Origin
Not much to the origin story on this one. Just a daydream leading to the "can a ship be made around this idea?". The idea in this case being the Crystal Vengeance augment we all so happily sell at our earliest convenient. Combining it with that other augment we rather sell, this ship took shape. And I hope you'll like the "quirk" on this one. It works better than you may think...
I present to you : The Masochist !

When you lack firepower, throw chunks of your own ship at it ! At least this ship can regrow those chunks, given time...

Strategy
The strategy is pretty straight forward. Using the guaranteed shards from the upgrade Crystal Vengeance along with the free hull repairs from the Crystal Growth (repair arm that doesn't take scrap in the process) means that early game you'll be trading hull for extra fire power.
Late game, they're a nice bonus and you'll probably won't have too much of a hard time with the free repairs. Balance wasn't my main concern for this one, but I tried. Got suggestions, let me know, I'll look into them.

Other useful info
Ship replaces Crystal B
Is not part of the Bio's Fleet Pack as it messes with augments. And without those adjustments, this ship is probably toast.
Ship has artillery available only in CE, it's the Lattice Lockdown Blast found on Crystal A

heyyyy--looks like you decided to make it a real thing.

Although quirky, I'll definitely have a run with this thing.

Seems like you decided to make your Hub as well.

As for the this ship. It's weird... you shouldn't be smiling when you get hit in this game, and yet...
Karma is a 5 letter naughty word.
Imagine getting to the Crystal Homeworld with this thing. You'd be playing tennis.

Yeah, like anyone will be getting to the Crystal Homeworlds

Definitely sounds like a ship I'd fly for a sector then die horribly because I didn't get the strategy just right.
Or I get a good set of guns.

Will add it to my list of ships to eventually fly.

Blue is the new yellow?

Darn... well, didn't know the exact idea already existed.
On the bright side, the link on that one is busted, so people who liked that one, can now use this one instead?

So... I got around to doing a run...
