Yep, I noticed that one as well, actually recording the 'virtual damage'
would probably get round this problem, but adds more book-keeping :-(
Yet another alternative (which I don't like that much), is to ignore any
damage on the current damage track, (or even count the ship as
undamaged) when determining the effects of EMP damage.
