FTL: Faster Than Light Wiki

Crystal weapons shoot shards of crystal that pierce one shield layer and deal damage to systems, hull, crew. When a ship has multiple shield layers, a crystal shard will deplete a layer (just like a laser projectile).

Crystal shards can be shot down by Defense Drones (Mark I and Mark II). Zoltan Shields block crystal shards but take damage from them.

These weapons can only be found in the Hidden Crystal Worlds sector, or by playing with Crystal A or Rock C ships.
