I always thought that frequency crystals for Mining Lasers to make them mine different roid types faster was a good idea.
Detailed example:
Miner 1 - 20 Ore units base (reduced base amount).
Veldspar Crystal (Needs a better name, but you get the idea.
When placed on the Miner 1, it gives a 300% increase on the amount of Veldspar mined, and a 50% decrease in the amount of other ore mined.
So basically, a Miner 1 would mine 60m3 of Veldspar a minute, but only 10m3 of any other ores when equipped with a Veldspar Crystal.
Also the higher end crystals (Bistot, etc) cost more. Perhaps a 300 ISK Mineral cost to build a Veldspar Crystal, but a couple of million for a Bistot/Arkonor one.

I really like this idea. Especially with a couple of tweaks.
Maybe instead of crystals, have more specialized mining lasers. Combat people get lots of types of weaps to choose from, we should be able to choose our instrument of asteroid doom :) Also, this prevents hot-swapping in space, forcing you to specialize, especially if youre out in deep space away from stations (though who would mine anything but bistot out there anyways!)
Also, give it some nice skill reqs, basic for the veldspar laser/crystal, advanced for the bistot thing.

The problem with that is that people will just complain about how it makes mining so much more complicated.
Using Hot-Swappable crystals therefore makes sense, as it would give the chosen effect, and keep hassle to a minimum.
Perhaps make it so that there is a 2 minute delay in swapping the crystals, so it meets halfway, not too quick and easy, and not too hard.

A nice little add on for the game, but I rather they fixed the bugs first.

I think everyone agrees with that comment :)
No harm in making suggestions for content though.

Also one thing.. havenŠt thought it through though, what about small, medium and large sized mining lasers... maybe small miner 1Šs mine 20 units. medium 30 and large 40... just a thought but iŠll bet 500k isk that this will never be implemented

I like the idea of small/medium/large version of mining lasers...each requiring skills similar to how small/medium/large weapons require.
Miner I - 60CPU, 40ore/min
Medium Miner I - 66CPU, 44ore/min
Large Miner I - 72CPU, 48ore/min
It also makes sense that since Mining Lasers are infact lasers, that you can tune the frequency to certain types of asteroids.
For example, maybe Scordite mines 5% more ore when use you a Gamma Lens on your mining laser.

Small/Medium/Large mining lasers isn't so much of a good idea in my opinion.

Large/Medium/Small seems like a good idea to me, but there should only be a range bonus. If what has been rumoured about the new types of ore is true and they are unstable and only there for a few moments, a higher range on the large miner I's could be crucial to effecient mining.

That could work, but the thing is how would you limit them to ship types?
Mining lasers aren't supposed to use much power, just a lot of cpu, and if you can fit 7 large mining lasers on an Armageddon, you can easily fit one on a frigate...
I suppose it would be possible to make medium ML's use 50 power, and large 1000, but as I said, they aren't supposed to use up much power...

A laser and therefore a crystal........
Strange concept : But it might just work DAMMIT!
Why are all the best ideas so obvious to players ?????
