Heat sinks near Azrael?

Who do I have to shoot to get a heat sink around here? None at Rafs.

The new heat mechanics introduced with Horizons means that heat sinks are no longer optional. I got to get me some of that... :)

Head over to Exioce. Miller has them.

Thanks Lo. Got a bounty on my head over there, but I think I can sneak past. :)

Dvorsi has them as well, and so does Gende. Both are High Tech Systems as well.

Seems you're the GoTo guy for information. Thanks again. :)

Wow. Awesome site.

I'll admit to being a lazy bugger, so if you don't mind terribly, I'll just post here and hope for your reply next time I have a query... :oops:

After some testing yesterday, the need for heat sinks seems to vary from ship to ship. My combat Python gets hot when deploying a 6A SCB, but if I don't use a heat sink it only causes about 2% module damage when it hits about 150% on the heat meter. But... I don't want to give up too many external slots to heat sinks. So.... after I've used the 4 charges in the one heat sink that I carry, I just use any additional SCB's needed and take the heat damage. The repair costs have been minimal so far, but I've only not used a heat sink with a 6A SCB a few times. I think that a 5A SCB in a Python wouldn't require a heat sink at all.

My new FDL seems to run very cool (besides looking and sounding cool as hell! 8-) ) and doesn't even get up to 100% on the heat gauge when I fire a 4A SCB. No heat sinks required on that ship, IMO.

I haven't tried the SCB's on the Asp yet to check for heat.

Good intel. I'm flying A-rated Python myself, but not sure which size shield cell module I have (not at my gaming rig). I actually have a few spare external slots and a bit of juice left over, and I would definitely prefer a build that is as balanced as possible, so getting a heat sink on there is a must have for me. Don't want to be damaging my ship for no good reason. :)

Swapped to bi-weave shields on my Donna, and don't really think it needs SCB's anymore.
OK there are wings not to engage solo, but mostly i can kill anything I want.


And this morning before bed I bought a new Fer-de-lance, put a PA and burst lasers on it :)


On the topic of azrael, have we noticed we can't even buy shuttles there anymore?
Think I am going to have to move my fleet out of there cause that just won't do..
