- Crystalline armour is a tough nut to crack, especially for the IA. If you play your cards right, you will be immune to anything dealing 149 normal damage or less,

If you add some Emissive Armor to your 10+ Crystalline Armors, that immunity goes up to 179 damage. Not even a Heavy Mount APB XII can scratch that at range greater than 3 without getting a lucky hit on the emissive first, and APB XI needs point blank. Of course, massive mounts, armor-skipping weapons, and high damage slow firing weapons can deal with it, but it's still pretty tough and a major cost saver.
