Heat Sink Armor (Passive Radiators)
Adds heat sink armor to the game
…
Parts radiate heat passively. All armor parts except triangle and hybrid triangle.
Parts connect to heat pipes, heat producers and to each other.
…
They store small amount of heat and then radiate it. Parts glow randomly, as network selects radiator based on some esoteric workings, giving this cool light show to your ship.
Main idea is that these things can be build and connected to provide large, passive heat dispersion when employed in numbers.
Tech requires basic heat management to be purchased first, parts are under Thermal menu.
Recommend using it along this mod:
2x HP fo Vanilla Armor
as this changes armor for AI and makes combat less of a "who hits first" and "who can target weak points".

Feel free to reupload if game version changes and I’m not around to fix them.
// Notes:
Graphics sources included (.pdn), rules files have comments related to what does what for passive heat radiation. May be helpful for some people.
// TODO:
– List stats and provide better screenshots. – done
– Clean up 2×1 armor piece graphics (make radiator smaller) – done
– Clean up connection pipes (make them smaller) – this is pointless, disabling them
– Possibly add a very expensive Mk2 version with half the weight, 6 or 8 hp of vanilla.
