No, it doesn't work that way. In said example the 200 point shot would be reduced to 180. Thus destroying 3 armor (3*50=150) and 30 damage leftover unable to destroy a forth armor.

Which essentially means, noone will ever want to put more than one EA slab onto a ship, it would be better to spend the space and resources on armor that provides more direct hp/kT.

I think reducing the EA reduction, and making it fully and completely stackable, would have been preferable (instead of three armors giving 10/20/30 emission, what about five armors giving 2/4/6/8/10 emission?).

Combined with armor-specific mounts, and "10 per ship" limits on armor, even the standard 10/20/30 EA can be made to work just fine, fully stackable.

If the EA ability can be modded to be 100% stackable, that is in fact how my mod owuld handle it. One can only hope the next patch will render "fully stackable EA" a game-setup decision, like turning Intelligence Projcects on or off is, right now.
