Hell, I can go out an run a single anom in 0.4 and get enough off bounties to buy and fit a gank Thrasher. Ten minutes tops, if I'm being lazy.

I could gank a hulk in a single tempest, but without insurance im not very likely to do this. Instead, i'll use thrashers, and be forced to team up with a bunch of other people to gank what my tempest could have done alone |

I completely agree insurance changes will do absolutly nothing to the number of ships suicide ganked. Infact i'd bet there will be an increase for a while, just out of spite. But It does change the methods used to gank. I would much rather use a team of cheap thrashers then my lone tempest. I'll actually be saving isk by being forced into this method.
And the encouragement of these blob techniques in additional gameplay areas, is only going to make it that much harder for new players to get into it on their own, or in their small corps.
I'm just a bit saddened that i cant use my tempest anymore (not cant, but... for price reasons, wont) |

I posted about this in another forum, er... post. I feel insurance, period, is dumb. If you have been playing for more than a year and cannot figure out how to properly fit ANY ship, nor afford to replace it, you should not play this game. I think for players less than a year old, would be fine... Scratch that... ACCOUNTS less than a year old (to avoid alt isk sinks).
I tell all of our noobs: "If you cant afford to lose it, don't use it." |

The insurance system is a way to know that the loss of your very pricey Machariel (sp?) will not be such a heavy burden because you will get something to compensate for the loss, will it cover the whole ship? no, but it will help you get yourself in another in less time.
I love how everyone has this really funny idea that this game should not be fun, but work. I do not play this game to feel like I have to juggle another stressful career or to have more money issues than I already have. I play this game for fun and prefer that I can lose a ship and get back in the saddle pretty quick with a platinum policy payout.
The problem with your attitude and the attitude of many on this thread is that you have some funny idea of how EVE "should be played". You think that unless they use your favorite fits and ships that they are just being dumb. I even have seen some (cough, cough, Tippia) who seem to think that this game should only be played a certain way and that you should be punished for trying anything else.
What do you think this is? Different people take different things from the game and sometimes they don't do what you want everyone to do, you just gotta relax and get over it. |

Before I go to bed for the night.
Does anybody else find the whole thread utterly absurd?
I mean, some are really loudly complaining because they won't get a payout from a insurance organization in EVE when they get blown up by the INGAME POLICE for doing things that are illegal INGAME.
Are we not supposed to consider the fact that New Eden is NOT some sort of savage post apocalyptic wasteland but more along the lines of a Mafia controlled city during the 20's and 30's. The ingame universe gives us a structure of law and order that cannot keep up with the demands that Capsuleer's put on it, we can go round and round about the who "gets EVE" more but in the end we cannot deny that concord is the police in the game and if they destroy you for breaking the law than it makes perfect sense to not expect your insurance company to give you a payout blindly.
I don't care if you gank, but don't act like that is the only thing you should be doing in EVE and that doing anything else makes you no better than a target.
besides, I doubt you would have much to shoot at if carebears could not build your ships and ammo for you. |

Then they are no longer PvPers but EVE players... Get your fact straight.
PvPers are arcade players... they play to destroy, and often get destroyed, they buy GTCs and sells them to have their "five seconds of glory" in game. |

Wow!! Settle down there Trigger! I was stating what MY opinion was. Yours is fine. But many who play EVE are well vested into this game and desire that there be more of a "grown up" mindset when playing. No Nanny-Statism involved. It is a PLAYER RUN community and CCP shouldn't step in to "make it more fun" or easier. Many who have been in this game for a while have fun at their expense, no matter the cost - To include losing pricey ships worth more then than they are now.
I prefer to play the game on MY TERMS. I.e., no involvement from CCP to make it easier for me, to protect me. That is up to me to be more ingenious and to have better decisiveness when mining, missioning or otherwise. If I, from my experience and from others who, I've no doubt, have greater wisdom to pass on, I will not keep secrets.... EVEN if it means passing on a favor'd fit (B/C IT WORKS).
Personally, I feel, If you make a Dumb mistake and AFK Mine, Gank, Solo in Low/Null sec without first comprehending the consequences of YOUR OWN actions... you deserve whatever comes your way. Concordokken'd, ganked or straight up popped in a mission... you decide your fate... NOT CCP answering to Carebears, Gankers or and Coalition to STEAR the game into what one single culture in the game wants.
This is a "Sandbox," but the more CCP gets into making changes to MECHANICS, the more this game will be watered down and become Mud.

Even with an isk penalty implemented, people will still suicide thrashers/rifters etc to kill people. The only way to solve this problem is to ether make highsec completely safe, (ie: no players can damage another player) or we debuff concord and teach the newbies how to play eve like it was made to be played. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5DBVH6IVxas

Yes all "PvP" players are exactly the same
No seriously though, most of the "PvPers" I know have at least one industry/market/$_ISKACTIVITY alt. Malcanis' Law: Any proposal justified on the basis that "it will benefit new players" is invariably to the greater advantage of older, richer players.

We took the insurance out because having it was silly. It's like a double reward when you gank someone, you get their cargo and insurance. It won't stop suicide ganking, it just fixes something we haven't really felt made sense for a long time. |

I work in insurance sector and let's be honest; you won't get any insurance payout from any company in my country if you wreck your car while robbing a bank. period.
thanks CCP for fixing this silly mistake.
oh and don't get me wrong, suicide ganking WILL continue; Goons or TEST will reimburse / pay for / offer free ships for suicide ganking just for the lulz and tears. They're already doing that.
Even when they don't or you're not part of a big troll alliance, losing 10-20mil from the insurance is insignificant when compared to the tasty tears. If you like tears, you'll keep ganking pubbies. HTFU. |

1) Is it logical i get a standard Insurance payout if i havent insured my ship? 2) Is it logical to build weapons with minerals just to reprocess them on destination cause its smaller in the amount of cargohold need to be moved? 3) is it logical the ship scanner is the only scanning module with a not clear result ofcourse u are in optimal?
if i would sit in a billion isk expensive ship in highsec you (ccp) would take care of me^^ |

The cost of losing an apoc or tempest hull right now is around 35 mil with insurance (before fittings). A tornado will be worth around 40 mil once price settles, and be just as good if not better for ganking.
A price increase of 5 mil per gank is not game changing. The tier 3 BCs with insurance would have been. |

I'd be perfectly happy with them making it impossible to suicide gank for profit, strategic advantage or any reason other than making a statement.
Mostly for the massive rage it would cause from the gankers. The most delicious tears by far are those of people who make it their job to harvest tears from others. Andreus Anthony LeHane Ixiris CEO, Mixed Metaphor
