Engineers What's the most effective thermal vent for an AX krait II?

[M. Volgrand]

Hi there.

I am an active xeno hunter, but my krait does overheat a bit and I'm expending way too many synthesis reloads on heat sinks.

I am actually armed with x3 Gauss Cannons size 2, x1 turreted AX multicannon and x1 flak cannon. I am planning to change the multicannon for a beam with thermal vent.

Question is: What would be the most effective beam size to keep my ship nice and cool? Size 1, 2 or 3? At present I have unlocked beam upgrades up to level 3. I was checking on Coriolis, but I could not find any option that described the heat profile of my ship :S.

Thanks

Are you using an Overcharged power plant? I had overheating issues till I switched to an Armoured/Thermal power plant.

I run 2 gauss, 2 ax multi, and 1 flak (I do mostly AX CZs, and find it's a good mix for fighting both scouts and interceptors).

Right now I use x3 gauss and flak Cannon. I have just been trying with a class 3c beam laser with grade 3 heat vent and it worked very well. At present I am just hunting down interceptors but yeah, I normally use your build if I have to hunt down scouts.
