This results in sub-optimal design being forced, with some designs becoming outright un-saveable since adding more than the default heat sinks would bring it over tonnage. It also does not account for reduced pre-installed sinks for non-fusion engines, expecting at least 10 at all times. Related issue with validation expecting 10 heat sinks even for engine types that come with less than that pre-installed 02-Aug-2026 19:21 Kirbanzo Currently heat sink validation does not take into account any mandated heat sinks that are preinstalled with the engine type. This results in sub-optimal design being forced, with some designs becoming outright un-saveable since adding more than the default heat sinks would bring it over tonnage. Confirmed to be a validation issue, not just an automatic allocation issue 02-Aug-2026 19:08 Kirbanzo Currently automatic heat sink allocation does not take into account any mandated heat sinks that are pre-installed with the engine type. This results in it putting more heat sinks on combat vehicles than they need. This is obviously recoverable by simply manually choosing heat sink allocation to match what is needed for the design, but this does mean automatic heat sink allocation currently forces suboptimal design. Initial Entry Edit Date Member Date Value Reason for Change 02-Aug-2026 19:31 Kirbanzo For the main issue: 1. Create new Combat Vehicle with fusion engine 2. Add a weapon that produces waste heat For the issue with not taking into account reduced pre-installed heat sinks, simply create a new Combat Vehicle with anon-fusion engine. Related issue with validation expecting 10 heat sinks even for engine types that come with less than that pre-installed 02-Aug-2026 19:21 Kirbanzo 1. Create new Combat Vehicle that doesn't use ICE (use fusion engines for most obvious demonstration) 2. Add a weapon that produces waste heat Confirmed to be a validation issue, not just an automatic allocation issue 02-Aug-2026 19:08 Kirbanzo 1. Create new Combat Vehicle that doesn't use ICE (use fusion engines for most obvious demonstration) 2. Make sure automatic heat sink allocation is on 3. Add a weapon that produces waste heat Initial Entry Edit Date Member Date Value Reason for Change Edit Date Member Date Value Reason for Change
