With the new mount capabilities and Emissive Armor finally working like it did in SE III (damage is subtracted before being applied to the armor even if the damage is greater than the Emissive ability) we've got a vastly more interesting combat system in this patch.

Some questions, on the off-chance someone among the beta test group might know the answers:

Is the Emissive Armor ability stackable with itself, in teh manner that Crystalline Armor and Organic Armor works better and better the more of it you appky to a ship?

If so ... *shudder* ... Starbases with 100 Emissive Armor III's (leaving 1500kT for their own equipment) ... the first 2000 damage goes away ... ?!?

Also, is the Emissive Armor's ability in teh patch going to be per ATTACK, or per COMBAT TURN?
