Crystal breaks on the first weapon in group, group stops firing and reloads automatically. You start firing again.

Crystal breaks on any other weapon in the group, group stops firing and does not reloads automatically. You try to fire again , NAH, you need to reload that gun you smartass.

So you either unload then reload the group manually, or open the fitting window to drag a crystal to the unloaded gun.


Its old, its annoying, and making several threads about this hasn't even earned one single DEV response so far. Opened two petitions in the past, and they got closed automatically by whatever ticket system you guys use probably because of time-out. Please, fix it/acknowledge it.

fully supported. The second bug related to crystals is that if you load a used set, unused crystals of the same type get loaded instead. This not only fills your cargo with used items quite quickly, it triggers the reload bug more often since you have now mixed up damaged and undamaged charges in the samg turret group.

how to fix eve: 1) remove ECM 2) rename dampeners to ECM 3) add new anti-drone ewar for caldari 4) give offgrid boosters ongrid combat value

Fully supported. I don't care which it does, but be consistent so I know what to expect.


On the plus side, it makes missions a little more interesting.

Very annoying issue as well. Did you put it in the Little Things thread though? Id suggest a post there as that gets read by the people that can fix these issues.

Have you heard anything I've said?

You said it's all circling the drain, the whole universe. Right?

That's right.

Had to end sometime.

I did.

In both old and new forums.


I'll probably just dig all posts and threads i made on this issue and link them on the OP so that people can see how they failed to get even a "cross-posting lock".

I thought this was WAI as a counterbalance to instant ammo-swapping :)

I could've sworn that I've seen this thread before....

Oh right, I posted it a while back.

I support your feature and or idea, and do not support it going to the feature and ideas forum.

instant ammo swapping has nothing to do with damaged crystals screwing up the entire cycle and ******* up with the weapons grouping system.

Besides, it's near instant, not instant. It's only as fast as you can right click and then left click :P

While we're on the subject of lasers and reloading, perhaps you'd be interest in checking out my proposal on the assembly hall. It's relevant. You can find it here.

Edit: Perhaps we can combine the proposals?

I'll check it but this one isn't a proposal. Its not even a Bug Report. its a STOP IGNORING THIS ISSUE report.

They simply all need to degrade at roughly the same rate when grouped.

That way when one finally does break, you do a quick reload on the whole group as you know the others are a fraction away from going bad as well. Then the tendancy for reload to grab fresh crystals works in your favor.

Frankly, this is how I thought it DID work. I usually swap them before they break though.

It is.

However when you hit the reload button it tends to reload used charges (even if you specifically tell it to reload from a packaged stack) that will inevitably have a shorter life span than the other guns in the group, and after that one breaks it will probably reload another used charge.

Then everything gets screwed.

I don't normally use lasers, though I can understand your frustration. You have my support.
