HOLY...It's BURNING !!

[CMDR.FREEZER]

Upgraded 3 large multi cannons grade one overcharged weapon with Incendiary Rounds, and my god the shield dmg is mental, but damn it gets hot fast.

i run with a full multi cannon loadout were huge has corrosive shell at the moment and as said above 3 large with Incendiary Rounds. 2 Medium with none specials.

I wounder if it would be less heat problematic running Incendiary Rounds on 2 medium and the huge rather then on 3 large ?

Did you try to add some beams with heat vanes? They run as cool as a fridge (as long as you hit the target).

My Funship has 7 MCs, two of them with the incendary rounds mod. Its beautiful.

I though the FAS was going to be my main combat craft, but the Funship is so much... fun!

have just started getting decent amount of materials for certain upgrades. havent gotten that far.
Allthough i dont really like beam lasers based on past experience, they do good dmg allright but at 1,5-2 km distance they barely hit. unless that has changed in 2.1

I suppose you got alot of heat sinks ?

No. I have no heat issues. I can fire those babies non-stop without overheating. (well, they stop to reload, but can't help that unless i go for the auto-reload mod).

What are you flying? Are you flying a ship that is prone to heat problems?

[Agony_Aunt]

You don't happen to have emmisive munitions on any of your weapons do you? That one can cause you heat problems.

isn't there some mods for day power plant that reduce its heat? Could use them to offset gun heat

I spent an evening trying to get those for my MCs but apparently not only is the roulette wheel silly on its face, but also doesn't work because even the few times I "won" I ended up with no effects in 20-30 rolls.

I have won special effects naturally, but mainly i was burning reputation to force the engineer to make the mod i wanted.

Yes, but from now on, you should only refer to it as the funship.

Hehe, as i cannot affort a 8A pp yet i had to overcharge my 7A...got 4.11 MW more, nice boost =) but obviously at the cost of heat efficiency

[CMDR.FREEZER]

It's not like am burning up or anything. its ok but it does get hot with 3 large MC useing Incendiary Rounds
But i know why...See i compare this to 3 large pulse, with 4 pips to weapons shooting pulse lasers will empty my distributor before i even reach 80% heat. that dosnt happen with MC...distributor dosnt even move, so empty 3 clips on 3 large MC with Incendiary Rounds takes me to around 122% heat. But shields and powerplants on ships die long before that happens :P

[Agony_Aunt]

Ah, maybe its the combination of 3 large MCs. I only have 1. Although i didn't think it produced that much heat.

It might be a combination of ship (some ships are more sensitive to heat it seems to me), heat generating engineer mods (do you pay attention to mods which add heat? You might be running hotter than normal as it is), and of course your weapons on top.
