I finally thought of a use for drones!

[Q]

Troops can have emissive armor, so hopefully they at least work on some units. Don't know about drones, however.

Since units are just a damange point total, does the brokenness of emissive armor not apply to them?

That is exactely the point: for SE combat calculation units do not have shields or armor but they just have a total of xx hit points. You can put emissive armor on troops fighters, weapon platforms, sats, drones and they will add to the total damage resistence but the emissive ability will not work as far as I know.
