Emissive Armor Still not working in Demo

If I recall right, each piece of Emissive armor negates only a set amount of damage; Lets say level 1 Emissive negates 20kt damage, you have 1200kt worth of protection with this armor - a weapon hits for 500kt of damage - that means that armor will be destroyed that the damage overrides (21kt of damage / armor part until the 500kt is distributed). Some pieces of armor that did not get more than 20kt of damage will negate that damage and you will have more armor survive a fight than if using standard Armor.

Does that make sense? I believe that that is the way it works.

Anyone feel free to correct me if I am thinking wrongly.

I am pretty sure that is the way it works. The best way to check would be to create a ship with 2 parts of Emissive armor and a ship with enough weaponry to do less than the max protection of the armor (so say if it is like my example and each piece provites 20kt worth of protection, hit it with something that does less than 40kt of damage). If you still have 1 armor piece left afterwards then I am correct, if not then I am sure someone else here on the boards will pipe up soon.

In SE:IV, emissive armor reduced damage by the amount on a single piece of emissive armor, so 50 point absorbtion would take 70 damage down to 20.

I prefered how it worked in Star Fury, however. Emissive armor in that game reduced damage by a certain perctange, rather than an amount. Seemed less buggy.

Kenquinnn -

That sounds about right - it does it in sequential order I am thinking. Any damage exceeding the negating ability automatically is applied to the armor strength and then carried over to the other pieces until all damage is dealth out.
