How to make emissive armor useful again

[Ed Kolis]

OK, since I don't seem to have the energy to actually work on my own mod, I'll just sit around and throw out ideas to anyone who wants to incorporate them into their mod:

You know how emissive armor becomes useless because of weapon mounts, and that it can't be fixed by emissive armor mounts that increase the armor's emissive rating because mounts can't do that? Well, we can fix that! How? Well, just do what you did before you had mounts to mess with - make up more components! Take a look at this:

20 kT Emissive Armor, 30/40/50 HP, 10/20/30 emissive
80 kT Heavy Emissive Armor, 120/160/200 HP, 20/40/60 emissive
320 kT Ultra Emissive Armor, 480/640/800 HP, 30/60/90 emissive

Fiddle with the numbers however you want, of course, but the idea is simple - if you want lots of emissive ability to block those Heavy Mount weapons, you'll have to sacrifice a lot of space in your ship to get it!
