So I been thinking a lot recently, looking at videos etc and overheating seems pretty much the thing everyone does almost immediately when going into a fight.

When overheating was first introduced its was supposed to be like that last minute saviour, or something to get you out of trouble, however the amount of time you can now overheat, especially with skills is far too OP and too long. You can almost overheat especially in smaller ship fights for most of the fight. Surely there is something a little wrong there. Overheating should only be for a short period, shouldn't it? Your guns, or mods should burn out far more quickly than they do, otherwise you might as well just give every mod those extra increase normally.

I know, but my point is the amount of time that you can actually overheat before your module burns out. Its just far too long.

Nothing wrong with overheating, what those videos never show are the times they burn out their reppers ,tackle or propmods.

It's fine, theirs a thin line between extra performance and certain doom.

Solo and Small gang PVPer overheat at the start of an engagement because generally those fights are going to be over before the heat burns out the mods. at most overheating a full rack of guns you will get 1min 30secs of life in them before burning them out. Most fights with solo and small gangs are decided within that timeframe.

im thinking this is also hull based? i tried overheating in my dramiel and my mods burned out soo fast, it does require some attention though while managing range, points and webs and everything overheating requires quite a bit of skill

I am dealing with really thick people today? That's the point. It ridiculous that can overheat for so long. With some careful management you can pretty much overheat for the whole fight. This wasn't what overheat was supposed to do. Also sure everyone can do it, doesn't mean its right though does it.

No she is not. Everyone can do it, everyone is encouraged to do it, thus levelling the playing field. Nothing op about something everyone can do and does. Real question here is why you have a problem with it! That's what we should know.

Your opinions and assumptions here are questionable.

Also, the data you have provided is overwhelming and totally supports your conclusion.

I don't judge people by their race, religion, color, size, age, gender, or ethnicity. I judge them by their grammar, spelling, syntax, punctuation, clarity of expression, and logical consistency.

if what you say is based on watching videos and not personal experience then you are misleading yourself.
overheating it working good,, so no overheating isn't OP.

everyone can use it, but i guess not all are good at it. Roll
