I've been away for quite a while and there's lots of new stuff. I've been looking at the mining equipment and had a few questions.
Before I left I got a med barge and a set of strip miner1's and ice harvester 1's. Now I see there's strip miner2's and mining crystals available.
The specs on the strip miner1 is 540m in 3 minutes. (skill bonus added on top of that) The specs on the strip miner2 is 360m in 3 minutes. It also mentions 360m for the specialty crystal. I assume this means that it's actually mining 720m in 3 minutes if you're mining what the crystal is made for. The crystals also mention a yeild bonus. For the jaspet crystal 2 it's 175%.
Does that mean that if I'm mining jaspet with a strip2 and a jaspet crystal 2 I'm getting 1260m in 3 minutes per laser? (360+360*1.75=1260) Plus skill bonus on top of that?
Also, the market info mentions crystal volatility. How does that work? When it says 20% volatility and .05 volitility damage, what does that mean?
Thanks for any info you can provide. :)

Hi Bubba, I'm just at the same stage you are and am looking for advice on T2 strippers and crystals so a seasoned miner will be able to help us both out with a response.
However, to answer your second query I'm pretty sure that crystal volatility has not been introduced in game yet and a crystal will last forever (if I'm wrong on this I'm sure someone will put me right).

With regards to the volitility, no its not in game yet as my crystals have lasted for about 100 hours now :)
With the strip miner II's you wont get more then 1260m3 per laser, skills are already included as you need mining 5 to use these lasers to begin with. This is pleanty enough though, a Covetor has the equivilent to about 11.5 miner II's, aim for that one if you want to fill a can in 26 minutes

Yup. I agree, my strip miner 2's are pretty much equiv of having an extra strip miner on my ship anda bit more once i use the appropriate crystals.
Very nice stuff, but a tad too expensive, and yes my crystals have lasted for ages too.

The second 360 is not calculated at all. It is 360+crystals+mining+astro+mining barge bonus. It works out to an 8.33% bonus with tech I crystals and 16.66% with tech 2 crystals.
The tech II strips are not worth 30+ million, don't pay that for them.

BUT Modulated Deep Core Mining Laser 2s are worth the 3-5mil a pop. You put some T2 Crokite crystals on those things and over time, that 16.6667% improvement over Miner 2s is worth it AND they have the same PG/CPU requiments as Miner 2s.
I will never go back to Miner 2s now
