Default Re: Emmisive Armor for Dummies, please...

I have started using Emissive so I want to make sure I understand it right.

Em Armor III has 50 structure and negates 30 damage from EACH hit.

So in the worse case on the first hit your em armor gets wiped out right away and its a wash because two Armor IIIs have eighty structure points equal to the 50 + 30 from the em.

If the em survives however then it negates another 30 points on the next hit so effectively you've just added 30 armor (or emissiveness) to your defense.

So if you can afford it emissive armor is much better than regular armor.

Also I haven't tested but I thought fighters now shoot individually instead of as a stack - is that true?

Please clarify
