Resistances do stack, but they're capped at 95. Not sure on Emissive, though. Attack/Defense modifers are for BEAMS only. Bolts just go in a straight line, and if torps catch you they always hit.

Scanner jammers currently work on everyone. Other than that..your guess is as good as mine.

Then is there any reason to ad defensive components if jammers are more than 3 time better and use only 10kt instead of 20 for neiro nets?

The defense bonuses stack, IIRC.

But if jammer bring enemey attack to 0 (probably lower then 0?) then it seems no need in defence. And is there any confirmed data about max of emissive armor bonus...and for what damage does it apply? for any damage to any component (eg shield, hull, armor).

No way in heck will one jammer bring the enemy's attack to 0.

Would be abit silly for a game to have a jammer that does such a thing anyway

Absolutely. The jammer only works on ONE enemy ship at a time! I don't know when it got lost from the description, but originally it was clear that a scanner jammer only affects the currently targetted enemy.

I think if you do some testing you will see that ships other than the one you are currently targetting are still just as able to hit you.
