The only balance in SEIII was that you could only put 10% of your ship's mass in the "armor" section (i.e., the part that actually got hit first). You could add armor components into the external & internal sections, but there was no guarantee they'd get hit first.

If we could enforce something similar in SE4, we might be able to balance emissive armor properly...

as far as balance goes, im probably dreaming here, but maybe having it just reduce damage by a percentage would be the best way to balance it. sounds like alot of work to recode tho.
