But Ed....

I am a bit unclear what the issue is about the shields?

All units treat shields as a part of their hit points, not actually as shields.

High-tech drones with lots of defense bonus and structure can be ... consequential. I have a few uses for drones. ;-)

Emissive Armor III makes Drones fairly hard to kill with PDC alone (except with hideous numbers of PDC of course). Yes, even just a single component.

As far as I know emissive armor does not work on units. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Troops can have emissive armor, so hopefully they at least work on some units. Don't know about drones, however.

Since units are just a damange point total, does the brokenness of emissive armor not apply to them?
