's glass as an indication however this can take a considerable amount of time therefore, a [http://elite-dangerous.wikia.com/wiki/Heat_Sink_Launcher heat sink] may be used to reduce the time required.
