If you have a shield depleter as first weapon and the shard cannon as secondary weapon you might change your mind.
No, I won't change my mind. What difference does that make If I am an organic race using shields on my ships than if I am a standard race using shields? And if you use up space for shield depleters, then you'll be able to do even less physical damage. Meanwhile, with my organic weapons, I can build 20-30% more ships than you, thereby overwhelming the under-powered crystalline weapons.
