In-Game Description

Very pretty sparkling crystals. When you look into them deeply, you feel like you can see the entire universe.

Uses

• 50t Void Crystals are required for the Khador Drive blueprint.

Description

• Void Crystals can only be obtained by mining asteroids in the Void system. These crystals will pay an important role throughout the base game as they are used to construct the Khador Drive. The rarity of the crystals and the danger of mining them is reflected in the high price.

Mining

Since the Voids spawn indefinitely, Mining the crystals may prove particularly challenging, especially in the later stages of the game, where the Voids can quickly overwhelm any ship in seconds.

• The ship's own hull durability is important, as is armor (T'yol) and shields (Fluxed Matter Shield/Particle Shield). The Ketar Repair Bot/Ketar Repair Bot II wouldn't be able to outheal their combined weight of fire.
• Hire three wingmen and make use of Sentry Guns (such as the Berger SG-400) to distract the Voids.
• Just before docking onto an asteroid, activate a cloaking device (preferably the Yin Co. Shadow Ninja, which conceals the ship for 40 seconds). While cloaking isn't available during mining directly, a well-timed activation could yield a significant amount of Void Crystals.
• Use a booster (Polytron Boost) to evade the Voids.
• Have a good drill (Gunant's Drill) in order to extract as much ore as possible in the smallest amount of time.
• After acquiring a Khador Drive, it can be utilized to quickly jump back without having to reach a wormhole. It is also the only means of entering the Void system after finishing the base game, which prohibits further portal spawns.

Trivia

• Khador claims that each crystal contains a tiny image of the universe, allowing the Voids to open wormholes anywhere in the universe.
• Void Crystals are one of the most expensive ore, only tied with Novanium in the Supernova campaign.
  • In the Android HD version, Void Crystals have the same price as Cesogen.
  • The Void crystals on the HD version of GOF2 on Android are only 1/10 the price of what everyone is claiming.
• In the SD version of GoF2, the asteroids containing Void Crystals resembles large pieces of space junk when viewed from afar.
