...and, since by the time Emissive III comes around practically all weapons in use will be doing more than 30 pts (Including fighter stacks! At least as of the first patch [haven't tested in the second], each volley counts as one BIG attack), it appears to be completely useless.

The small variant appears to be just as useless (3 pts. Hrm. There aren't that many weapons which do less than 4 pts of damage...).

You may still want to research the tree, however, even if you have organic or crystalline, to get the Stealth and/or Scattering armor, for one piece per ship.
