Why was my heat sink deployed?

Postby Myrm » Sun Jun 12, 2016 1:46 pm

KK, I'm in outer space, not near a sun when suddenly my heat sink deployed. I thought these were trigger manually. Why would mine have suddenly deployed? I had no heat warnings. :o

Cause sometimes weird shit happens.

Do you have voice attack?
It can (and does to me) sometimes pick up unintended noises that trigger a command.

Rule 1: Pillage. Then burn.
Rule 2: No such thing as overkill, as long as there are reloads.

Yeah Voice activated, or accidentally pressed the Heat Sink Key or fire group button. I have secondary fire group assignments; Advanced Scanner, Missiles, Chaff etc.

I have had one deploy automatically, but then I was at about 200% heat at the time!

It's happened to me too but I also am using Voice Attack. I ended up making my commands very specific sounding for each function and it seems to have solved the problem. I do, however, remember that Chaff would get launched some time back when I wasn't using VA.
