Effects: (Have a 1% chance of occurring)
-
Crystal Mass: Begins growing crystals around the afflicted ship’s engines. These reduce the ship’s max speed by 20% until they are burned away by the afterburners for 5 seconds.
-
Crystal Plating: Begins growing large chunks of crystal on the hull of the afflicted ship using its energy banks. These increase its resistances by 30pts but reduce energy regeneration by 20% until the plates are blasted off from 7,500 damage.
-
Crystal Mine: Grows a crystal polyp on the hull of the afflicted ship that will violently explode when within 150m of another ship.
-
Crystal Generator: Boosts the effects of Crystal growths by 25% but also increases the afflicted ship’s shield regeneration speed by 20%.
-
Scratched hull: “Crystal projectiles graze your hull leaving small cuts in it. This gives a great anchor to new Crystal infection.” Makes Crystal growth 1% more likely.
-
Omnishield: Creates a static barrier on the afflicted ship that blocks both incoming and outgoing shots for 4,500pts of damage.
-
Crystal Jet: Uses energy from the engines to push the afflicted ship in a single random direction at 120m/s for 11 seconds but only while the ship’s engines are active.
-
Inverted Growth: Grows crystals in to the target’s hull that deal increasing damage for 6 seconds. After this, the afflicted target’s hull volume is replaced with the new growth.
-
Dephasing Crystal: Mounts itself on the afflicted ship and shuts down their shields for 8 seconds, allowing shots to hit the hull directly. Has 250pts of strength and if destroyed by incoming fire restores the shields.
-
Crystal Prism: Reflects all beam weapons in a random direction. Changes their damage type to EM.
-
Crystal Cork: Plugs up the target’s turrets with crystals. This shuts down 50% of their turrets for 15 seconds.
