Hey guys. I'm stuck on a design problem that seems to go right over my head. Essentially the output of the radiator cooling a battery of lasers on my Crater Class ships is so high that it's causing the battery to overheat. Can anyone help with the calculation for how far away I need to position my radiators so that they won't overheat the laser battery by radiating into it?

What? This is an actual thing? How? I've never had a problem with radiators overheating nearby components, even at 2500k. Do you mean interreflection?

the game only needs you to radiate the heat from one laser before it stops throwing a red error

To expend on Enderminion 's reply, if you want all your lasers to fire continuously, you need a radiator or a set of radiators able to dump the combined heat of all of them.

To expand on what Argopeilacos said, the game only tells you the heat for one laser, mulitply by the number of lasers of that type (lasers not turrets) to get the right amount of heat
