Default Re: Emmisive Armor for Dummies, please...

"That's why you need to make it fairly expensive to research. There has to be a point where certain weapons become obsolete, doesn't there? Would an 18th century brass cannon be any use against a modern warship?"

Yes, but you can stick a weapon capable of damaging a large warship on a small one; in SE4 you *can't* do that without researching an entirely different weapons chain. 100 emissive ability on armor would FORCE players to A. use dreadnoughts or above or B. use wave-motion guns. Those are the *only* options, and that's kind of ridiclous.
