EVE General Discussion

I'm totally fine with with not getting insurance from my Suicide Destroyers. This will in no way lessen my number of ganks. Like at all. The price to buy and fit a new one comes with a single dropped miner 1.

Removal of insurance payouts when a ship is destroyed by Concord is nothing but an appeasement scheme that a good number of miners are going to fall for.

It will change the amount of suicide ganks by exactly zero.

The only difference is the players who have been calling for this will now be lulled into a sense of "more security" in high-sec.

They have been under the perception that insurance payouts make some huge difference when it comes to someone taking out their Hulk, which is utter crap. Once you get into ships that are somewhere above newbie-ship, insurance payouts become unbalanced, and in the end you lose money on a gank, regardless of insurance.

Sure, it may pay a small amount back, but the people who do this aren't exactly newbs most of the time, and generally have an alt/corp/alliance with a bank full of isk to back them up.

It would be interesting to see just how many gank ships are even insured in the first place.

I disagree with Tippia here. This move makes high-sec less safe, just as she'd like to see.

Insurance payouts removed = false sense of security for carebears = easier targets.

Where are these tears you mention? I don't see any. I see loads of people who don't really care either way, the people who suicide gank being mostly indifferent about the change, while a few forum regulars troll or try to debate the issue on a theoretical basis just for the pleasure of debating it. If you truly believe what you see here are tears, you haven't actually ever read a tear filled thread in your life.

I'm in favor of this, but only for 1 thing. ISK Faucet is getting turned off. Now it might not be a huge amount, since its generally cheap ships being used, but it's just that much less ISK being created out of thin air.

I do feel bad for the suicide gankers who will have to work harder to find good targets of opportunity though. Best of luck to you all.

Your answer is full of tears.

This will simply seperate the true career Gankers from the wannabe's.
It won't stop suicide Ganking - it will just highlight the phrase "necessity is the mother of invention".

You wanna turn off the isk faucet? Get rid of missions, incirsuions, Ice and minerals oh and PVP

This insurance change is part of CCP's drive to protect their highsec bot userbase.

Because that's all it does.

because thats what makes sense to you.

and goon tears are best tears

With the Tier 3s reducing the cost of ganking it probably balances...
