I remember back during the abomination that was energy draw testing one of the few things I liked was heat sink nationalization. Besides hit point values are heat-sinks performing the same IS vs Clan?
no, there are diferances.
Clan Double heatsinks have higher disipation but lower capacity than IS Double Heatshink, all in engine DHS have 0.2 disipation per second and 2 capacity per heatsink, out of engine DHS if I remember correctly and they have not changed it recently without me noticing, IS DHS have 0.14 disipation per second and 1.4 heat capacity while Clan DHS have 0.15 disipation per second and 1.1 capacity.
turns out I was wrong, it was changed end of last year, clan and IS are now the same again in terms of disipation and capacity, see Nerokar's post below
Also I realy wish they had not given up on energy draw so quickly, it seemed to me to have far more potential than the existing heat scale "ghost heat" system and logicly made a lot more sense, it just needed a little more work, like most of the mechanics PGI takes to testing with a little more work it could be a significant improvement, but player backlash against the initial version cause them to abandon it.
