I hate those ships. Controls get overloaded with heat, and because of it, it's like your foot in pressing the gas pedal to full.

No, that's a fault of the ship. If it gains too much heat, then the engine goes berserk. Every Elite pilot knows how to handle their ship, Imperial Couriers are sported to have the best power management system, but their dwarfed in combat by the Vulture.
