Crystal (Weapons)

Crystal weapons fire shards of crystal that pierce one layer of shield, going straight through it to damage systems, hull, and crew. When a ship has multiple shield layers, a crystal shard will deplete a layer instead (just like a laser).

Crystal shards can be shot down by defence drones (mark I and II).

These weapons can only be found in the hidden Crystal sector, or by playing as the Crystal Cruiser Type A or Rock Cruiser Type C.
