Edited by: yleo on 10/12/2009 10:51:43 Edited by: yleo on 10/12/2009 10:48:12 Hi, i have a question abut subj. Say, i have a ship with 3 med slots and i want to fit 2LSE and MWD. how should i place them to make MWD work longer in overloaded mode?
calculations: if overloaded module addes a chance for each module in rack to get damaged, you should place MWD LSE LSE, to make second LSE less damage. MWD will work the same time (in average) despite module placement in rack.
if overloaded module addes a chance for several *strikes* for a rack, then you should place LSE MWD LSE to maximize the chance for LSE to be *striked* instead of MWD.
I've seen both points of view in forum, and i haven't seen a single GM post to clarify this point.
P.S. EFT says, it's better to fit MWD LSE LSE

It doesn't matter, it's been proven by testing that while heat "spreads" over time into the whole rack, in case of a single module placement is non-issue.
Also, again proven by testing, the popular (and even been said by devs themselves when heat was introduced) belief that you can use OFFLINE modules as heatsinks DOES NOT WORK. The net effect is the same if you just left an empty slot instead there.
Overheating itself is a nice way to "overclock" your ship for those few crucial minutes which might be all you need to stay alive.

Originally by: DTson Gauur It doesn't matter, it's been proven by testing that while heat "spreads" over time into the whole rack, in case of a single module placement is non-issue.
in that case that matters, if i place MWD LSE LSE the second LSE will get less damage.
so, if i get you right, then for a drake with MWD LSE LSE INV, WEB and DISR modules
fitting MWD LSE LSE INV WEB DISR is better than LSE MWD LSE INV WEB DISR in case of overloading MWD only as it will do less damage to all modules.
in other words you should put overloaded modules in first and last slot of your rack?
Can you link any GM post confirming this?

Edited by: Leeluvv on 10/12/2009 12:01:51 If you put an overloaded module at the end of the rack then more heat goes to the module to the side of it, as there is only 1 module that can absorb the heat.
If you put an overloaded module in between 2 slots, then both absorb the heat.
Heat will also be absorbed by modules 2 slots away, but at a much lower rate than modules next to the overloaded one.
For your example, you would want to put the MWD in the middle of the two LSEs.

not clear again. i can't find any guide how damage is distributed between modules. all just say "more distance --- less damage". can you point any guide?

is EFT wrong about overloading?
