I was thinking...
All pew-pew ammo have faction versions, so why can't miners get faction mining crystals? - it's ammo too.
All faction ammo is better then T2 versions so that would lead to little more boost to mining for higher price of crystals.

What do you ppl think about that?

I think it would be bad for the mineral markets, and hence miners, if mining lasers had a higher yield.

I wouldn't mind this if they were like current faction ammo and not be as good as T2 ammo.

Not a bad idea for those that don't have access to T2 crystals.

so, you're gonna go down to Outer Ring and mission for ORE? OK then. have fun.

One of the bitter points of a good bittervet is the realisation that all those SP don't really do much, and that the newbie is having much more fun with what little he has. - Tippia

Sure, Better yield than T1, worse yield than T2. Just like short range faction ammo vs short range t2.

But nobody will ever use it, so save the dev time and do something else.


Faction ammo is better than T2 *in most cases* Mining is too one dimensional to work like that.
