Armor question

[aegisx]

So what is the consensus on using all emmissive armor versus using 1 or 2 and the rest regular? Were designs of the latter due to the armor bug that was solved? Is there any reason not to use all emmissive (other than cost)?

[Captain Kwok]

Emissive armor doesn't really stack, but it will apply it's effect whenever an armor panel is damaged. So, if the damage is split between two emissive panels, you'll get two damage reductions. So most players will use a high percentage of emissive armor.

I'd also suggest something regenerative, such as shields or OA on top of the emissive armor.

That way you'll get an extra couple of points taken off each hit and reduce the amount that gets past the emissive ability.
