I've had that happen several times, jump into a system only to discover your within a tight cluster of stars cooking the ship. Gotta be quick on the controls switching over to combat mode and popping heatsinks, I actually had flames coming off my dash. I chewed through a lot of mats refilling my AFMU.Things are hotting up in here...
Heat sinks are, like chaff, one of the things that you can bind a control for so no need to add them to a fire group and as far as I can remember they are launchable in both modes.
When bound to a button in the settings, you can launch them at Will...
They will appear on one side of your HUD, in a separate "compartment":

I don't know him. The problem I have is too many bindings and I forget what I bound where, so I stick with what I've learned (and sometimes I have a small pile of animals in my lap with my feet up).
That makes it a little more difficult, I agree.
Using a controller, I have to be a little more selective about which functions I need/want. Makes it a lot easier to remember the binds (and that the according bindings scheme pops up on the press of a button helps too...).
Poor Will.
There's an awful lot of red dots on your HUD, save me some, I'm on my way.I finally made it to the party then in my recently acquired Alliance Challenger - "Father Grigori." Better late than never I guess.
Great screenshots there. Quite some system that!This place...[ITC 1805 Sector :]

When I went to Elysian Shore in the Asp X that time before I got the carrier (and briefly before that in my Cobra MkIII,) I didn't go all that deep into the region so missed a lot of the good stuff I guess. Also missed that nebula you mentioned and that cluster of stars.
As for black holes, maybe I should have approached the big one in Sag A closer than I did but oh well...

Thankyou - it's not my discovery, more of a "stumbled-upon" while wandering about - saw the ITC 1805 Cluster when i was almost half way from Heart & Soul to the Bubble Nebula, headed this way out of interest... Quite an area of space this, with some very interesting systems... have had a few 1st discoveries as it hasn't been scanned to death, so quite a bit more to explore here - even though that extraordinary system with 23 stellar bodies (if i counted right - 1 Type O, 14 Yellow stars, 5 dwarfs ...and 3 black holes) has a tourist beacon, though no tourist resort ;]
...running a bit low on Tritium to return to the bubble, but remembered the Formidine Rift mystery (have only really read about it on Canonn / here in the forum) and thought i should visit one of the abandoned settlements while i'm out here - turned out to be 2400LY back past Heart&Soul... so i'm contemplating a quicker ship-only trip out there before returning with carrier to the busier systems...

I'd love to see an optional "gore mode". Completely not in keeping with the game though
But... if we ever do get goid hunting on-foot (I'm not holding my breath), it would be nice to see legs and eye stalks flying all over the place along with alien goo. Gib attack.

Sorry - was mid edit
...the 2400LY abandoned settlement hunt has been distracted by a stop for Jelly Cones ;p

My brain always adds a "hot" in there...
