I cannot figure if this is a bug or how it’s meant to work…
You can dock up at a player owned station with your weapons on overheat, and undock and they are still on overheat…unlike at NPC stations.
The problem is, if you dock up at a player station with weapons on overheat and go into fittings, your basic ship DPS, i.e prior to ‘Simulate’, shows the DPS with the weapons overheated. If you go into ‘Simulate’ your displayed DPS actually falls…because simulate does not show overheat unless asked to.
To me this seems like a bug, and the display should be the same at a player station as it would be at an NPC station…for the sake of consistency.
