Ok, I'm totally new to this game, have done only like 5 missions and I just switched ships. My new ship is an Executioner. The ship's insurance costs over 16 billion or something like that. I really didn't read the acutal numbers, but I believe that I seen the insurance pay out like $52 billion. Again, didn't read the actual numbers, but realized after the transaction was done, and that that after the ship was destroyed, I'd profit like 37 billion profit from getting ganked. Is that possible? Is it legal? Is it against the game rules? Please advise...Thanks... |

Hehe, no those are not actual numbers.
Insurance payout and premiums are based on the average price of the ship. You will have a hard time finding a ship that pays out more in insurance than what you put into it from buying the ship and insurance.
If you happen to come across a cheap ship, you might turn a profit by insuring it and getting it killed, but you would most likely get more money out of just selling the ship on the market. |

Look again.
Insurance on a Executioner won't even be near 1 bil let alone 16bil.
More likely to be 16mil...........
Otherwise I would buy a executioner and loose it to my alt, so I can buy more capitals =) Inject your skillbook before you leave the station.

It's a t1 frigate, so I highly doubt it's even that much, maybe 1.6m or even 160k |

Yeah, like I said, I wasn't really paying attention, and after I paid for the insurance, I thought back, and said to myself, HUH? But from now on, I'll pay attention to details.. Thanks again for the replies.... |

For the record, in the old days people would build ships (shuttles were good for this if I remember), insure them and self-destruct them making more isk than was possible by just selling the minerals to NPC or players. This was basically the mineral price floor of the market and was possible as insurance payout was fixed. These days it is no longer the case and insurance payouts will fluctuate depending on market prices. In some instances you will make money this way as it is dynamic but it will be a rare event and spread over a long time. During the FW loyalty point debacle the Goons managed to do something like this by manipulating the market and then killing their own hideously valuable ships for even more isk than they were worth making billions. That should no longer be possible. FIRE FRIENDSHIP TORPEDOES ! Louis's epic skill guide v1.1 |

From October 2009 to May 2010, before insurance got nerfed, people had dedicated production lines building and self-destructing* battleships. And not just one or two battleships, but thousands per day.
*(Or getting them destroyed by CONCORD, gate guns, or other means.) It is never too late to turn from the errors of your ways: He who repents of his sins is almost innocent.
