Defined in: src/ships/heat.ts:90

One enabled weapon's contribution to a build's heat.

readonly optional distributorDraw?: number

Defined in: src/ships/heat.ts:106

Weapons-capacitor draw of one discharge, in megajoules (OutfittingModule.distributorDraw). Defaults to 0.

Read together with HeatInput.weaponsCapacity to work out how much the capacitor's state amplifies the weapon's heat: a shot the capacitor cannot cover generates up to five times its thermal load.

---

readonly optional heatPerSecond?: number

Defined in: src/ships/heat.ts:96

Heat per second the weapon generates while firing, in thermal-load units. WeaponMetrics.sustainedHeatPerSecond is the figure to pass — it folds in the reloads a long engagement spends not firing. Defaults to 0.
