So that people can learn skills based on insurance so that they can make it a viable ISK making business in EVE, You could have it so that you can insure peoples ships based on character activity with a set of conditions to stop people doing insurance jobs on there ships etc.

I'm sure this could not possibly hurt the new player experience one bit.

So then add as part of the tutorial and all new players get reasonable insurance quotes from the NPC corps.

You still haven't come up with an explanation as why removing insurance is a great idea & how it could be replaced by the players.

It's the whole point of a proposal & what separates a proposal from a bad post.

Ignore the fact that's called Insurance. It's really just a PVP subsidy so that people without shedloads of ISK will continue to get blown up.

Also, y u trollin' again?

De'Veldrin's Corollary (to Malcanis' Law): Any idea that seeks to limit the ability of a large nullsec bloc to do something in the name of allowing more small groups into sov null will inevitably make it that much harder for small groups to enter sov null.
