Just throwing out a quick squid idea:
Add the ability to drain charged psp crystal?
It'll mainly just speed up those situations where we don't have slaves to eat, but will still involve more work than merely just medding for 15 mins.
Any thoughts?
Squids: drain crystal
Why would we drain something when the psp gets automatically used? Unless your talking a canibalize type conversion rate.
Or are you talking like, fillcrystal x, where you sacrifice like x of your psp that goes into the crystal? Which still doesn't help anytime you're off zoning. It does help while doing xp I guess, but thats not really the point of having more psps.

What would REALLY be nice for crystals is the ability to put them into a slot so that squids can use the "put all bag" command and not have to recharge their damn crystal.
Also it would be nice if all the teleport orbs could be looked at and have more keywords added in (a good one is in IC "touch throbbing" a bad one is in ET, with my 'a glowing crystal sphere' I've yet to find a keyword that doesn't default to my psp crystal). When there isn't a good keyword we have to put our crystal into a bag and lose the charge.

What I mean is:
When you med and chargepsp at the same time, you're effectively almost doubling your mana regen rate (crystal regen + psp pool regen) but you need to completely drain all your psps to use the crystal mana. Then when when medding and the crystal is full, you're still far below max in your reg pool.
What I propose is basically this:
Both pool and crystal at 0.
Charge/med.
Pool's at 200ish out of 400, crystal is full at 125.
Drain crystal.
Pool goes to 325, crystal at 0.
Charge/med.
Top off both pool and crystal.
Notice, this doesn't help you at all if you have slaves etc, so really it only makes up for the extended regen time when theres nothing to drain.

I'm still not sure where this helps. It takes me exactly the same amount of time +- 3 seconds to fill up my crystal and fill up my psps. So if I empty my crystal into my mana pool, it takes me the same amount of time to fill up the crystal again as if I woulda medded from 0.
Partial drains might help, but given that every psi skill has a lag, drain lag+ charge lag + med delay lag from the charge lag probably would take longer than just sitting there and meditating, which negates any possible benifits.
And Vahok, this does not solve any psp problems raised earlier, which mostly delt with weighting eq in the new system and actual bugs.
