Not necessarily a problem, but I struggle to see an application for such
abilities outside of maybe bribery or something.
Amend Rule 2562, Facility Ranks, to read as follows:

To clarify, you can increase the rank of any facility anywhere with
crystals, but you can only increase the rank of facilities without crystals
on that LU? That's what it seems like. If this is not the intent, revise
the proposal. If this is the intent, it could be phrased more obviously.
Enact a new rule, entitled "Crystals" (Power = 2.0), with the following text

I'm not sold on these names since they really don't sound very crystalline.
Perhaps types of gems like "quartz, ruby, diamond, tanzanite"? That's just
my opinion though.

I'm fine with this as long as those with welcome packages are also given
the same gift.

I am not sure how much I approve of this. You said you wanted the price of
crystals to be crazy high. I feel like this kinda devalues them.
A player CAN, by announcement, destroy a crystal in eir possession

So you get to choose? I'm actually a fan of that. It's like a last-ditch
effort if you really are scrapped for resources but happen to have a
crystal you haven't used.
