Check your powerplant grade.
Powerplant is the module that gets rid of heat. A grade is obviously much better than E grade. I don't think the Class (size) matters too much.

Since powerplant is always on your ship always has a background heat level. My A rated Clipper would not drop below 17% even with everything off.

Sidewinder I presume? if so you will be ok, just upgrade your power plant when you can afford it.

You only start taking damage over 100%, 30-50% is fairly standard, especially with a stock ship.

Just jump anyways, see what the heat gets too. Under 160 is no hull damage, just a few point of module damage. Soon as you get a few dollars buy a D rated power plant.

Have a look at your life support system, turn it off, get out and go check the wiring. Friend of mine had someone tried to assassinate him that way once.

50% is ok. 100 is when you need to worry, you cant hyperjump for some other reason, probably cos of lack of jump distance.

Does anyone else smell bacon?

the problem is that when i jump my ship overheat and as soon as i arrive at the new system the frameshift drive shuts down. So i cant refill fuel with fuel scoop.

 

[Hootmon]

That is what Heat Sinks are for.

You refuel by flying close to the sun. Not too close or you overheat. Your frameshift drive shuts down because it has its own cooldown timer, the blue ring in the bottom right corner.

If you are too close to the sun when you activate your fsd you will overheat, which will start to damage you.

I'm not sure you will really need a fuel scoop when you first start, depends what you are doing really. Its pretty cheap to buy fuel at stations.

Some suns you cant scoop from at all, Maybe white dwarfs but I'm not sure. You need to skim the sun close enough to activate fuel scoop. then fly away to cool down then hyperspace.
