I would love to have an option to lock my overheated modules, even after jumps...

It's a pain in the ass to have to reoverheat each module each time I jump ....

Any problem or issue with this ?

Is it such a big problem to shift-click the item one more time?

One module, no. Four or more mods, when chasing someone through a number of systems - YES. Lost a couple of ships already because I forgot to overheat something after jumping.

I know that the option to lock the Overload state in place for all mods exists already, but in the middle of a battle, while managing heat, we can't be expected to go through a drop down menu to re-enable manual Overload management.

And I understand that the overload state of the modules is probably tied to the current session you're in, and gets reset when session changes, but if it's possible to lock all module overload states in place via drop down menu, is it not possible for server to detect overload states before session change, and reapply them when you load new session in the next system?

The thing I like with the new releases is that CCP does look at the smaller issues like this and possibly add it as a minor improvement to a release...

There were a few threads a few weeks back about having a module cool down timer, after the reload timers were introduced, and look what is in the Oceans patch notes
Added module cooldown timer.

Keep it up CCP! gj.

Came here wonder why people didn't just shift click,


Then realized that being able to lock overload would be hella useful,

This would make it 50% easier for me to burn out of bubbled gates and avoid getting felt up by a sabre. Useful, but a little too easy perhaps?

Yes, yes it is.

No, not really, but it would still be nice to have...and CCP already has a track record for introducing things "we don't really need, but is nice to have anyways". Actually, they have a track record for just introducing things we don't really need, period" too.

Actually that option does not do what you think. I thought the same thing, so I tried it out. What happened was that I found my overload state was "locked" and I could not heat any modules at all.

Overload modules first, then enable the Lock. When the Lock is enabled, you can't manually turn overload on/off, it stays the way it was when the Lock was enabled.

Gon bump this.....and +1, I think this would be really nice. Of course not necessarily needed, but it would make things easier. Would be much more straightforward if shift+click locked overheat on modules through gates, then you could enable/disable it quickly as needed without going through the menu.

I agree. Overheating options should persist through session changes. Even docking.

The webs and points on my Recons are perma overheated and need to be so too.

The very sun of heaven seemed distorted when viewed through the polarising miasma welling out from this sea-soaked perversion, and twisted menace and suspense lurked leeringly in those crazily elusive angles of carven rock where a second glance shewed concavity after the first shewed convexity.

The reason this isn't already in the game is a technical one that relates to how session changes are handled.

It may be possible, but it's not as much of a "little thing" as you think.
