So, while looking into a non-canon refit of an existing WarShips design, and looking to revamp the armament from mainly NACs and missiles (with a modicum of standard-scale lasers) to mainly capital energy weapons with capital missiles, I noticed something odd: I couldn't find a single example of a WarShip refit that adds to the total number of heat sinks.
Oh, sure, I found refits that went from equal numbers of single heat sinks to double heat sinks. I found examples that went to a smaller number of double heat sinks. But I never found an example that went for a greater number of heat sinks, be it singles to singles, singles to doubles or doubles to doubles (the last of which applying to my non-canon design).
I recall heat sinks on large craft being described as more than just heat dissipation, but also representing power distribution. That's often made me wonder whether it's possible to actually increase the total number of heat sinks on a refit, or if you're basically looking at having to build a new hull from scratch at that point.
So, how about it: can anyone think of an example DropShip or WarShip that's had more heat sinks added during a refit?
