Just from stock racing, pretty sure they will allow it in unlimited class especially if it self penalises by prodigious fuel use.The Buckyballers are so banning this module (mind you most of those builds will prolly explode)

Fit it in a Dolphin?
What speeds did people get to?
~3200 C for large ships
~4600 C for small ships
At the cost of being on fire and out of fuel on arrival.
Was going to suggest this could work for A-X activities. With the current Orthrus hunting in Alert systems, visited one yesterday and the only Lvl4 Non-Human signals (Orthrus) available appeared beyond 250KLs from the system's sun. Even with the max timer, that would be difficult to get to under normal super cruise speeds.
Trying to figure out the intended use case.
Who’d have thought, putting an overdrive module based on Titan technology into FSDs makes them try to cook your ship(and you).
… sarcastic joking aside, I did think there’d be a drawback to thermal load with that thing while the fast mode is active. Maybe we should have tried to salvage some of the Titan heat venting technology as well while we were at it.

I've yet to test against interdictions, but this could make cold AX builds be able to boost away from the many, many interdictions faced when supercruising to spires/titans. It'd make it nicer than the submit, boost, wake cycle.
You can't activate the overcharge if you're being interdicted sadly, I have yet to test against Thargoids, maybe it can finally handle their interdictions at the very least?
That's frustrating. I suppose it might help mitigate if you notice a Thargoid pop up on your sensors before they start the interdiction. I need to learn to read the radar in supercruise better methinks.
If heat is a significant result of usage, then A-X has to be the focus as those ships are engineered to run cold. Plus, as I've mentioned above, the Non-Human signals in Alert systems are so far out, super-cruise on its own would fail to reach some even with a max signal timer.
You should just be able to burn all the way there, and dock at some ungodly temperature and just wait for it to subside and repair every now and then at dock.
Like I mentioned above, this is going to make my massacre stacking doctrine insane... will reduce travel time to USS drastically... not that it was long to begin with (50% of the total activity was probably travel) but this is going to make it blisteringly fast.
Also, missions with range-based bonuses just got crazy.

That is a real shame. So actually another weapon in the arsenal of aggressors then, being as they will be able to boost into Interdictor range really quickly.
Oh well...
I'd be tempted to go for the Dolphin with its broken heat mechanics. But I think the instability will be an issue with long boosts - it's certainly balanced to be most useful for short bursts.
Edit: Got out to around 600k ls before fuel was low. Temperature only up to around 200%, but (as expected) pretty unstable. No Hutton win for me
Not possible - at least yet.
