So if you purchase a battleship then pay for the Plat insurance and self destruct it.
You get back more then the cost of the insurance + the cost of the battleship ?

Does anyone see something I am missing?

He's talking complete ****. You could make a few million at most from each ship you did this with when the ship price was crap, but in order to make tens of billions you'd have to do this thousands of times!

For this reason I say this guy is talking out of his

Who said insurance fraud was not an exploit?

Here is my add for minerals:

I had 40 manufacturing slots at the time and kept them building 24/7 for months, along with multiple alts to do the ship destruction and salvaging.

I hope to do this again some day, even if I don't make too much isk.

Who said it was?

An exploit (from the verb to exploit, in the meaning of using something to oneGÇÖs own advantage) is a piece of software, a chunk of data, or sequence of commands that takes advantage of a bug, glitch or vulnerability in order to cause unintended or unanticipated behaviour to occur on computer software, hardware, or something electronic (usually computerised).

I did. Maybe we should look at some definitions. The one below is from wikipedai. And just to clarify, banhammer or confiscation etc. does not define an exploit.

u mad bro?

It's an exploit, get over it and go do something productive.

CCP said so when I asked :)

I guess we should just ban unanticipated behavior and making money in Eve. Clearly doing any of that is an illegal exploit.

CCP did not determine insurance fraud an exploit, ever, as they never banned, removed assets from, or otherwise punished individuals who profited on a vast scale from the insurance mechanic. They never said it was an exploit, in any way, shape, or form. Therefore, it was not an exploit.

Well the done. You made a small amount of ISK and the fact that you went into it with 40 manufacturing slots working 24/7 demonstrates beyond any reasonable doubt that you are a complete **** moron!

I didn't just do it to make isk, I did it to prove that the game was broken too since CCP did not agree.

That kind of define it as an exploit don't you think?

An exploit, in video games, is the use of a bug or design flaw including glitches, rates, hit boxes, or speed, etc. by a player to their advantage in a manner not intended by the game's designers.[1]

Not really since I did nothing outside the design of the system. If I found a way to make the feature not work as intended, like some way to collect the insurance money without losing the ship, or insure multiple ships at once, or insure a ship for free... it would be an exploit, but doing exactly what CCP intended, just on a larger scale is not.
