Just remove Ghost Heat, and set fixed heat threshold, one that doesn't rise with additional DHS, whether it's in the engine or external.

Then you can give a chassis/variant quirks for higher/lower heat threshold in order to tune for balance.

For example, set fixed heat threshold at 30. Then give Awesome a quirk that raises its heat cap to 36. He can shoot 3 PPCs simultaneously and not shutdown.

Any other mech tries it and instantly shuts down.

Lower heat threshold also prevents high initial burst damage spam, which is really what cripples/kills mechs quickly when the fight starts.
