This video comes to mind every time I see this thread in my inbox

1) Ether --> Energy (Power/Weapons/Light)
2) Electricity --> Other (Lift/Weapon Cannon/Shroud/Trim).

We know that Lift/Trim crystals decay over time and Power crystals get better.   I wonder if this difference is true for the others in the same category (though the idea of "spent" light crystals kinda negates this).

So far yes, though I wouldnt put it past the setting to have crystals convert other energies, perhaps heat to electricity, or Ether to Lasers?

Also, I havent been able to find any mention of a Shroud crystal, I was under the impression it was a direct property of the Core crystal for some reason (perhaps the way (click to show/hide)Preddy manipulated it to double as a display screen)

I should the shroud was something you couldn't keep up 24/7 as it was too taxing.

Hmm, that's true.  And that implies a way to control it, which at this level of tech would either need it to be a separate crystal system they can regulate the power feed to, or else I suppose it could be emitted from the core but suppressed/dampened so that it doesnt use up the full level of energy. 

If it is indeed a separate type of crystal, Im really curious to hear how it functions.  I mean, Force Fields...
