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. | This means that, on the average, the crystal has a life expectancy of 1 / 0.10 / 0.025 = 400 cycles.

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 reduces cycle time by up to ~33% will cut this life span to 7.5 hours. | |||
