[Paladin]

I didin't forget the anti-shield (wich is a good thing, if only the AI could be better ;-) The point is that Crsystal Armor regenerates the shield BEFORE any damage is applied to the internal structure...

Fortunately, there are always ways to deal with this, but it's kind of lame to have Heavy weapons (Light cruiser or better) to destroy a single frigate equipped with Crystaline Armor...

And then There's always the Psychics...
