The Crystal Confederation (bases on Tholians a race in the Star Trek fictional universe)

Overview

The Crystal People are a silicon based life forms about 3 foot tall, with no limbs and a metallic color. They have two large glowing eyes in the middle of their polyhedron form. Larger Crystalline ships are moderately powerful and tend to favor beam type weapons. They have several small ship types that are useful in exploring planets and capturing freighters. Their main weapon of choice is the dreaded web minefield. They use these fields to trap enemy vessels, drain them of fuel and then tow the victim home after it is out of fuel to force it to surrender using a tow capture.

most useful ships

Only the most useful ships will be mentioned here:

  • Opal Class Torpedo Boat: This ship has two main purposes that are often combined - as a scout, and as a web tender. Generally built with Mark 4 or 7 torps (depending on cash/mineral supply), it is practically never used for combat, save for capturing freighters via an x-ray laser and the "ntp" friendly code. One of the most useful functions of this ship occurs late in the game when it is often very handy to "adjust" a large webfield a tiny bit to prevent a ship from minesweeping it from the edge. This is best done by an Opal (with perhaps a few items in its hold) sweeping said minefiend with the "msc" friendly code, thus shrinking the field by a tiny but well controlled amount. This technique can bring even the largest invading fleet to a standstill.
  • Ruby Class Light Cruiser: This is your workhorse! With 370kt cargo it more usefull then a MDSF. You can use it for tow capture and web mine support.
  • Emerald Class Battlecruiser: This is your linebacker! You can use it for nearly everything, Cargo Transfer( 510kt Cargo), Web Mine laying and fighthing. With its 8 beam / 3 Torps you can take out all non Borg, non Starbase planets.
  • Diamond Flame Class Battleship: Expensive in Moly, but worth. Can kill all midsize torpers. Best used in Combo with a Crystal Thunder. Build some with Distruptors and Gamma bombs to capture enemy Cobolds and Fireclouds.
