[edit] First 5 Turns

Since the game has to take into account different host settings whereas the players may not start with a homeworld; rather, a bunch a ships only to colonize with, the Crystals have the HD Delta of any planet that they have more than 10,000 colonists on changed to 5 and the HD stress increased by 200 if it is less than 300. Note: This will change the planet if you create a new base there by turn 5.

[edit] Natives

Crystals are not attacked by Amorphous Worms natives that reside on a planet.
Siliconoid natives produce free ordnance for Crystals. Every 50 Siliconoids on a Crystal owned planet will produce 1 new ordnance unit per turn.
Siliconoid natives join Crystal bases faster than normal. Formula: (((PSI * 3) / 500) * 100)%

[edit] Immunity

Immune to the Cyborg assimilation.
Immune to the Solar Gamma Ray.
Immune to the Robot's Insectoid Nest.

Crystals only grow only on very hot planets:

[edit] Special

Crystal ship hulls cannot be produced by non-Crystal races. Crystal ship hull plans cannot be owned by non-Crystal races.
Crystals cannot build alien hulls from hull plans.
Crystal are the only race that can have Solorian hull without taking damage every turn. The reverse is not true, Solorian take damage when owning a Crystal hull. (tested Host 211)
The shielding on their ships takes half damage from energy weapons, but triple damage from ordnance based weapons. The act of absorbing energy weapons on Crystal shields helps charge the ship's weapons.
When a Boarding Laser is used against a Crystal, no damage will be done to the hull and no personnel will be killed by the boarding laser. However it will still enable the attacker to board the ship.
Immune to the small weapon Disrupter "extra kill bonus".
Any Crystal-owned ships cannot be affected by Web Minefields (by passing through them or having them detonated upon them). This includes Crystal-owned alien hulls, and enemy Crystals. Crystal ships that have been captured by non-Crystal players are not immune to webs in any way.

[edit] October 7, 2008

[edit] What is new in Host.exe Version 4.000.213t

Fixed: Upon web minefield detonation, docked wings are not subject to loss of ability to move.

[edit] Sep 22, 2008

[edit] What is new in Host.exe Version 4.000.213o

Fixed: X Field being used by a Solorian player that captures an enemy ship will have its fuel set to 0.

Changed: Solorian Stellar Matter Launcher with X Field will only take effect once per SML shot.

Changed: When the ship repair was changed from sometime after movement until after all damage effects were completed, this allowed web minefield detonations and X Field to become much more powerful. You were able to apply all repair units that you had to engine repair before X Field attempted to capture a ship. Thus, X Field capturing of ships has been toned down a bit. The first captured ship is at the normal 50%, but each successful capture after that will decrease the chance by 10%.

Changed: X Field ship log will not report the name or ID # of a ship that it cannot detect. This process will also only work on ships that you have a scan of. The X Field ship must have more than 10 crew available and it will send 10 crew to the captured ship.

[edit] Jul 16, 2008

[edit] What is new in Host.exe Version 4.000.213j

Fixed: Ships destroyed by moving through and hitting gravitonic/web minefields should provide a proper destruction player message.

Fixed: Ships with 100% hull or engine damage from moving through web minefields will stop.

Fixed: Filtered out excessive web minefield hit messages when the ship has already been destroyed or stopped.

[edit] Jul 16, 2008

[edit] What is new in Host.exe Version 4.000.213i

Fixed: When calculating growth, Crystal bases with less than 99 climate no longer halves the growth bonuses (military stance and tank-o-tronics).

Fixed: Issue with a ship with over 500 hull mass becoming immune to all minefields after hitting a Web minefield and continuing to move through it.

[edit] May 01, 2008

[edit] What is new in Host.exe Version 4.000.213f

Changed: Global Warmer, Global Icer, and Crystal Inferno Device require less than 60% control system, less than 80% hull damage and crew on board to operate.

[edit] April 24, 2008

[edit] February 11st, 2008

[edit] What is new in Host.exe Version 4.000.212e

Changed: Sitting in a web minefield won't display excessive ship logs any longer.

[edit] December 7th, 2008

[edit] What is new in Host.exe Version 4.000.212

Fixed: The "Object is not moving" message when hitting a web mine may not always be correct due to large mass hulls being able to penetrate a web mine 90% of the time. The message is now accurate.

[edit] September 10th, 2007

[edit] June 11th, 2007

[edit] What is new in Host.exe Version 4.000.203

New: Solar Gamma Ray previously would increase Crystal population by 20%. A new limit has been placed on this so that up to 100k colonists maximum will be created.

Fixed: Crystal Inferno Device no longer requires 11 fuel to be on the ship to activate.

Fixed: Dry Dock can no longer build alien hulls from Robot, Crystal, or Solorian unless you are that race.

Fixed: Hull plans from races that you mustn't have hull plans for (Solorians, Robots, Crystals) will be removed from ships.

Fixed: When an Crystal X Field interacts with a Mobile Ord Factory, it will turn it off instead of turning off the Mobile Parts Plant.

Fixed: When you recycle a ship, the base will now get any cash, food, med units, and hull plans. Hull plans will only be transferred if the player race isn't Privateer, Solorian, Robot, or Crystal.

Fixed: Web minefield detonations will now stop wings from moving.

Fixed: Low pop crystal games stuck with a resource point limit of only 50 for each Crystal player

[edit] AMarch 3rd, 2003

[edit] What is new in Host.exe Version 4.000.094

New: Weighted resource math. Races with low growth rates give a bonus in the resource point area. Crystals get a 56.25% cut in resource points

[edit] July 30th, 2001

[edit] What is new in Host.exe Version 4.000.089

New: All detonating minefield explode before movement. This is a pretty big change. If you lay a cloaked barbitic minefield the next turn you can detonate it an clear the area of all minefields and not have to worry about hitting a mine during movement. This makes it much easier to blast through enemy minefields. However, this also means that if you are in a minefield the owner of the minefield has the power to detonate the minefield before you can sweep it. Mines are a little more deadly and blasting through them is a little easier. This slightly weakens the Crystals defenses, but now that the Crystals are 100% immune to damage from detonating web fields they still have a very good fighting chance..
