Now isn't it true that Emissive Armor applies its emissive ability to any component, in other words if you have 1 emissive armor and 50 regular components/armors, and one of the other components happens to get hit (maybe it was an armor piercing weapon) then it still emisses the damage? I ask this because I'm modding an emissive shield generator that has no "Armor gets hit first" ability and without the ability to transfer its emissive ability the "shield" would be useless.

Yes, EA works regardless what component, armor or not is hit. Read about my tests in "emissive armor" thread. In fact, proportions' EA is exactly what you are modding - emissive shield generator. There is a trick though - armour piercing weapons, like shard cannons and null-space do not triger EA ability at all. Even if EA is no longer armor.
