Default Re: Simple armor question

The way I thought emissive armor worked was like this:

when the ship takes damage the emissive value reduces it
the remaining damage is applied against the structure of the armor
after destroying the first armor component the remaining damage is reduced by the emissive value of the second armor component
any remaining damage is then applied against the structure of the second armor comp
this cycles until you either run out of armor or damage

I'll go ahead and try to set up a test to find out for sure how it works and report back.
