It's not lost on me. It's just not something I see as a balancing problem. Where is the imbalance?
Who said anything about imbalance? Honestly, it's about risk vs reward, something that is crowed about on a regular basis on these forums and in-game. A suicide ganker risks little in reality...a ship and some sec status. The ship is an expected loss, calculated and factored in and sec status is pretty much the same. Short of those two things, there is no real risk involved in a suicide gank, because for the most part, the ship is covered by insurance. So by removing insurance for criminal activities, the risk is actually increased, and closing the disparity of risk vs reward somewhat. It's not going to stop it, but for some, it will make them think twice before opening fire because the chance for a return may not always be there anymore. Sooner or later, if you gratuitously fire on every ship you see, you may end up in the red faster than before the insurance change.
Honestly Tip, I've been watching this thread purely for your responses. You say they aren't tears, but you seem awfully invested in it, even if you are intending to troll. The best trolls fire off a shot in the forums and sit back and watch the mayhem unfold. The truly butthurt pipe up every few posts, and you got that to a tee. For the most part, I enjoy your posts in general, but I'm sensing a whole lot of angst here.
The insurance change is welcome to me. I believe that it will balance out the incidents of ganks and make it a truly relevant profession, because like salvaging, it is a profession. I wouldn't want it to end, but it's like saying the F word repeatedly...sooner or later, it loses any real meaning and becomes more annoying than edgy or relevant.
