ships.Interface.HeatWeapon

@elite-dangerous-almanac/core / ships / HeatWeapon

Interface: HeatWeapon

Defined in: src/ships/heat.ts:88

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

Properties

distributorDraw?

readonly optional distributorDraw?: number

Defined in: src/ships/heat.ts:104

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

Remarks

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.

---

heatPerSecond?

readonly optional heatPerSecond?: number

Defined in: src/ships/heat.ts:94

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.
