Actually these mining crystals could even get a little bigger than they are, if choices of what to mine is the reason of their size.
I can put 3 different fit + mobile depot in my cargohold and still quite a good bunch of differents crystals, + drones with that, with all that crap enough crystals for 2-3 ore types and 2 replacements for each turret would be just fine.

In the name of Jirai 'Fatal' Laitanen : “Some capsuleers claim that ECM is 'dishonorable' and 'unfair'. Jam those ones first, and kill them last.”

I wonder how many of those crappy dowels an "Astrahüs" comes with?!

You guys are just plain silly. Have you ever handled a mining crystal personally? I don't mean giving a command from your pod, I mean actually going down to the cargo bay and getting all covered in dust and grime.


A couple of things you elitist snobs that never leave your pods obviously didn't know.

1 - Mining crystals are fragile - There is a lot of bubble wrap involved, and the inertial dampeners to keep them from breaking every time you go into and out of warp don't use space magic - those things are big.
2 - pod pilots demanded the quick swap feature so they could just swap on the fly and do it now. The quick change assembly takes up room too.

Bubble wrap + inertial dampeners + quick change assembly = large package for a small crystal.


You noobs need to get down to the cargo bay and see what's actually going on. sheeesh


:) exactly this !!!!!

It's not meant to make sense from a realistic standpoint, but from a game design standpoint. The same reasons many items in the game take up rather unusual or wildly unrealistic cargo space.

You sound like that guy that had a problem with Citadels fitting inside a ship's cargo bay yet being many dozens of times that ship's physical size.



OK now you are talking stupid Bullshit :D

The GAME DESIGN Point is, to NOT HAVE YOU load shitTONS of Crystals in your Cargo bay while mining. (The Example with the Cap Boosters fits perfect here).

And you also got a STANDPOINT from a realistic point of view.

At the end i can only tell/ask you WHY ? WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS ? :D

I thought it is all about ideas here and not complaining, but the last 3 threads were about "Name Changes" and "afk ratting optimizations" and this :) i will write now a totally cool idea at the top, be ready !!!!

No lets stop joking,...some things may look crazy in eve, but they have a deeper meaning...from a gameplay perspective.
Maybe you find something else that is really "broken" in the game and you have a nice idea....
