First off, my apologies if I posted this in the wrong section of the forums. I sifted around for too long, and this seems the most appropriate location...
So, I have been engineering my thrusters and came across something that I do not fully understand. Heat output from this module! I have searched the internet and could not find the specific answer to this question.
I'll make this question as simple as possible, does the heat output from thrusters come strictly from when you boost? or does this encompass a constant output of heat while you are flying around and not boosting? i.e. Temperature resting point and cool down speed.
-I know that boosting will cause an increase in heat that will eventually let off and your ship will begin cooling off. But when simply flying around, based on the thruster type and especially engineering, will this cause my heat levels "resting point" to remain at a certain level? for instance, lets say I take whatever thruster and throw g5 dirty drives on it, I know this will "increase heat", but to what extent beyond boosting heat? will this raise the "resting point" of heat levels? Will this cause my ship to cool off slower?
Sorry for the barrage of questions, but there are only so many ways I can ask and explain what answers I am looking for. Thank you to any and all that can help me to figure this out!
