The only balance in SEIII was that you could only put 10% of your ship's mass in the "armor" section (i.e., the part that actually got hit first). You could add armor components into the external & internal sections, but there was no guarantee they'd get hit first.

If we could enforce something similar in SE4, we might be able to balance emissive armor properly...
