Additional thermal conduits and radiator solutions integrated across the module help balance thermal load increase cooling potential at the cost of slight mass increase.
— In-Game Description
Thermal Spread is an Experimental Effect that can be applied to modules through Engineering. For Frame Shift Drives and Thrusters it decreases thermal load whereas for Power Plants it lowers the heat efficiency value. The net effect for all is a lower heat generation.
This upgrade is useful for Silent Running builds, ships with heat problems, and explorers prone to overheating during fuel scooping.
Applicability[]
This effect is available for the following modules:
