Commander, we all have bad days .... but you have a positive attitude so it is not all waisted .... and your learned a lesson to boot ... you should see how frantic I get in a situation like that ... I'm purely hilarious ....

Better days ahead and good flying to you ...

Cheers ...

You can probably make that back without leaving the landing pad :D

Well, after my respawn I just logged some more missions and took off, first mission was a single jump away and I made 70k off of it; so, yeah made it back, lol. This evening was a good evening - just ran Fed missions around my personal little bubble (center is Nanomam until I get rank for Sol); so made it back after handing in one normal mission.

It's just not worth getting upset over - had more than my fair share of crying-in-a-corner moments on my other account; this account is different; take the good with the bad, learn from it and play on. :p

Over-heating control can be accomplished by a thermostat and a piece of software code "if on_fire then shutdown;" :D

Indeed, it's accomplished in modern vehicles with less sophisticated devices. But any system can be overloaded.

For a real-world reference, the ushima Daiichi nuclear power plant DID shut an emergency shutdown, and still had three separate meltdowns and a few explosions in 2011.

Sure but our ships can't get flooded (yet).

If having any heat problems trying to jump when near the planet's surface, I usually turn FA off. This significantly cools down the ship.

Nice thread and luck the rebuy was not expensive...

It's true that ships or FSDs could implement some kind of protection against huge overheating, but heat generation in Elite seems to me like a way of ballancing ship stats rather than a realistic simulated factor...

That being said, something similar happened to me when making some manoeuvres with my Cutter. Heat quickly reached +200°. I dropped a heat sink and that was all, but I think FD should probably revise the speed of the heating when surface flying, since it seems to me a litte excessve and "unrealistic"...

It does indeed seem odd that we can have ships which can approach within a few 1000km of a star's corona to scoop hydrogen, can travel at speeds beyond which even the Einstein doubters envisage and at a rate of acceleration that would pulp you against the bulkhead - yet a slight miscalculation has you overheating faster than a Ford Sierra with a blocked radiator!

Still funny that a ship can build up heat to such levels.
One might think in 3304 with 1000t+ spaceships being able to land on 10g planets there'd be failsafe systems that forces the FSD to shut down when reaching 100% heat, to prevent stuff like this from happening.
Emergency oxygen supply kicks in when the canopy gets busted, so why not something similar for overheat issues?

The failsafe system failed the moment the pilot went to the forums. Please don't add something against overheat issues, I don't like invisible borders. You could also argue that no sane magician would jump off a cliff in Skyrim and yet it's possible.

I doubt there's a magician in Skyrim who did NOT jump off a cliff; especially after picking up Become Ethereal.

Wait, there are other ways to travel in Skyrim than jumping off cliffs?

The only other travel method I am aware of is when needing to go upwards, in which case one simply runs up the cliff.
