Large Bunk Room Heat?

[pakrat811]

I added 8 Lg Bunk rms too my new BAT. I Kept every thing the same . the game forced me to add 6 Cooling shunts just for BUNK ROOM?

*cough* outfit expansion *cough*

The outfits expansion now adds a cooling inefficiency as a way to balance the Bactrian.

[tehhowch]

Not just the Bactrian.. any ship with large cargo space

[Storm Crow]

But mostly the Bactrian.

This is STUPID STUFF. THE game needs to be rebalanced and better scales in the out fitting

The game seems balanced to me, could you be more specific of what you think need to be balanced?

Do it yourself then. It's not hard.

In order to board another ship in combat you need people. Poeple need bunks. The more bunk rooms i add the more insane the cooling needs become. being in space doesnt even matter?

[pakrat811]

I would understand if it was engine heat or computer heat or hull heat in direct sunlight. BUT BUNKROOMS?

[warp_core]

The bunk rooms aren't making the heat. The outfit expansions impede the cooling of the ship by reducing it's ability to dissipate heat and by making the cooling provided by cooling outfits less efficient. If anything, having the bunk rooms installed in addition to the outfit expansions is improving your heat situation because the increased mass from the bunk rooms raises your max heat, albeit not by much when you have a lot of outfit expansions.
Try removing the bunk rooms and watch the max heat value go down but all the heat generating values stay the same.
And why should being in space mean that the ship runs cooler? There's no medium around the ship for the heat to be physically transferred to. The only way heat can escape is by radiation and since you're going to be in direct sunlight most of the time, you're probably going to be gaining heat depending on the distance from the star.

WOW this game has so real limits

[Niflthaena]

Vents + bunk rooms in the vents = Vents don't work so well as vents anymore.

[pakrat811]

I have learned more bunks doesnt equal more CREW?

[warp_core]

No. It equals more crew capacity. Your required crew will stay the same.

[Amazinite]

You have to go to the required crew tab and hire extra crew. Bunks increase the number of extra crew members you can hire. If you get bunks and don't hire more crew, you won't have extra crew when boarding.
