For the Mining/Mineral portion of these changes. I mission and mine, how pricing for ores works now isnt too bad, if I understood it even somewhat, balancing out prices is stupid, high end ores are at a much greater risk to acquire so should get paid accordingly. Really I would adjust the NPC loot issue and be done with it.
As for the insurance, in a game that already has more bugs than the rain forest, WHY is so much effort, thought, and more issues being introduced. VERY SIMPLE INSURANCE FIX:
1.Cut off Concord, self destruct, AND possibly killed by corpmate payouts.
2.The current insurance method would work ok with a couple changes. Base insurance payout on a constant market avg of the base materials needed to build the ship. Then add to that the cost of insurance and thats the payout. That just ideas off the top of my head but you get the jist of it, even things out for market purchasable ships.
3. (This was just a side thought) For ships that pretty much can only be bought off contract, figure out an avg price over say the last yr for the ships, cut that by oh say, 50% and that's the payout. Otherwise even offering a full payout of the ship cost avg but charging say 25% of the payout amount plus increase based on pilot loss rate will make insurance a viable option but making it where there is no way of taking advantage of the system.
The numbers here are just to fill in examples, I am no expert on things but after the almost 7mnths I have been in game, that is the rough conclusion I have come up with to fix the issue.
IN ALL HONESTY, besides fixing the insurance so its a little more balanced out QUIT WITH THE DAMN EXPANSIONS!!!!!!!!!!!! THIS GAME HAS WAY TO MANY ISSUES THAT NEED TO BE FIXED FIRST JUST FOR GAME MECHANICS, leave the damn economy alone, leave the fraking planet crap alone UNTIL YOU FIX THE GAME SO THINGS WORK LIKE THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO. This game has bugs that cost players assests and in many cases, I am one that almost quite game which I play on 3 paid accounts, because CCP told me and other players I hang with to jump in a lake when a bug cost an expensive lost and we requested compensation for it. FIX THE BUGS AND YOU WONT HAVE PEOPLE LIKE ME CHEWING YOU OUT ALL THE TIME and you would keep more players in game.
