"crystalline armour and massive guns" - the problem is that the armour doesn't pump the shields until it is damaged (assuming it survives the damage) and since the massive phased polarons are doing 250+ the armour belt is mostly destroyed at the first volley rendering later shield augmentation mimimal. I have seen crystalline armour clad ships work well against low damage organic cannons but not against massive endgame damage.

I beg to disagree. It has been shown mathematically that unless you can deal more damage than can be pumped back in by the CA, you can NEVER hurt the CA ship!!!

Here is the thread that demonstrates it (it's the original post in the thread that you are interested in):

Hope you find the thread informative. I did.
