Perhaps somebody should make a little graphical CA simulator

Yes. That would help.

What the hell is a CA?

Crystalline Armor.

The "Dubious Strategy Guide" has a really good armor discussion. This guide has a really good example of how CA works. There are small parts of it that have been made obsolete by patches. Most notably the pre-regeneration of organic armor has been patched out.

Ok, I feel a bit better now. I really thought I was asking a stupid question, but I see now that , welll, Crystalline and other armor types really are confusing...

The only stupid question is the one that is not asked.

Thanks for the explaination. I was never very clear on how emissive armor works exactly.

...does the emissive armor work on fighters? What happens if you shoot at a stack of fighters with emissive armor? I guess the number of fighters destroyed by the shot is equal to the damage of the shot divided by the (structure of each fighter plus the emissive ability per fighter)?

I do not believe that EA and CA abilities work on units of any sort.
