Areas that statistically have more road accidents and vehicle-related crime affect how much car insurance you have to pay (where I live anyway). Imagine having to pay more for insurance in systems that have high levels of ship and pod kills. |

Not very. I have a 7:1 Kill/Loss Ratio. Even better if you don't count my pod losses and notice that I've never killed a pod, myself. That moment when you realize the crazy lady with all the cats was right... |

Well if you want to carry it further what if insurance subrogated for kills. By this I mean, in real life when an insurer pays you for a loss it then gets the right to pursue the wrongdoer for the loss. How ****** would gankers and highsec wardeccers be?

They don't pay insurance for suicide ganks, so it would have almost no effect on me.
Edit: Although it would make my ganking slightly more damaging, so thats a plus. |

Ok sir, we added that MWD to your premium. That adds an extra 50,000 isk per month. EVE's only legitimate ISK halving service. I have 50Billion to not give away. It's easy for you to double my money. Just send me some isk, has to be 100Mil or higher, and I will send you back half. I can't lose. One guaranteed winner every round. Do it now. |

I never insure my ships... Insurance would cost me about 5 bil per month, and I rarely lose 1/10 of that per month. So wouldnt change a thing for me! |

Also, it would be moderately amusing if there was a 20% chance the insurance payment gets denied for spurious reasons - "you filled in the wrong date of birth, that was your last clone", "an eye-witness report states you were warping over the speed limit for that system", "your ship is equipped with an unacceptable modification, the small print expressly states the fitting of a 'Damage Control 2' voids your policy".

That would be the most common reason for denial of a payout, surely? It's just like a driving licence for highsec. . -á<- Argue this, not this ->-á( -í-¦ -£-û -í-¦) |

Confirming EVE Central Bank is bankrupt.
Also, used to be that you would make ISK by buying a ship, insuring it and setting it to self-destruct.. you would only make about 50k isk by doing this but just goes to show how effective insurance was back then! |
