Ships Tired of Mandalay for Exobio ... when will Cobra Mk5 be available to be purchased in game?

The overheating happens if you are scooping and start charging for the jump to the next system at the same time. (This is a technique that commanders who want to get to their destination as fast as possible love to use, rather than having to supercruise away from the star before starting the jump.)

With the normal SCO drive the Mandalay does not overheat in this situation, while with the pre-engineered SCO drive it does (although, as someone mentioned, engineering your power plant for "low emissions" might help).
I specifically made it so that you can jump next to a star, there is a pre-engineered SCO, everything is ok.

Mandalay Jump with a full tank 86,6 L.Y. Heating at rest 16% . All equipment for a comfortable exploration

If you engineer the ships powerplant for thermal efficiency, the pre engineered sco drive doesn't overheat, you can initiate the jump drive while scooping without problems, and can also stay in sco boosted flight for as long as fuel lasts without overheating.
