Engineers Best blueprint for T9 thrusters and power plant?

[AceMcKool]

Hello!

My T9 is overheating up to 75-80% every time I boost and hit SC or hi-wake.

I don't know if the problem is thrusters, power plant, or something else. Or if it's even a problem; maybe it's working as intended, I don't know.

I already G5ed the power plant with Overcharged + Thermal Spread, but it keeps overheating.

I'm here sitting at Palin's lab, but before doing anything I'd like some advice, please:

What should I put on the thrusters so I don't have to re-do the plant?

a) Clean+Thermal Spread
b) Clean+Drag Drives
c) Dirty+Thermal Spread
d) Dirty+Drag Drives

I mostly use it for very occasional mining and in-system hauling of tritium from station to FC, so hyperspace jumps are a rare occurrence.

Any advice welcome. Thanks! o7

Don't boost and then SC or jump.

Edit: 6A Powerplant needed.

Don't boost and then SC or jump.

Can't help it if I have pirates on my A.

Ofc it does - you are using a D-rated PP
Use only A rated PP, smallest that can provide enough power for your ship


Oh now i noticed that you overcharged it - that's even worse
It has an efficiency of 0.84

I regard as bad anything over 0.43 and only in very niche cases i would use one with 0.5 efficiency

Engineer thrusters as G5 Dirty Drives with Drag Drives
and replace the PP with 5A with overcharged 1 with thermal spread
Or 6A with G1 low emissions with thermal spread

Thanks, guys!!

So, um... what about the thrusters?

Awesome, thank you!

Your build is all over the place...

• use the smallest A rated pp that can power everything you want
• you want to mine? you need an A rated distributor (charge enhanced, super conduits)
• you want to survive? you need an A rated shield generator (reinforced, high cap), class 6
• your class 6 slot is wasted by a c5 limpet, while your 5D shield is crap
• your shield boosters need to be one HD, one resistance aug, one thermal resistance all with supercaps
• your thrusters need to be A rated dirty drag drives. A cow is bad enough, don't cripple it with D rated thrusters
• you don't need chaff on a cow. NO CHAFF ON A COW. EVER. Seriously.
• one heat sink launcher is enough

I have dirty and thermal on mine.

Straight, short and to the point. Love it!

Thank you!

These are my two Cows for comparison

[IDA] Pleiades Heavy, stationed at Malthus Terminal, homebase of Operation Ida, also built to survive in open.
This was built to do heavy hauling from the bubble to the Pleiades Nebula to repair the starports,
it could reach the bubble without stop just by scoop while passing the stars.
