Default Re: Emissive Armor?

I think what Asmala was saying is that:

100 damage is hit
It hits a 1kt armor and now you apply 99 more damage.
It hits a 1kt armor and now you apply 98 more damage.
Repeat that 15 times
83 damage left
Now instead of hitting one of the psuedo armors it hits a weapon and does 20kt damage and destroys it.
63 damage left.
Repeat.


For 1kt armors you have more to hit calcs for the components. So while more 1kt armors are hit the chances of larger non-armors getting hit is increased.

For the 7kt you have less to hit calcs since each one eats up more of the damage and reduces it faster. So less total number of chances of it hitting a none armor.

Hrmm... I wonder if that was any better of an explanation...
