Help -- Returning player

Hi all, I am coming back after 9 month hiatus. Played a few months into engineers and was running a stealth DBS with clean drives/efficient weps. Worked great. I was able to go entire firefights with 2-3 heatinks. Anyway I just logged on, dropped into a weapon fire detected signal, popped silent running and started immediately overheating after 3-4 laser blasts.

Is silent running/stealth no longer a thing?
 
Have you got enough power grid to do low emissions engineering on your power plant? I hear that will cool your build but I don't know first hand, I might test it on my Asp explorer as it's been running hot since I did lvl 5 clean drives on it.
 
Weapons generate much more heat now as you saw for yourself. ;)

I'd try a more balanced build first and then decide on specialising again. Plasma accelerators will be quite powerful soon.
