    The more I look at the model without the spoiler/wing kit, the more I get Serenety vibes about it. This thing seems very versatile too, so I probably finally have a multirole ship, that can predecess my trusty old Cobra in style and usefulness.

    From what I've been told, thermal conduit, you need to be above 150% heat to effectively get more damage output. You were below 100% heat.

    • @Alswulf
      @Alswulf  2 місяці тому +2

      incorrect: thermal conduit starts working from 90%, adding additional 1% of damage up to 150%. But the "problem" of the ship that it had decent heat dissipation which doesn't allow to heat up to desired temperature with such weapon config,

      @@Alswulf 2 years ago. It could be the test server isn't set up for it. From what I've been told still, no one uses thermal conduit because it's broken now just like when you attack a wing of 3 wanted ships, the wingmates 90% of the time don't fire back unless the middle ship blows up. That's been broke for almost 2 years.

      @@Alswulf Disable all modules except one hot weapon (SRB PA/rail for example) and a heatsink. Pop the heatsink to get ship's heat to 0%. Fire one round of weapon. Observe heat % increase. Heat cap then is (roughly) thermal load of weapon divided by heat % of ship after firing. HC = 100 * TL / H_p (H_p = heat in percent, TL = thermal load, HC = heat capacity)
