Question about armor plating.. |
the third type of armor, the black one that "negates any damage under Xkt".. is it treated like an arbritrary defense like if if negates 7kt and a 6 kt gun hit it, it does nothing. But if 8kt, 8 kt damage passes?
Or is it some sort of damage reduction? 8 - 7armor = 1kt damage?
And unlike other type of armor... it doesnt say that only a single set of this armor is effective on a ship.. so is there a way to make sure its the last thing to get destroyed or is it random about what plating is destroyed first?
Re: Question about armor plating..
Does it stack ? or does it any difference if there is all emmissive armor instead of normal armor ?

no stacking. Damage is reduced only if the weapon hits that plate of armor.
For example, you have both:
Emmissive with -9 damage
regular armor
now you get hit for 10 damage.
if it hits the emmisive, then (10-9)=1 damage done to your emmisive armor.
If it hits the other armor, it does 10 damage. Since regular armor has no reduction ability.
Re: Question about armor plating..
Okay, so it still makes sense to use only emmisive armor 
and maybe some stealth plating

Re: Question about armor plating..
Better to use only one type at a time to avoid confusion.
Re: Question about armor plating..
Emissive Armor reduces the amount of damage. Damage to armor is applied in the order that armor is placed. To get the most of your Emissive Armor, you should place it before other armors.
