brianeyci, be grateful that your opponent doesn't use more than 10 crystalline armor. According to my calculations, best effect is got with 11 crystalline armor and those over that are reserve when one gets broken. Best result I have gotten is with 11 crystal armor and 1 phased shield max level.

I've tried putting lots of crystalline armor on my ships, and indeed it makes them a lot tougher. This ship design works well! It seems that crystalline armor is much better than organic armor, is that right?

Why is 11 crystalline armors better than 10?
