Ok I banged my head on the keyboard for 4 days now, the issue is "How do i calculate the insurance payout?".

I know already the following:
Theorical formula: (ship min. price)*(insurance type multiplier)*(ship multplier)

I have the mineral price already, I have the insurance type multiplier (since I need plat insurance that will go for 100%).
Doing it one by one isn't possible, 1st I can't afford buying any ship ingame to find payouts, 2nd it would take a REAL lot of time.

So the issue is where are those ship multipliers? Looked for them in the DB dump but apparently I can't find them! Any advice?

Could you not create an alt and use t1 frigs and cruisers to get a baseline.

Ccp values in terms of average material price and yours could be way off, but using fries means it will be cheaper to narrow it down. You get a fare amount of free ships during tutorials especially. The career section.

I'm not sure CCP. wants to release this information as it will drive prices up to make suicide bounty hunting profitable, if you get. The insurance from Concorde action.

Its time to stand up against the bad empire based CEO telling falsehoods about what new characters can accomplish and pushing them towards an in game experience of drudgery and loneliness keeping them in the shadow of ignorance for at nest their own profit at worse apathy towards all the experiences that Eve has to offer.

I believe insurance payouts are now based on CCP's market data and therefore near impossible to calculate.
