The whole idea of the topic is wrong, so no support.
However, nerf insurance payout. And yes, that means for miners, missioneers and all in general. Afterall, if your stupid enough to endanger your ship to npc pirates, you should not get any payment at all, just like if concord nukes you.
Afterall, its not suppose to be a fluffy lala-land.

Originally by: Anna Lifera 2. and no one suicide ganks empty haulers.
It happened to me 4 times in the last 2 weeks (Jita going to Amarr forth and back), and i had close to nothing (10 million cargo) in my ship. One time i was sitting in an empty hauler, the other itme i had stuff for like 1 million in cargo.
So just because it didn't happen to you, doesn't mean that it doesn't happen at all. (Btw i wasn't afk and my hauler *WAS* tanked, pvp buffered.)
If the insurrance covers criminal activities and even makes it a good business to suicide gank, then this game mechanic lacks all logic and realism. And before you answer, that Eve is not realstic, let me tell you - and you know this very well: Eve imitates and mimics real life economics.

Damn that is completely insane, this is the best example of why insurance should be removed for concord related events!

You forget that a lot of so called "carebears" keep Eve fine and dandy runnning. I even don't get all of this "carebear" calling.
This thread is about ppl moving around in high sec, not in Delve or Fountain, my friend. It's decouraging, should a newbie lose everything he/she collected, due to some kid suicide ganking in high sec without real penalty and even making a fortune out of the insurance payment. No risk involved.

1. how many times do i have to say this? high sec is NOT a sanctuary. 2. care to link the lossmails? 3. by your logic, any pvp at criminally flags at all would void insurance. but if u wanted realism like that, insurance wouldn't exist on any ship. it might be to your liking as a carebear but then again, pvp is a major facet in eve so that's not gonna happen. 4. so it's the ganker's fault some carebears r so stupid? 5. and what about the fact that it's sci-fi? hmm? that's what i thought.

1. and the pvpers r the consumers. 2. high sec is not a sanctuary. 3. a newb wouldn't have 100 mil+ in assets. 'cause at that point, he should've already learned a thing or two, even if it's the hard way. 4. it's an intended mechanic, with sec penalties imposed as its limitation. if u think it's so riskless, go ahead and try suicide ganking a newb ship. go ahead and keep doing it. then go rat to get back the sec status and see if it was worth it.

Suicide ganking is an art, but insurance shouldn't be paid to you if CONCORD destroys your ship. If you initiate the attack in 0.0 and are still destroyed, yea, get your insurance, but if CONCORD blows your stuff up, insurance should be dismissed.

1. and the pvpers r the consumers that keep eve fine and dandy running as well. it's not so much the carebears hate any form of pvp 'cause technically, they're competing against each other to get their items sold. it's 'cause they refuse to learn and do anything about being ganked themselves and just ***** to ccp to hold their hand. 2. high sec is not a sanctuary. 3. a newb wouldn't have 100 mil+ in assets.

Ratting is a reward in itself, with added bonus of sec status, I don't see it as a penalty at all.
It is also not about realism but about balance, currently the balance of risk vs reward is skewed, and should be restored.

Agree with proposal. Insurance system must be revamped, so no pay off for self-distract or CONCORD kills, slightly less ISK for T1 and more for T2 and T3.

Originally by: Admiral Byng I am sure that this is in here, but it makes sense and I didn't see it in the first 3 pages.
Concorde needs to stop paying out insurance for ships that Concorde killed. I am OK with a group of pirates killing an Itty 5 for the 5 bil in cargo the guy is moving AFK. But 10 people in t1 battleships shouldn't be able to gang up on someone's mission/exploration ship and get virtually all their cost refunded.
So what you're saying is you approve of people losing billions because they have things to do in real life while it's unfair for people to do the same to you because you're not AFK? Auto pilot was made for a reason, and that reason is people are busy and don't have time for some of the crap EVE makes them do.

Suicide Ganking is easy because you get back the amount of ISK spent for your ship (minus mods if you go all tech 2) via insurance payouts.
lose insurance... now its not cheaper anymore.
No one said you couldn't suicide gank..... just means it has to take a larger dent to your precious wallet.
Drake - you just don't get it. I am *not* trying to be mean or snide, but you don't. During Hulkageddon, we killed the majority of Hulks/Macs with four or five, cheap, t-1 fit catalysts.
1M, 1.5M for hulls, and 1.5M for mods. Insurance was kewl, but not necessary. Get a t-2 strip to drop or a t-2 hardener, pretty much paid for hulls, mods and some leftover. So insurance was not an issue.
Now, if those ships were 500K ea., it would be harder to do for free, but still *not* impossible. Losing insurance would not have entered into the equation, and if insurance was removed, it still wouldn't have changed a thing.

I think the issues as they're presented have been pretty well thrashed out, so I'll spare you my views -- they aren't unique.
What concerns me though, is that all of these decisions seems to ignore a couple of fundamentals of gaming, most notably the ongoing development of new players. Calculating how much an in-game miner affects the in-game economy is interesting; but let's also look at how those accounts affect the overall EVE picture in terms of long term existence.
Historically, roughly 5 years in and an MMO starts to be "at risk". Around this time, most MMOÆs have run up on the rocks, and in most cases it has to do with diminishing player community and recruitment. If the game changes in such a way that a class of character becomes extinct, that can start to decay the entire game. LetÆs face it û EVE needs miners and mission runners and especially noobs. Wipe out any class and you put the game at risk. Anyone want to take a look at that?

Edited by: Sanpaku Deska on 02/03/2010 17:40:41 One other thing: ItÆs interesting to note that removing ceilings and floors on various commodities does in fact affect the economy here. Note however that when ALL prices fall, youÆre not correcting; youÆre in a deflationary spiral. And EVE most definitely is in deflation. Reduction in the price of Tritanium, for instance, is utterly meaningless unless you consider it in terms of the overall economy. Minerals are down. And so are ships. And components. Undsovetterà Be careful what major economic cogs you recommend changing now. Unless theyÆre considered in terms of the overall economy, the results may be both surprising -- and grisly.

Originally by: CSM Summit Minutes The CSM brought up the issue of suicide ganking and feels it is too easy. The main problem is that this is in effect subsidized by insurance. CCP is aware of the issue and has discussed it at great length in-house. CCP feels it absolutely needs to compensate newbies that attack players by mistake in high-sec. This may get changed in the future but not in the summer expansion. It was made clear that suicide ganking is an accepted game mechanic.
Dohohohoho.
Can we put this issue to bed now?

Yes! Anyone who disagrees should read the fine print in their car insurance policy. It's like using your car to smash the front door of a banks so you can rob it and then asking insurance to pay for the dent.
And can we maybe look in to buffing Hulks? for how much they are worth they sure as hell are not 'able to withstand the dangers off deep space'. Anybody other then me think its idiotic that you can muck a 150 mil ship with 15 mil worth of gank in less then a few minutes?
Suicide ganking is as silly as the name implies. You attack a ship get blown up and then Concord does nothing to your pod as if it was your ship that committed the crime and not you. I say once ure ship is popped, concord should be able to catch you and arrest you. Then you either make bail or your char sits in the can for a few days. Get caught again and this time you sit for a week or two and so on.

Duh, that is so dumb ...
So they rather have newbies getting blown up by suicide gankers hmm ...
If they are scared that newbies leave the game they should fix the sound engine !

THat's totally dumb.
How often newbies have to confirm, that tehy want to do something that is involving COncord action? 2 times? Three times?
It's like the big red button, with some text in capital letters clost to it reading: "If you press this button, the universe will blow up, are you sure about that?"
After you pressed the button another button appears asking you to confirmoif you are REALLY sure about that...
In my opionion, the following happend in the CSM/CCP discussion: The PvP-CSMler don't wan this to change, that's it.
BUt that does not matter, it is not logic, since newbies will not leave the game after acknowledging four times, that they want to blow stuff up. they will leave, if they become suicide ganked. And suicide ganked is backed up by a juicy insurrance payout. Thats stupid.

I dont think touching insurance should do it, because every once and a while I lose a ship to npc's and i'd like to get the insurance from that.
I think its a simple UI change.
Try this as a message box :

if u leave because u can't take what u dish out, then that's your problem. pvp goes both ways, in case u didn't know. so once again, by all means, go ahead and suicide a newb ship if u think it's so profitable 'cause i don't see anyone posting threads crying about having their rookie ship suicide ganked.
