Mining
the soothing but boring aspect of eve that desperately wants to get better. Here's a suggestion on how.
1) Keep everything that's currently working (my 5 mining accounts doing it afk).
2) Make an optional mini-game with additional profit to the routine, and that oh so fascinating treasure finding aspect.
The mini-game could be a chance-based factor of finding rare, epic and legendary diamonds* inside the asteroid. In order to loot the diamond*, the pilot needs to swap crystals on the fly using a special interface that pops up. The quality of the diamond would depend on how well you manage the crystal swaps as well as the chance based diamond* type you get.
Swapping crystals would be the skill based part of the process: To pierce further inside the asteroid using one crystal, pierce through gas pockets using another, and finally carve out the diamond* using the least focused crystal.
The diamonds found would be used to create tech3 mining crystals. These would come in two flavors: A high yield omni mining crystal, and the aforementioned diamond* mining crystals.
*rare stuff of choise

You suggesting an additional activity or minigame to mining with unique rewards is an old idea. What those rewards are isn't a big problem and there are many ideas about that. The kernel of the problem really is what kind of minigame are you talking about? It's all about details. If you have a clear idea how it would work in the actual game, please describe it in detail and not just with vague outlines.

Bots will get pretty complicated if they have to perform mini games while mining...
not sure what you want, but I fear that you want some sort of small platform (like some flash game found on www.onemorelevel.com) where you run around fixing your miners and maintaining them for max yield, giving them oil and replacing parts bla bla bla.
No, mining is boring and the isk you get from it should be reward enough in it's self. yes they should make belts more interresting or change the mechanics of it a bit.

Needs more details, but it sounds like a knock-off of runscape mining to me.. needs some originality

I don't think you understand. Diamonds are formed by the heat and pressure of a planet, they don't naturally occur in asteroids.
Maybe some sort of gem, yes, but not diamonds.

I heard that if you goto 0.0 space there are hard pirates which appear at the belts! as well as enemy players! and you even have chances of commanders coming. Thats a pretty exciting mini game.
