Crystalline Entity Elite still impossible

Crystalline entity on elite is still impossible to fight. after 15 minutes, full group of veteran CE fighters only knocked off 20% health. CE does too much damage, as do large shards.

I have done just one, right after the patch, takes a bit longer than on Normal but it can be done.
wouldn't mind but am packing elite fleet shields adv fleet weapons and 5 MK XII very rare weapons consoles and the CE wipes me out with 3 shots of its rays
I know elite is supposed to be difficult but what on earth else can I out on my ship to give me more of an advantage
about the only change i seen so far is 40 marks for the LOOOOOOOOOOOONG fight it took ...
wonder if the drops them selves are bugged now ...
pay up or drop the troll reward
Things about the CE ...
1. Big Shards are supposed to do a ****load of dmg, healing the CD for a ammount x% of the dmg they did to you
2. Every small shard that returns heals the CE and - here the important part - STACKS UP A DMG BUFF!
3. You NEED to move and don't get too near, run away from shards and kill them around 8 km from the CE (before they are invincible)
You can't do it like on normal, that's why it's called elite.
The shards do not heal the Entity, and Cryptic/PWE makes no mention of invincible shards in the posts on the creature. Please see Admiral Grigori Yanishev's in-game brief and the following blog post for information on the Entity.

This is something I have a problem with. Just come off a game where we got the CE to 30% health, but by that time it had Recrystalise 108 times.
And Subnucleonic Beam did nothing. The description clearly states "Removes all buffs" yet the CE was allowed to retain the re-crystalise buff.
And for that guy with the elite fleet shields stuff well mate its not what you got its how you use it. So pls guys i know not crying is hard but could you noobs just leave those elite missions alone and stay with the normal stuff and let us elite enough to make it our elite content?
I mean really the game is full of much too easy content. We need more like that, stuff where even the really good guys need ro spend time on planning trying and so forth. Just because we are better players than you guys doesnt mean we have no right to get something challanging for our selfes. Its bad enough difficulty settings end at elite.. I wouldnt mind an ultra elite version of basically every mission.
um, you think invisible shard is an intended feature? They've been invisible since it was first released, its a bug they probably aren't capable of fixing.
Completed Starbase, Embassy, Mine, Spire and No Win Scenario
Nothing to do anymore.

Yeah, that was the note for the event CE, not the normal and elite one.
As far as I saw it, when a big shard hits you the CE gets healed and stacks up the buff with the small shards (on their returning). Played alone against it in normal (everyone left ...) and had the impression it would heal itself when those small ones return, might be I saw it wrong.
It also might be a bug, that the shards are invincible but I doubt it. Seems more like a bug that the tholian ships near the CE are also invincible.
Fact is, in elite you need a good team - the normal tact with "camp 4 km from it and shot till dead" wont work, because of the dmg from the shards, the insane dmg with buff etc.
You HAVE to move when a shard is upon you and you have to help your teammates if they have a shard or more behind them.
You can't outequip this encounter, you have to work together.
Finally managed to get through one today and I agree. The rewards are not worth it especially for all of the time you waste. I will stick with normal until something is done to make CE elite worth my time.
