You're flying your ships wrong if they survive long enough for you to break the crystals.

That said, supported.

CTA only ships generally survive a lot of battles if you have a good FC.

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.


You're doing it wrong. If you have say an Abaddon with 8 used anvy multis, and 8 new navy multis, the used ones says used, the new ones are there own selectable item from the right click drop down menu.

All I would say is pop a text box warning when a crystal fails that stops the entire group. The *only* time that should happen is if you have crystals in various stages of damage and one fails before the others do. Big no no IMO. Load the same ones and they all degrade at the same rate and will fail as one.

Best to do what a poster above says, dump them at .90 and no worries.

Oh and always carry spares. Oops

Crystals and weapon groups has been a massive pain for a long time, since CCP is in "Fix it" mode, they should get on this as well.

Yep, you are exceedingly bad at this game. Go pod yourself.

Heh I was thinking the same thing. I think I've had crystals burn out of me only once.

Still should be fixed.

That is part of the bug. Even if you select the "all new" option it will still load used ones some times, with no predictable pattern.

Also, monitoring crystal damage when you use mega pulses and scorch crystals is already something i do to get around the bug. I do not like doing it, therefore i am asking for a bug fix =)

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.


This. Dear god, this. What makes it worse is that IT USED TO WORK PROPERLY. CCP broke it a year ago and has never bothered to fix it.
