In case you were wondering what I used to disprove my previous thought, it was a base ship with a Master Computer III, one piece of Armor I and 147 pieces of Armor III. A single hit from an DUCIII failed to kill the single piece of Armor I as I had said.

Back to the testing board.

But I did like the way you presented it... It was very clear, even if your testing should require amending it.

I have often requested a 'total' limit on Emissive Armor to go with the 'per hit' limit. Once the 'total' damage per combat round limit was exceeded the Emissive Armor would start to take damage from smaller weapons anyway. That way, you could set the 'per hit' limit very high and not be completely 'immune' to lower damage weapons.
