thermal capacity in shipyard data is not the same of tested thermal capacity #2

as in this thread, every ship thermal capacity can be calculated , measuring the amount of time to increase from 0% thermal load to 100% thermal load using the formula heat produced = pp efficiency * MW being consumed.

The cooling function is pinned down in the thread too:

y = -.2x2

seems to fix extremely well, where x is the current heat percentage (.5 = 50%), and y is the % max heat cooling rate (-.02 = -2% per second). Cooling follows this formula very closely until the temperature reaches ~66%, at which point the cooling rate caps out at -8.7% per second."


after review of some ships in the shipyard, i can notice that the thermal capacity stored in the database is not the same of the thermal capacity found with in game tests, and i cannot understand how is calculated the Min Heat Dissipation and Max Heat Dissipation

maybe more research in the shipyard code has to be done about this topic.
