This means that, on the average, the crystal has a life expectancy of <math>1 / 0.10 / 0.05 = 200</math> cycles. With a standard (unbonused) strip mining cycle time of 180 seconds, one may estimate that a crystal will endure approximately 36,000 seconds, or 10 hours, of constant mining before shattering.

The Simple Asteroid Mining Crystal Type A II has a Volatility of 12%. It has the same 0.05 HP Volatility Damage, and 1 HP Structure Hitpoints as the tech I variant. As a result, the crystal has a life expectancy of <math>1 / 0.12 / 0.05 = 166</math> cycles. However, a ship using these crystals will likely not be operating unbonused; it will likely be flying with significant improvements to its mining cycle time. So, while an unbonused strip miner cycle takes 180 seconds and a tech II would last around 8 hours, strip miners fitted to a max-skilled [[Hulk]] <ref group=Note name=Hulk />, enhanced by a Mining Laser Optimization Charge from a [[Rorqual]] <ref group= Note name=Rorqual />, can cycle in as little as 42 seconds, thus reducing the crystals lifespan to a mere 116 minutes. However, to compensate, if further enhanced by an Equipment Preservation charge, the crystals volatility can be reduced by up to 60%, resulting in a new life expectancy of <math>1 / 0.08 / 0.05 = 500</math> cycles, which at 42 seconds per cycle comes out to 21,000 seconds, or just short of 6 hours of constant mining before shattering.

'''Duration reduction'''<br>

Start with a duration(cycle time) of 180 sec.

* Hulk

** 15% strip miner duration reduction for the role bonus

** 15% strip miner duration reduction for the role bonus. Reduces the duration to 153 sec.

** 3% strip miner duration reduction for the Exhumers skill per level = 15%

** 3% strip miner duration reduction for the Exhumers skill per level. According to [[Stacking penalties]] Mining laser cycle duration is not stacking penalized so lvl V gives 5x3= 15%. Reduces the duration to ~130 sec.

* Rorqual

** 15% strip miner duration reduction for the Mining Laser Optimization Charge

** 15% strip miner duration reduction for the Mining Laser Optimization Charge. Would reduce the duration to ~110 sec.

*** 5% Mining Foreman Burst effect increase for the Capital Industrial Ships per level = 25% increase

*** 5% Mining Foreman Burst effect increase for the Capital Industrial Ships per level. According to [[Stacking penalties]] Duration (cycle time) bonuses (other) are not stacking penalized so this should increase the Mining Laser Optimization Charge effect at lvl 5 by 5x5 = 25%. Increasing the effect increase to 18.75%. Which would reduce the duration to ~105 sec. Still nowhere close to the 42 sec mentioned in the text.

~~Total:~~ 15% + 15% + ~~(1,25 x 15~~%) = 48.75% duration ~~reduction~~

~~180~~ sec ~~- 48~~.~~75% = 92~~.~~25 sec~~

The above is done by taking the result of each step as the source for the next step'

When adding al the reduction % together before applying them to the duration that gives 15% + 15% + 18.75% = 48.75%. Which gives a duration of ~92 sec. This shaves of a few more seconds but still does not brings us to the 42 sec mentioned.

What am I missing?
