EVE Turns Up the Heat



We bring you the latest from EVE FanFest 2007 with this look at the
recently implemented Heat mechanic, which allows players to overclock
ship modules while risking heat damage. Learn how to turn up the heat
on your ship's loadout without getting burned and hear about some of
the exciting changes coming to the Heat system in the coming months.


Kristinn "Tuxford" Sigurbergsson is the man responsible for turning
up the Heat in EVE
Online, and he and CCP working to improve this underused game mechanic.
Heat, a system designed to allow more advanced players to essentially
overclock modules for greater performance at the risk of a random
assessment of damage due to cumulative heat, has gotten very mixed
reviews from EVE players. At present, players can only repair heat
damage by docking at a station – impractical especially for players
doing the dirty work deep in null sec. With the stipulation that
nothing's been decided on yet, Tuxford presented a series of changes are coming that may make Heat a more attractive
option for all players.
