This is a fantastic release for your friendly psicrystal. 5 stars. Highly recommended.
I do, however, have some questions about the details of the Superior Psicrystal Feat:
Can this feat be taken multiple times? Can the effects stack on a single psicrystal? (An attuned crystalline creature would be a great "animal" companion).
For the tactician/vitalist superior attuned psicrystals being able to add things to the collective they are touching -- what happens if the creature being added is unwilling?
For the crystalline creature, is this combinable with a true animal companion -- perhaps a druid/psion multiclass -- if so, what takes precedence, the psicrystal or animal companion (example: hit points, HD, feats, etc)?
Given the superior psicrystal feat being as good as it is, can a manifester have more than one psicrystal (at the expense of 4 feats -- psicrystal affinity, superior psicrystal doubled), you'd get a psicrystal weapon as well as a crystalline creature companion.
There are some seriously awesome possibilities with this expansion.
Sorry for the delayed reply! While we might revisit it in the future, for now, Superior Psicrystal can only be taken one time. Similarly, Psicrystal Affinity can only be taken one time.
Just like normal they can't add unwilling members unless they have The Unwilling Participant feat.
This isn't compatible with familiar and/or animal companions.
Good questions!
Just for the sake of asking, but can a Crystal Warrior aegis with the implanted psicrystal still gain the benefits of having his psicrystal consumed by the astral suit?
How does Attuned Psicrystal (Psion: Shaper) work? What are it's limits?

From what I get from that ability, it allows the manifester to alter the effect of a power after the fact, during it's normal duration.
So, if you choose, Astral Construct, you can change one of the menu choices you took when you initially manifested the power with another valid option, as long as it occurs during the duration of the Astral Construct power.

It was the squares covered part that confused me.
The squares part refers to things like shape-able powers (flagged with an (s) similar to spells like forbiddance, etc).
Question, the Empower Psicrystal option doesn't clarify this but are psi-like abilities with a range of personal available only to the psicrystal or can it share them with it's master?
I've asked Andreas to weigh in on the questions - he's putting together answers. :)
