Inspecting the Thargoid Caustic Generators

These observation were made on the 09/12/3308.Thargoid Caustic Generators are heat based mines. The heat of the current flying ship determines how close you can get to those mines before they gonna detect you and explode, which will cause a ~3Km caustic cloud and a knockback.
From my researches that have been made in a Krait MK II and an Imperial Clipper, I found out that a heat signature of <18% will be enough to take probes. My Krait MK II idles around 19% making it more visible to the mine but still possible to observed when not too close. <20% heat and seem to "attract" the mines more. In silent running I heated up my ship to ~200% and released silent running, causing two mines to trigger that were far away from me.
Low heat running:
High heat running:
19% can cause to explode:
