EM's 2% readiness reduction and minimal force reduction may have some utility in a situation where forces are closely matched
so here is a different question and proposal

do EMs on EE result in DR?
i know they did on Earth2025 i learned that the hard way when hitting a big money lurker
as long as EMs produce DR they are actually counterproductive to yield when used prior to an LG
if EMs are not counted in DR then they have some marginal usefulness
please consider making EMs more useful in individual games

thanks for your consideration
