Just happened ot me on the Manifold Map. Was above the center between those pillars while getting engaged in melee by two enemy mechs. Naturally I lost my heat management out of sight and heated up beyond the threashold. Tried to hit Heat Shutdown override (O) but was to late and mech shut down. And stayed shut down while I was being shoot at. After a few moments of not turning on again I got active but hit Override isntead of Power Button. And then I died from continous fire with a mech that had been shut down for several seconds.

I have three possible guesses what happened:
1. I was getting more heat from flamers, so my mech stayed heat shut down. But no damage from flamers that entire match and no visible flamers during death scene.
2. Due to damage I lost heatsinks. Thus the relative heat was too big for my lesser amount of heatsinks and mech stayed shut down waiting to cool down below restart treshold.
Question: If I loose heatsinks from damage, do I also loose the part of the heat stored in that sink? If not, please add that.
3. The hit of Override was to late to stop shutdown, but hitting override disabels the automatic restart too (because you put that into the same if block as the auto shutdown). Basically a very rare race condition with proessing the Shutdown Override and then not checking for auto-restart.

As I am not aware how the rules should work I cannot really tell if this is a bug or just what happens if you get more heat/loose heat sinks. Just something you might want to check in the code.

You possibly hit "P", the power down button, instead of "O"?
