Why does a mack only insure for 35 mill but costs 190 mill to buy?

How does this help EVE though? Death is definitely not without cost but at least let us keep 60% - 80% of hull value? Is this just another way to chase away new players?

Insurance makes about as much sense as cargo scanners. Both should be removed from the game.

It ain't new players flying Macks and Insurance is a lame mechanic.

New Players without a lot of money fit T1 modules so most of their cost is the hull itself. Insurance is good for them but after 3 months new policies should be revoked in their entirety.

By then they should know enough to not fly what they can not afford to lose.

How would the removal of insurance help EVE grow? Or is it that most are of the opinion that there are to many isk faucets?

On that track if free ISK helps EVE grow then why make ships cost money at all.

Kind of defeats the purpose of having to buy a PvP Ship when you get most of that back anyway.

Because insurance is an isk faucet & we need less faucets.

Because insurance only takes into account the materials required to make it, not the price you bought it for.

Now, more than ever, we need a dislike button.

The more accurate answer is insurance only takes in to account the average prices of the minerals used to build it. It doesn't calculate the costs of T2 & T3 stuff well because you're using so many different materials & very little of those are actually minerals.

Why does a titan have a 650m payout when they cost a bit more than that to build?

Hey, If you are willing to pay 150 mill insurance you will get more out....NOT

T2 ship....nobody insures T2 ships for the ship but for a part of the fitting.
