There are a lot of times in Spiral Knights where I wish I could spend only Crystal Energy on something without using Mist Energy (like crafting). This is pretty minor in comparison to other Suggestions, though. If it isn't too much, may I suggest that an option in the Options menu where you can decide what gets paid with CE and what gets paid with ME?

You have a point
Now that I think about it, my previous reasoning was pretty flawed in the logic department. Originally, I was thinking that because ME regenerates, whereas CE doesn't, so when you use up all your ME, you're basically resetting the counter for it to fully regenerate.

Processing Thoughts of You Always
...it bugs me to see those non-zero numbers stuck to the end of my CE value?
D:
That's not really a valid argument, though. More of a cosmetic thing.

There are two solutions to this problem:
-The developers can waste a few days making this a thing, just so that 99% of the playerbase can ignore it.
-The 1% of players who favor this can get over their OCD, or find a new game that favors their strange desire to see rounded numbers.

@Sourix
Ye are a perfectionist are ye?
I would want to confess something, I am. Everytime I see no 2 zero digits at the end of the numbers, I always wanted to think a way how to get rid of my CE that is not rounded up. :x
*shrugs* One of my habits. Sometimes I just leave it there but when the right time comes that I could round off my CE to 2 zero digits...

The whole "CE doesn't end in
The whole "CE doesn't end in 0 D:" thing actually doesn't bother me at all. However, I just thought of a use for this, though it's not exactly common.
Say you finished a Jelly King run with 38 (random number) Mist Energy left over at 12 AM. You want to start off the next day at 8 PM with a full ME tank, but you also want to craft something before you log off. If you craft, then you'll be forced to start the next day at 10 PM if you want to play with a full ME tank.
There's probably some remedies to this situation though. It's probably my mentality speaking >_> Besides, there are other really great suggestions that should really become a reality. This suggestion isn't as necessary as the other ones.

lol, it's the same.
Spend CE now to have a full mist tank tomorrow.
VS
Spend mist now. Tomorrow your tank will be half full, but you'll have the CE
In fact it's better as it is. Unless you calculate the exact precise moment where you tank refills, there's a chance you will waste mist since it doesnt go over 100.
Why would you want to do that?
Crystal energy is superior to mist energy in every way, there is no benefit to using crystal energy over mist.
