Hot Type 6...

Replace the E class power generator, I found that fitting a D did the trick, you get to about 98% heat on spooling up the FSD, will be less with a better one.
Well I upgraded the powerplant and it seems to have fixed the problem. just to be sure I fitted a heat sink launcher for special occasions haha. thank you guys 
I also intend to upgrade to a better ship (ASP) when I have sufficient funds. However Im still recovering from the ASP I lost due to a stupid pilot error that occured while engaged in combat with a hostile Python.
Yet Im convinced that I will be able to achieve my goal in a timely fashion with the Type 6 and my momentary trade route which gives me about 100k credits profit per run.

I run with a D power plant too- and tend to let the heat dip below 70% before kicking the Friendship Drive. That usually leaves me more or less bang on 100% as I make the jump. It's just one of the T6's foibles, it runs a little hot. It's not elegant, but it gets the job done

I really do like how FD have given the different ships their own personalities (sounds, quirks, etc.) For example, I remember flying the Adder and realizing the that cargo scoop was not well positioned. You had to aim above what you were trying to scoop. I was annoyed at first, but then learned to love the Adder and this quirk. I shouldn't have sold it
On that note, it's too bad we can't name ships. I get attached.

Run it like that for your enjoyment
Mine always has the overheat warning no matter what. First jump is fine, then after that, it's 100% heat every jump. Not sure if there is a better power plant I can put in but since 1.1 it's annoying.
Thrusters are my last item to upgrade.

Just equipping (not using) 3 heatsinks on the utility mounts helps the T6 a lot. An A powerplant even more. The T7 runs cooler with A powerplant without the need for additional heatsinks.
Type 6 can run hot, no problem, it's onlt at circa 150 you start taking heat damage. I've gone above 200 and not exploded

I agree totally with both your points- I love the freighter crates in particular- they feel... lumpy. I forgot my second favoured name for a ship recently anyway- so hope that ability doesn't arrive before it returns to me
Oh, and yes, I can completely understand being unwilling to sell ships. I have kept my Cobra MK III because.. well, because Elite really. You have to have one of those. Trying to tell myself that no-one needs all three Lakons Ts, either, and that I should only ever own one of them at a time..
They've done a nice job with the ships, I'm really enjoying that aspect.

My asp runs at 38-39 degrees nominally so it is a good choice.
mines just fine, suggest you go to your local outfitters and do some upgrading. Namely a rated f's, distributor and power plant. Mine stays under 100 even after boost + jump.
