Hello everyone.

There is another one brave new idea about ressurecting dead body of mining.

I don't like to swtich my crystals, it's boring and make me wanna cry. All i want is to annihilate this lovely rocks and have fun. And that's why i wanna discuss with you next suggestion.

First of all, universal t2 crystal. It's make your strip mine 75% faster than now, it's useful in high sec where roids is too small for normal t2 crystals but requires a lot of skills ( all reproceccing skills in 4 may be).
Weak version of it requires the same skills as t2 strip and give 62.5% (numbers need to be tested and overall m3/h must me be equal to normal t2).

Second...oops, that's all. I'm only hate this stupid micromanagment with thousands of little multy colors things.

mining already has to little player involvement as is if you don't want to swap use t1 strips if you want more m3/h then put a little more work into it

The micromanagement is intetntional to give active miners better yield. It's really not that much effort to switch cryt=stals now and then and you should be swapping them out at 98% used anyway to recycle them.

I have to agree with what has already been said. You want to make a process that requires so little input... even less input?

swapping crystals in instantaneous, so why?? Seriously, right click, select crystal, done.
Literally 2 click.

So this is a -1 from me

Exactly...

OP, I have no idea what you're talking about. I change my T2 crystals maybe, once every couple hours? Maybe try picking an ore for each trip out to a belt and sticking to it. If there isn't enough of one type of ore in a belt to fill your hold then move to a lower security system.
