Ships Why does my T8 run really hot?

It's especially hot when high waking. The heat continues to rise until the actual jump no matter how far away from the star I am. Any advice is appreciated.

You already have an Armored + Thermal plant, so pretty much, that's just how it is.

You can swap to a Low Emissions plant if you can tweak your build to still have enough power. Reducing power usage will also help a little, maybe swap the prismatic, and
turn off the cargo hatch.

Does the T8 just run hot? I only have the one T8, so I have no other T8 builds to compare it to. It always seems to be in the high 90% or above when high waking. I find that unusual for a build that has Armored/Thermal spread and operates at nowhere near 100% power output. I usually run with the distro and cargo hatch turned off to help that.

EDSY has the build at 66% at equilibrium. So yes, being anywhere close to the star will put you above that and climbing when charging.

I always see high heat, leaving planet surfaces, stations, etc., when high waking. I just find it different from experiences in other ships.

Take out or deactivate the shield boosters & prismatic shield and see what happens to the heat. If that works, just use a regular shield with G3 engineering

It's not a warship, just needs to run away fast.

I’ll try that. I conveniently has those in storage when I was building that ship so that’s what I used.
