EVE General Discussion

So I can welp Machariels into gate camps and my Alliance will cover the expense? Awesome.

I could see this working if you could set some sort of conditions for the payouts.
ISK limit or refund a set % of losses or something.

Best option is just to appoint someone to handle all your corp/alliance insurance claims.

Most corps would leave it off.
Most corps have specific circumstances by which you can get SRP, and the first is usually "you don't get SRP if it was your own stupid fault" CCP would have a hard time coding this in as a rule.

I think his idea might have been sparked for those that want to have auto insurance like for example your in NUll Sec working out of a POS and your in a SoV war and you grab a ship from the PoS, Then have a pop up window for insurance that each player pays for. Then when or if he dies the corp gets sent back to Corperation to help towards making new ships.

If not that would be a nice spin off of this idea .

Does getting reprimanded or fired get back the 60bil macherial that one of my corp members just lost?

You don't seem to get that it's not as clear cut as you think though. Nobody would enable this idea as theres so many sub rules to SRP that the only corps that would find this useful would be tiny corps. And if they are paying out SRP for thousands of ships, they are doing something wrong.

Add the option to the killmail: manual reimbursement. Accountants can use this option from the corp lossmail interface to reimburse using any wallet they have access to. The value reimbursed can be manually input, but defaults to the mineral value of the hull, or a percentage thereof stored in cache memory. Reimbursement in this way can only happen once, or at the very least the KM gets flagged as reimbursed. I like the concept of the idea (easy reimbursement tool), but the proposed form is to easily abused.

It's a good idea that could be iterated on to fix most of the objections.

I always thought the "sandbox" would be better if EVE started incorporating some of the best, long lasting ideas into the game itself.

For example, adding EVEMon and EFT to the game itself, with a web-client attached to EVEGate and a stand-alone app still available for when you're not in-game. For some reason, always saw this as a feature that could exist at terminals in stations, along with Blink Lounges :)

But back to the point, it would be a nice feature if killmails could, at the touch of a button, be submitted in-game to a "SRP" queue in Corporation Management. People with the SRP role would be able to filter the results of any submitted killmails, and could either approve the reimbursement (at a default rate set by the corp or by a manually adjusted rate) or deny the reimbursement and autosend an evemail to the pilot (with a default message that could also be manually adjusted if further explanation was required).

Instead of having to go to a third party website, dead pilots could just click a button on their loss mail; trusted corporate servants could mass approve (or deny) requests in-game, assuming the appropriate wallet had sufficient funds, and instantly fire off bundles of isk for more ships. Or hell, add the option to not send isk, but instead auto-generate a contract for an already purchased, pre-fitted ship at a certain station, if your corp wants another option for managing their SRP.

Honestly, a pretty good idea. So it won't get far :)

Never has your sig more appropriately followed on from your post.
