Default Re: Question...

I don't think emissive armor stacks. It actually seems to be quite worthless...

I did a simulation of a ship with a bunch of Emissive Armor III (30 pt resistance), vs a bunch of fighters, all armed with a 15 pt and a 10 pt damage weapon. (25 total damage pts)

Using a single fighter, it didn't do any damage to the ship's armor. But when I had a group of those fighters, and made them attack from a range where only the 15 point weapon would fire, they easily damaged and destroyed the ship, as if all the separate 15 point attacks were one combined high-damage attack.

So unless your enemy is only attacking you with Groups of single fighters, emissive armor is pretty much worthless, unfortunately.
