CQC Thermal attack in CQC?

Was playing a match now, and there's one player who won by a mile. Every time he shooted me I've heard 'thermal attack'....

Did I miss something or now eng. modded weapons are in CQC too?
 
No, this is not " something new" this is Beam laser which works now. You expect that Beam leaser doesn't make heat, but itsn't correct, it was bug before, now fixed. Because you can read it in its description : Dump heat into cooling system". Now it works.

Aye. It's simply a warning message for something that's always been in there.

As part of the differences between thermal and kinetic weapons, it's always been stated that thermal weapons generate more heat but also dump small amounts of heat in the target ship. Though the announcement was never there, but the brilliant decision to add the warning with 2.1 dropping meant there has indeed been much confusion.

But not nearly as much as "impulse attack". I believe people have genuinely spent time looking up "impulse" effects, but it would appear to simply be a notification for any attack that physically moves your ship. Rails slightly knock your ship on hit, which generates the warning message, and a hysterical level of forum posts complaining their ship was just instaganked by a highly modded ship that made it "far more dangerous than their unmodded ship" -_-
