If I put in a design 3 armored structures of the same kind that negates 3 damage per shot each will I get a total 9 damage negated?

No. Emmisive armor abilities do not stack. Only crystalline and organic abilities stack.

Wait wait, this one is just the regular armor in Proportions, Armored Structure III, and it says that it deflects 3 damage per shot.

Yeah, PvK has smeared the emissive ability all over the armour techs. I kinda like it this way. For the highest emmissive abilities, put in some of that armour that requires scaling.

I'd be interested to hear from players who have tried a Temporal empire in Proportions

I guess what I'm trying to say is that temporal yards don't seem to be over-powerful, imho. PvK:

I agree with dogscoff; the guys that play Temporal in our LAN group also don't put much stock in the Temporal Yard Facility with the exception of just building it at the Home World.

So you are saying that its pointless to have more than one armor structure?
I was using the scaled Armor Plating II and 3 armor structures.....
What if I put one Armor Structure III, one Advanced Armor Structure II and one Ultra Armor Structure II?
Will they stack?

I can't say for sure but I'm pretty sure there will be no stacking at all under any circumstances. The highest available value is used.

This means the optimal design would be one "scaled armour" (can't remember the proper name) and a bunch of armoured structures. The armoured structures will take damage first (usually, since they have the higher damage resistance) and benefit from the emmissive value of the scaled armour. That will make for a damn tough ship. The only reason to have >1 scaled armour is as a backup, in case the first gets wasted by a lucky hit.

Yes, there is no stacking from different types of components. The highest value is still in Emmisive armour. You may want to have one in addition to internal armours.
