Starbase Overhaul. Plain and simple.

It would take a year to make a list of everything POSs need to have fixed/removed/added.

Most, if not all, of you other POS Owners would agree.

no more modules/ammo drop from destroyed ships, only cargo

Mining crystal icons are all basically a slightly off white color for each crystal (except 1 is ever so slightly green, and 2 are ever so slightly blue). This means you cannot visually tell the difference between for example scordite and pyro mining crystals which means you need to mouse over and wait the 2 seconds for the popup data to e displayed, or open your fitting window and mouse over them for each crystal to make sure you're not randomly using 1 - 3 incorrect crystals for your current targeted ore type.

Also the ability to see how damaged a crystal is.

Currently you have to be undocked, and the crystal has to be attached to a strip miner. To successfully figure out how damaged a crystal is you need to be in space and have 3 containers (orca, POS, JC, whatever, 1 container for all the crystals, 1 for damaged, one for undamged). You need to keep your inventory empty, take a crystal from a container, fit it to the strip miner, wait 2 seconds for the popup tooltip, then unfit the crystal and place it in the container of too damaged to use (and reprocess) or put it in a container to continue to use.

^ That right there, is simply too many steps to find out a very important piece of information. It's like not displaying how much damaage has been done to a module from over heating.

So simple solution. Display damage done to a mining crystal in the same fashion that is used for modules. The ability to visually see how much damage is done will make the process that much easier and will alert miners that the chances of the crystal being destroyed is getting closer.
