Ships heat signature? And power plants

[Captain Hammer]

I think there should be a bonus heat modifier built into power usage. So say you are setting up a stealth build if you are only using say 40% of maximum power output it should reflect on your heat dropping a few %
What do you guys think?

That mechanic is already in place. Turn everything off, ship cools down. Turn a few things back on, ship heats up a bit. Turn it all on, ship heats up alot. Better PP with more power overhead means a cooler running ship, low grade PP with very little overhead means hotter running ship. Here's a vid, look at the module list. You might notice I also run with no life support.
