basic questions on armors

Also, which armor is destroyed first? EA or standard one?

Which component gets hit first is random, but based off of how many hit points each component has. Armor components with the least amount of HPs are more likely to be hit first (though not guaranteed). So, regular Armor tends to be destroyed before Emissive Armor.

Does anyone use emissive armor?

I have never used it. The Last I heard it was still broken.

Emissive armor is not broken. It was fixed a few patches ago. I use emissive armor from time to time. It can be very effective in certain circumstances.

What make you think so ? It was weak in the first Proportions, but is quite reasonable in 2.5.3 !

Oleg :
So I must have read an old readme. What should I play between AIC and prop? I thought that AIC was made to increase AI compared to prop.

JLS : Actually I play with max bonuses and advantages for the AI all the time. I find them anyway far too shy even if they have the power to bLast me too dust if they used their uber techs fleets properly. The problem which is found in many other games is : lack of focus and inability to concentrate forces adequately.

Pocus.

I think AIC may frustrate you.
The mod is just over a month old, and I would value your input, if you want to give her a try.

Proportions or TDM may be your best bet.
For a smoother game.

Besides AICs next upgrade is out in a few days.
