Emissive armour - what is it used for?

[Daynarr]

You are right. The way things are now, all armor except for the basic one are pointless.

This goes for stealth and scattering armor too. They are supposed to give you a bonus in defense, but since the effects are not cumulative with each other or with any other component that gives you same benefit (like ECM) they are completely useless. So far I use only standard armor.

Emissive could be more useful if the damage it can absorb would be greater. Like 50, 75 100 points. I am not sure if the effect is cumulative, but judging from other components it is not.

I would just lose scattering and stealth armor. Usseles and AI uses them if he researches them.
