been doing some investigating and found something illogical. why is it that having more weapons effects your heat efficiency ?

surely only heat sinks affect the speed of heat dissipation, think for a min your heat sinks can shift a given amount of heat per second so if you equip one laser fire it and your mech will return to normal temp after a second or 2 (depending on what laser you use) now add another laser and fire just one of them it took longer to return to normal temp didn't it? why though you still have the same amount of sinks shifting the same amount of heat and indeed the amount of heat generated was also the same

its barely noticeable with small amounts of small weapons but when you get 4 or more of a given weapon system especially ppcs heat dissipation falls right off even if you only fire one and boat heat sinks

so my suggestion is simple instead of your heat management being somewhere between 0 and 2 have a heat dissipation stat that says how many heat per second your mech can shift and next to that how much heat is generated just by moving your mech and next to that how much heat an alpha will generate it'll probably change little in game but it would make a little more sense than the current system
