Perhaps somebody should make a little graphical CA simulator http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Yes. That would help. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

What the hell is a CA?

Re: Simple armor question
 

Crystalline Armor.

The "Dubious Strategy Guide" has a really good armor discussion. This guide has a really good example of how CA works. There are small parts of it that have been made obsolete by patches. Most notably the pre-regeneration of organic armor has been patched out.

Ok, I feel a bit better now. I really thought I was asking a stupid question, but I see now that , welll, Crystalline and other armor types really are confusing...

The only stupid question is the one that is not asked.

Re: Simple armor question
 

Thanks for the explaination. I was never very clear on how emissive armor works exactly. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/smile.gif

...does the emissive armor work on fighters? What happens if you shoot at a stack of fighters with emissive armor? I guess the number of fighters destroyed by the shot is equal to the damage of the shot divided by the (structure of each fighter plus the emissive ability per fighter)?

Re: Simple armor question
 

I do not believe that EA and CA abilities work on units of any sort.
