For this option, there should also be a message indicating when weapons are completely cooled down.4. firing an overheated weapon causes them to randomly dump heat into your other subsystems which will begin exploding violently. Also add the ability to emergency eject systems from within the pod. Like you keep firing the guns and your comm system starts cooking so you have to eject it manually and get the hell away from it so that it won't shred your pod. Eventually there's nowhere for the heat to go other than the engine which cannot be ejected and destroys you and the pod in a glorious blast of nuclear fire.
this would prevent the current dumb thing of just sitting in one spot and creating a dumb wall of lasers that lasts as long as you have nothing better to do with your life than hit the fire weapons button, while also adding cool explosions and the ability to use vital chunks of your pod as unreliable makeshift explosives if you're a fucking lunatic
