Heatsink: Good or Bad?
Indreams:
Heatsink application:
Pyramidion side-guns, Goldfish side-guns, Galleon aft-gun, and Squid aft-gun.
These are the secondary guns. No one starts combat on these guns, and no one really pay attention to them until they need them. And many times, they are left out of chemcycles.
And when you need them, they mean the difference between life-and-death.
Keep these guns loaded with Heatsink. Keep them from catching fire, and they will often be alive when you need them. If these guns are flamethrowers, light carronades, or gatling, they will have the advantage of increased clip.
Heatsink on your guns, save your life.

Well just reading the first post on this thread, if you are an engie heatsink is useless because you can just use chem spray to prevent fire stacks on guns. In terms of fire fighting it is often used by gunners using heavy guns to prevent major fire stacks, aswell as lowering arming time to make it easier to shoot close range shots

Heatsink is definitely not useless to engineers! It decreases projectile speed, which is helpful for weapons with arming time, and gives you hella shots because it increases your clip more than any other ammo type.

And as recommended by Mercantile Guild's Heatsink Factory, I found that heatsinked side/aft-guns become one less problem for Engineers who can than focus on Hull and Engines.
And I don't know how this is, but I find that Heatsinked guns magically stay alive better than their non-heatsinked counterparts.

Those effects of heatsink though are secondary to its main job as a "firefighter" which can be replaced by a chem spray because if the gun is close enough for you to use regularly in a match, then its close enough to chem spray. Also as engie I never see people bring only heatsink as their one ammo, I see it with gunners because gunners have no extinguishes and it helps with shooting close range on weapons with arming time, but it doesn't seem to do something that greased or incid can't in terms of secondary effects
