Questions, part 3

[Silent Sorrow]

Thanks. Couple things, though.

Emissive armour: Since it doesn't stack as I'd hoped, what is the point of it? After all, even the most basic weapon in SE--the DUC I--does more than 10 damage in one shot. Or am I missing something?

Also, I'm not quite sure I follow your description. Are you saying that if I put on, say, one emissive armour and three regular armours, the latter will behave as if they were also emissive?

If a component (let's say one of my propulsion engines) has a resistance of 20KT that means it can take 20 points of damage, right? But if there's emissive armour valued at 10, that propulsion will actually be able to withstand 30?

Population growth: When I Last used pacification centres I don't recall that they significantly increased population growth (though everyone was jubilant). Can you quantify the difference for me? Are they really worth it? Because my feeling is that I shouldn't bother.
