According to the way you described this grenade, it is more oriented VS Amarr Scrambler Rifle: they would be VERY VERY STUPID to use this grenade against Scramble Rifles...
Generally speaking, I like the idea but it should be more effective against everyone instead of a limited group of targets (RR, ScR, and cSR - which, let's face it, won't suffer any problem from this grenade: why would you sneak behind an enemy sniper just to toss against him a Thermal Grenade???)
Good point in making it effective against vehicles too, that's a use I'd take in great consideration...

If it is an AV-oriented grenade, it should have the auto-aim like the current Explosive AV grenade: if there are nearby enemy troops using a Scrambler Rifle then they shall suffer the effects too.
Archbot wrote:This grenade could {...} have a blinding effect due to its sudden burst of thermal radiation. This is an optional feature, but I'm not sure how the community would react to it since it already disables charging and overheats weapons (don't want to make it an all-purpose grenade). A blinding effect would affect anyone. The reason it also affects the charged sniper is simply because the weapon can charge, and no it's not suggested to throw this at a charged sniper user, because it's much easier to just kill him/her. Much like how it's not effective to throw a flux grenade at someone just to take out their shields, instead of using any other weapon to kill them.
The blinding effect should be definitely added, it's not something "optional"...
This grenade looks really like something the Minmatar would use against the hated Amarr Empire: to be used against ScR and LR (yeah, a weapon usually never mentioned).

@OP: Nova Knives are charged weapons too: would they be affected by your grenade?

OP, your grenade looks really like an "all-purpose" weapon, with the lack of physical damage.
While I like the idea, I think you should focus on one~two aspects, not everything...
Is the primary task to disrupt charging weapons? Or the ones with heat-sinkers?
GÇó In the first group, you can count Charged Sniper Rifles, Rail Rifles, Nova Knives, Scrambler Rifles (not the Assault model), Forgeguns and probably something else GåÆ that's a good array of weapons
GÇó In the second group, we only have Laser Rifles, Scrambler Rifles, Blaster cannons, Blaster Turrets and Antimatter Turrets (AFAIK the antimatter tank turret do not overheat, but I'm not a tank driver). GåÆ Few weapons, turrets included here
Second point: does the grenade have a secondary effect?
GÇó YES GåÆ pick one or more (do not exagerate) and decide how it works
GÇó NO GåÆ Should it deal some damage to infantry then?
Final point: is my grenade OP?
GÇó YES GåÆ remove one or more effects and/or re-evaluate the ones you added
GÇó NO GåÆ let's see what Dust players say
