Default Re: Emissive Armor

No, if I understood B. Munch. correctly, emissive armor mixed with regular armor will only reflect damage away if it gets hit. It's not like a mini-shield. One piece of emissive doesn't make the whole ship emissive. So if you have 9 regular armors and 1 emissive, the emissive will only protect you 1/10 of the time, on average. As the British say, "In for a penny, in for a pound." Either use just emissive or don't use it at all.
