Defined in: src/ships/heat.ts:216

A build's heat: what the plant and the hull make of each other, and what the build runs at stowed, flying, jumping and firing.

Frozen — nested records and lists included — so a result can be held, cached and shared without a defensive copy. Derive a changed figure with a spread rather than by assigning into one.

readonly firingDrained: HeatState

Defined in: src/ships/heat.ts:238

The same with the weapons capacitor drained — the alpha-strike case, where each weapon makes five times its thermal load.

---

readonly firingSustained: HeatState

Defined in: src/ships/heat.ts:233

Hardpoints out and every enabled weapon firing continuously, reloads folded in, with the weapons capacitor keeping up.

---

readonly fsdCharging: HeatState

Defined in: src/ships/heat.ts:228

Charging a jump: thrusters plus the frame shift drive's spool-up.

---

readonly heatEfficiency: number

Defined in: src/ships/heat.ts:218

The fitted plant's heat efficiency, post-engineering.

---

readonly hullHeatCapacity: number

Defined in: src/ships/heat.ts:220

The hull's heat capacity — its thermal inertia.

---

readonly hullHeatDissipation: number

Defined in: src/ships/heat.ts:222

The hull's maximum heat dissipation, in thermal-load units per second.

---

readonly idle: HeatState

Defined in: src/ships/heat.ts:224

Hardpoints stowed, throttle closed — the figure a ship sits at doing nothing.

---

readonly thrusters: HeatState

Defined in: src/ships/heat.ts:226

Stowed and flat out: idle plus the thrusters at top speed.
