Reducing damage by X percent is the Damper Field from MOO. I've asked MM to implement that many times.
Ok, I see what SJ was pointing out then. Yes, the damage that over-rides the EA rating doesn't get reduced but carries through 100 percent. This is the bug I was complaining about.
If EA really absorbed the rated damage it would then make torpedos and other high-damage but low fire-rate weapons much more valuable again.
As for the topic drift, Tenryu, we're still on topic. I started the thread on the effects of range attenuation. Emissive Armor is deeply entwined with the issue of range attenuation. It was Emissive Armor that made torpedos really useful in SE III. Now that beam weapons are so strong in SE IV the torpedo is far less important...
