Formula
The formula for determining average life expectancy of a crystal is simple:
Life Expectancy (in cycles) = Structure Hitpoints / Volatility / Volatility Damage
One may then multiply the expected cycles by the cycle time to calculate a crystal's life expectancy over time. Remember that Volatility is a percentage, so for example, a crystal with a Volatility of 10% must use the value 0.10 in the equation.
Example
The Plagioclase Mining Crystal I has a Volatility of 10%, which means that for every cycle there is a 10% chance that it will receive damage. The amount of damage it receives will be the Volatility Damage value of 0.025 HP. It will shatter when its total damage reaches the Structure Hitpoints value of 1 HP.
This means that, on the average, the crystal has a life expectancy of 1 / 0.10 / 0.025 = 400 cycles. With a standard (unbonused) strip mining cycle time of 180 seconds, one may estimate that a crystal will endure approximately 72,000 seconds, or 20 hours, of constant mining before shattering.
Tech 2 crystals will last, on average, 200 cycles or 10 hours of constant mining with the standard cycle time of 180 seconds. Note that bonuses from an Orca or Rorqual (which can reduces cycle time by up to ~33%) will cut this life span to 7.5 hours.
