This is just a reminder that only the first 10 engine sinks are 2.0. After those first 10, they are 1.4.

I believe the 2.0 rule applies to all heat sinks you put in the engines, even additional ones. But I admit, that I am never sure about that. That's why I made my charts based on a 250 rated engine, there at least we can be sure (and a 250 rated engine is half-way doable on most chassis.)

I recall a developer making a post that only the first 10 sinks are truly 2.0 and the rest of the engine sinks you mount are 1.4. I'll have to find it.

But how can you tell if the weapon is bad if the heat is broken? Garth got 128 damage out of 6 medium lasers before shutting down An Awesome firing 3 ER PPCs should do the same. THAT is weapon balance!

Mlaser - heat generated to produce 128 DMG, = 102.4
ER PPC - heat generated to produce 128 DMG, = 166.23

ER PPC is bad. At long range use the GR, at short range use the medium laser. If you want to do both, use the GR. (Maybe even the AC/2 & AC/5)
