Emmisive Armor for Dummies, please...

Looks like someone could exploit it with a few weak weapons added to the front of their ships firing order. It could become more effective then engine damage weapons, after the armor and shields are gone.

If that turns out to be true, Null-Space on Normal mounts could be really good against large ships. Ignores large+ mounted weapons and takes out critical little stuff (Bridge, Crew, Computer, Life Support, ECM, Sensors, Talisman!, Shield Generators, etc. And Crystalline races could use Shard Cannons to pick off these important components as well.

In prior Versions, I am pretty sure I have seen Colonizers take no damage from a hit, presumably because the 150 KT Colony module was hit. However, it may have just been a Ram attack and not a weapon hit, which should take out something else.
