Can we get some kind of fix for mining crystals, or a re-buff to mining barge cargo. Im pretty upset that i can only fit 9 crystals in my hulk...

im suggesting either
1) increase the cargo bay size to fit more crystals in so i dont have to dock to swap to other crystals
or
2) decrease the size of mining crystals so i can fit more then 9 in the cargo of the hulk....

I'm suggesting either
1) Use an Orca to haul crystals
or
2) Mine in a Mackinaw or Skiff, the barges designed for solo work



What great ideas!

Your quotes are magic, Paikis. You should do it more often!

Why do you need more then 9? That's 3 different types of roids you can mine.at one time..

the orca should be taking the crystals to you, and if your mining in a hulk solo you should self destruct.

i like to mine with 9 hulks at once with no orca, using a rorqual at a pos and jetcan mine for 1.5 hours then haul it all. im not using mackinaw because im greedy. I want more then 9 crystals because i mine everything not just cherry pick...

You have decided against the existing solution for your problem.
This kinda makes it your problem, not a gameplay problem.

Well, the amarr combat people get a 1m3 laser crystal. So, I propose to equalize the crystals of all types, I want the Laser crystals bought up to 25m3 each too. Why should a combat ship be able to carry a huge pile of crystals and a mining ship not?

Because not all things are equal, there is dozens of threads that all say the same crap, why can't I solo in a hulk, why can't I hold a set of every crystal in the game, my cargo rigs are useless...... well if you want more crystals use cargo rigs, but still, if it is that big of an issue anchor a GSC while you mine, when you are done pick it up in your hauler. Problem solved. Stop whining about how things are now, get over it. Rage quit, it doesn't matter, what's done is done.

You don't need to carry more than 9 crystals on a ship that is designed to work best in a fleet.
