My only real mining experience came from a mandatory mining op in nullsec with Rorq boosts, Orcas, and guards/scouts.
Do mining crystals not auto-reload when they become depleted?

don't recall, but you'll be swapping to new ones every time you mine a different type of ore. (because each ore has its own crystal)

Right, knew that bit. I'm guessing that it would work similarly to pulse/tachyon lasers, in regards to timing the swaps and stuff. I know that I'd regularly hit issues with my NM fleet where broken crystals didn't always cycle in a new one so I'd have to manually unload + load it, reducing my efficiency.
