Perhaps you should not be so quick to accuse others of not understanding EMP.
Tia is right, the Demeter is too easily hugged. However, his (implied) analysis of the problem is incorrect, and hence his proposed solution is wrong. The problem is not that the ERes on the Demeter is too low. It's that the Demeter is too expensive. The ship should be more in line with other Ter De ships.
In fact, pod ERes in general could use a bit more work. The ERes of a pod should be roughly in between that of its escorts. This ensures that you can't just send a few EMP ships to completely stop a much larger fleet, and also that you don't have to massively overkill with EMP to stop the last few pods from getting through. In that light, the current pod ERes (and cost!) numbers could use another going over.
I also note that Zik De, Zik Cr and Etd Fr combat ships all have the same ERes. Not necessarily harmful, but prehaps a little boring. -1 to the small ones, +1 to the big ones, problem solved.
