Agree, I can't see it in the history... but think it was when the Ionic Disperser was fixed.[/QB]

But WHY did he do it ?? I never saw anyone complaining about 
How about Mental Flair, is it affected too ?

Re: Crystallurgy - in general and in DevNull
Taera... so Crystal and Religious you think are the most over-balanced?
How would you fight against someone with both traits? 
(aside from trying to kill them early which is obvious

He just mentioned ID for time reference. He was talking about the change to the Energy Dampener. |

Re: Crystallurgy - in general and in DevNull
Cirvol - well, theres only one way - outrange them. Because Chant Crystal has a low range and Crystal Shard doesnt skip shields, and has rather low damage. The point is though that even that chant crystal doesnt do that much damage.
However, a religious/crystal race could be quite devastating because of the economy bonuses overlaps - -30% maintenance, plus time and nature shrines, plus solar collectors...
I still think its a fair thing for 3k cost.
Fyron - what was the change?

Re: Crystallurgy - in general and in DevNull
all special weapons skip all shields and all armor. this excludes ID because it was a ship-killer before. And ID is a special case.
