Full Version: Heat factors

Here is a list of how hot the maps are. Hope it's useful

The number is the heat sink efficiency, so the higher the number the cooler your mech will run. I assume that its a direct correlation between the number and the amount of heatsinks a mech has (dont forget they have some built in). ie a mech with 12 heatsinks (counting internals) on Inner City (factor 1.0) builds up the same heat as a mech with 10 on River canyon (factor1.2).
Anyway here goes.

Some of those are a little surprising. Some maps that I think of as completely different from one another are only .1 apart.

It does seem that way i must admit but it's mainly due to the way people balance mechs. I know I have built laser boats before that work fine on a 1.0 map but then when I take it to a 0.9 map that 10% loss in heat efficiency takes me to a shutdown an alpha too early and makes it seem a lot hotter than it is.
