Heat ????

Heat has gone really weird - my dashboard started smoking at about 60% heat while scooping - very odd

I've been able to scoop at 60-63 with no problems, but I wouldn't want to go any higher since they changed the heat mechanics. I'm in a Cobra.
 
Blimey ! Sorry I was too busy playing to read the forums. I must admit I try to avoid them entirely due to the negativity - Here's another example of that I guess ;)

How come nobody is so hostile to the negativity threads ?
 
I'm not sure yet, but I have a feeling it might be a good idea to generally keep your temperature below that new wee segmented bit at the top of the gauge.
 
It's quite an oddball indeed.

Basically 65% is the "new 100%".

Problem is : 65% reads, looks and feels harmless - by all means.
There isn't even a yellow marker or something, neither does the colour i.e. change to Yellow or any Caution Signals popping up when you approach/pass it. Nothing that would have catched my eye.

So I think it's safe to assume that folks i.e. first see the significantly reduced heat figures operating in Normal Space and SuperCruise, thinking their Ship's Heat output has simply been "nerfed" and think they now got more headroom to play with.

That will need some refining in order to explain why Ships now start irreversibly overheating (unless you take positive action) at 65% heat, with both HUD display updating rather slow, temps creeping up continuously and smoke beginning to come up from the dashboards :p

Thank you for the helpful and pleasant post - rep to you ! Perhaps the others can learn from this.

I'm just going to avoid the forums from now on I think
