I'd support removing concord if you could no longer biomass negative sec status and neg sec status wasn't allowed in high sec and trials were weapons locked in HS against players. Then suicide all you want, but farm back up your rep. Imagine playing Donkey Kong where every barrel looks like it hits you. Would you rather I fix the barrels or Kong's shadow?

I hope they add a smarter concord AI, they should never chase an Ibis. Imagine playing Donkey Kong where every barrel looks like it hits you. Would you rather I fix the barrels or Kong's shadow?

It will change the amount of suicide ganks by exactly zero.
The only difference is the players who have been calling for this will now be lulled into a sense of "more security" in high-sec.
They have been under the perception that insurance payouts make some huge difference when it comes to someone taking out their Hulk, which is utter crap. Once you get into ships that are somewhere above newbie-ship, insurance payouts become unbalanced, and in the end you lose money on a gank, regardless of insurance.
Sure, it may pay a small amount back, but the people who do this aren't exactly newbs most of the time, and generally have an alt/corp/alliance with a bank full of isk to back them up.
It would be interesting to see just how many gank ships are even insured in the first place.
I disagree with Tippia here. This move makes high-sec less safe, just as she'd like to see.
Insurance payouts removed = false sense of security for carebears = easier targets. unfortuneatly self destruction noobs still get insurance pay outs. i tested it on the sisi server with a thanny.
Should be immediately ended!

Insurance for Self Destruct is EQUALLY SILLY.
Please remove it as well. Imagine playing Donkey Kong where every barrel looks like it hits you. Would you rather I fix the barrels or Kong's shadow?
