Crystalline Entity Patch
This is a new patch for the Crystaline Entity mod that was released on Armada II Files a few weeks back. It now has all-new interface graphics and AIP files. This is in .exe format so it's easy to install.
Crystalline Family Patch Mod(by STGamerNew2002)
This is the patch for the previous 'Crystalline Family Mod' made by Slider17. In this patch are some customized AIP files, a NEW Interface GUI for the creature, voiceover wav files and updated odf / misc. files. Now you can play AGAINST this Life-Energy draining space-born entity!

In my game's version, I took off the regular stocked 'fer.odf' file and added my own 'Ferengi Scavengers' race into them. I never expereinced what you just reported here, but I learned something new there.
In the race.odf file, I took out the 'fer.odf' file to replace it with the crystalline entity. You can add the Ferengi back if you want to, but I've notice that this part in the races' odf:
section // Instant action slot, negative means not playable
instantActionSlot = 5
You have to change it to the next available Instant Action slot. I guess the best bet is to have th list like this:
numberOfRaces = 9
race0 = "borg.odf"
race1 = "fed.odf"
race2 = "kling.odf"
race3 = "rom.odf"
race4 = "card.odf"
race5 = "species8472.odf"
race6 = "fer.odf"
race7 = "crystalline.odf"
// this one is 'uninhabited' for planets
race8= "norace.odf"
Then turn on the Ferengi in the Instant Action Menu - that may work....
Thanks for the compliment on this one too!
