The heat damage SCBs generates has been increased a lot. You will basicly burn up your ship if you use one. Thank god, this is precisly what I had hoped for SCBs are now useless! 
SCBs finaly nerfed proper
- Thread starter Comrade Error
- Start date
I'm hopeful that it isn't as dramatic as you describe, but if it is... I got my money out of ED with around 500 hours of enjoyment.
The saddest bit is, I only used SCB's for PvE... and as Asp's (among other NPC's) now have unlimited rails that are 100% accurate... well, SCB's were a requirement to get any real progress in CZ's or expansions. Though, I guess what could be even sadder is the game losing players... especially for folks like me that play strictly in open for player interactions...
Oh well. To each their own.

Ssshh.
Careful now. That sounds a lot like whining.
And certain people around here really don't like whining. When it's not them doing the whining, of course.

SCB's are not useless.
Why would you think so?
Yeah, I know what you mean... I sure didn't try to come off as whining, and as we do not have the update yet I won't cast judgement on the "fix". But, if FD goes the DICE route I will not continue to play their games. When a developer implements a "fix" to appease a portion of the community, but the "fix" breaks other aspects of the game... I can say that for players that like player interactions, there may be less and less...
Edit- a reply from a gaming friend (not word for word, but the parts I agree with that I can post on the forum without catching trouble)
"I share your frustration...(redacted) It is... (redacted) communities that ruin (list of games that fell off over time), pretty much every game because sub par players can't deal with something so they... (redacted) complain. It is the entitlement {mentality} of today, it really is."
However, he is also waiting to see himself how the "fix" will work.

Thanks for that link... never-mind if I am skeptical how they "sell" the "reason" for implementation. I suppose I can give them the benefit of the doubt here...
Again, until we have the update and I can play it myself I will not judge the "fix". Maybe they "fixed" the NPC's rail guns and heat management to be realistic too...
Have you been on the test server? Using a single 8A SCB on the Cutter while at 40% heat made my heat spike up to 160%.
A few SCB uses later. "Thrusters malfunctioned.", "Pulse laser malfunction", "Cargo hatch offline".

that's a little excessive. 40% heat up to 160%? that's dumb. maybe 80-90% heat?
hopefully they tone it done because you can't justify that.

Well, solution is to put heat sinks in the same fire group as the Shield cell banks. 1 heat sink per Shield cell you want to fire at the same time. These larger ships have 8 utilities. May as well make use of them.
that might work, still though, that is a little excessive.
Pointing out a flaw in the meta of the game is whining to you? Ha. Enjoy playing the game that is trying so hard to not be halo but just ended up being Halo.

whats the heat generation like with the smaller banks?
if the smaller ones generate the same amount of heat as the big ones, it'll only hurt smaller ships more since they can't afford to give up utility slots that are meant for chaff. atleast with crap like the anaconda you have over a half dozen slots to work with. a few boosters, a chaff, and a few heat sinks, can't really do that with a vulture.

Yes, apparently so.
Pointing out that Interdiction is broken, is whining.
Pointing out that NPC's have excessive skill/buffs, is whining.
Just like crying and throwing your toys out of the pram and repeatedly starting a plethora of threads about ONE module is whining.
Hope that clears up your confusion on the matter.
Destiny ended up being Halo? lol.
That sounds like whining to me. Those salty tears I have been waiting to taste these.

Just to make ti clear I honestly don't hope that it will stay the case, 160% is too much imo, I just wanted to hear the salty cries of the people who whine about those who wanted to fix those pesky SCBs.
Less heat is generated by smaller banks.
