This causes the temperature of the said ship to drop to single digits or even zero. Currently, there is no 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 to manually turn off non-essential systems. Cool Running is slightly better than Silent Running stealth wise, as it does not have the time limit imposed by continued heat generation and heat confinement . | ||

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 a different situation where one wishes to ambush another, non-essential systems may be all systems apart from (Thrusters,) Shields and Life Support, this results in the Shields being fully operational as the ambush takes place. | ||
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. | 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. | ||
