thinking: OA vs CA

[Taera]

There is the post Game Styles and it made me think. (hey, its my post, i can think as much as i want!)
When Organic Armor is compared to Crystalline armor, which is actually better?
So lets review the statistics.
Similar research costs, similar protection ration, similar size.
Organic costs organics, but then crystalline armor is only 70 (!) minerals and rads at level 3.
Organic is only useful when you have more than one. It only regenerates if there is another armor available. It also does no longer have the cancerous growth.
Crystalline armor does not regenerate but given a single shield component on the ship would give 15 points of damage off per armor component as long as there are shields and armor of this type available.

Lets summarize.
A ship with two armors. Organic ones:
One is destroyed and begins to regenerate. In the couple next turns the second one would be probably dead, too. OTOH it can regenerate armor without need to repair.
Crystalline ones:
Each hit is 30 point of damage off. Each, untill armor is gone, providing effective Emmisive Armor effect and distracting the fire of shield depleters sometimes. It requies repair after destroyed.

Anyone else is thinking now?
