The in game description of emissive armor isn't quite accurate. Hits for 30 damage or less are indeed completely negated, but hits for more than 30 damage get reduced by 30 as well. It only works against shots that hit the hull, but when you're dealing with ship sizes that can't really spare the room for shields it's really nice when a 60 damage hit gets reduced to 30.
