	Q: Should heat affect how "stealthy" the ship is? Like in Elite Dangerous, once can adjust how much heat is vented out (or continously produced) by making the ship invisible on scanners.

		+	Q: (nozmajner) Should it be treated as effectiveness stat for each equiment? Like they pick up a certain amount of charge, and convert a given percent of it to heat. And there could be parts with different effectiveness available to fit. (This could even be procedurally generated?)

	Option 2: Damage distributed based on the direction or overall area of the ship (shot in the butt would be always more likely to damage propulsion, or something like that). Front/Rear directional damage might be simple enough to work, it would reward positioning yourself behind an opponent (presumably challenging since they are trying to face and shoot you). "Space backstab".		Option 2: Damage distributed based on the direction or overall area of the ship (shot in the butt would be always more likely to damage propulsion, or something like that).

		+	Note (by nozmajner):It's not that hard to put in some simple, properly named collision geometry for part damage.
		+	Like: [[File:Mola_explan.jpg\|center\|400px]], but even more simpler. Say an hour per ship or so I think, but that's a conservative guess.
