As Oerjan posted, the EMP Batteries as posted on the ORC Beta page do
not
change due to damage row and are only determined by the hits rolled by
the
EMP Battery.

Before the EMP Battery rules, I was using some Ion Cannon rules that did
roll threshold based on damage row, but those old Ion Cannon rules also
were
different in that each 'hit' rolled was a system that was lost.  The new
EMP
Battery rules are different and I think better so I suggest you use
those
instead, even if you are using some of my old Sci-Fi Crossover SSDs that
had
the old Ion Cannon rules on them.
