Mining crystals and gang links certainly have no impact on game mechanics - if the game requires you to kill someone by swinging a sword, the damage range of the sword itself has nothing to do with the game mechancs, likewise there is no difference in mechanics between mining in a hulk with stripminers or in an ibis with a nooblaser.
(just an example)
May I remind you that this isn't WoW, and there aren't any swords here?
In your discussion of mechanics, you have overlooked the economic impact on markets (and hence on many areas of Eve) of increased yield or larger volumes of minerals available (from increasing size of droids).
Supply and demand dictate prices for minerals. More supply, same demand = a fall in mineral prices. Hence, mining becomes less profitable. Some fix eh?
Mining in high sec doesn't need any boosts. What needs to happen is that industrial activities like mining need to be made more attractive in the vast areas of low sec that are WAY under-utilised. Mining solo is a little tedious...better to also look at ways to encourage gang-mining and such (like gang-derived mining bonuses), which also makes sense if you want to encourage low-sec mining (for better ores).
Take care,

There are those Min ships, but I don't think that was what she was referring too :)
Upon reflection, and linking changes for low sec to encourage players there, I would like to see most ore types moved to low sec from empire I'm not in favour of mining becoming more low risk than it currently is in Empire, or better rewards for miners that choose to stay in Empire. If you want better rewards, you need to take risks...
