but since Concord and the sentry guns are going to be beefed up even more next patch...
Perhaps that is even MORE reason for insurance to be in the game.

Uzael, it's the advantage received when the devs take a dump in their code to completely **** the game up.
You know a game "feature" is complete **** when people consider it a winning strategy to repeatedly ******* lose
So that's why there was a Curse Alliance - a cunning insurance scam!

Mega-corps don't need to rely on insurance scams for battleship replacements.
It's probably smaller less-efficient corps. that do it/rely on it.

Eve is going, but not because of insurance. You can't make large amounts of money from it. Lack of new content and action is going to kill Eve. Insurance is the main reason there is as much action as there is.
Very much the other way.
Insurance takes away the exitement and content in the game.
Don't remove insurance.
Just tweak it so that, while you can't make a profit from it, you certainly won't be left destitute.
Make the maximum insurance cover 60% of the cost of a ship.
The insurance cover should be linked to the average price of battleships Universe-wide at time of insurance purchase?

For those of you who don't understand the problem, I'm gonna write down a scenario:
Corporation A consists of hardcore gamers. But during the last week members from corp B, which are n00bs, has been harrasing corp A, with lots of smacktalk. So corp A decides to show corp B that they really are n00bs.
The situation leads to a big battle between the corps, where both corps have 10 battleships present.
Due to the fact that corp A are hardcore gamers and corp B n00bs, the battle ends in a crushing defeats for corp B. The score is 10-3.
So corp A asks corp B: "Now, who are the n00bs? Gonna take ya some time to recover from that, right? :D".
Then corp B answers: "HAHAHA, no, we only lost 50M isk, you're the n00bs". Because corp B doesn't loose anything from loosing the ships due to the insurance, and as all n00bs they were fitted with equipment not worth more than 5M per ship.
Corp A then realize how ****** up this game is and will probably quit the game quite soon, since each of their ships carried equipment worth 60M each.
So despite corp A winning the battle with 10-3, corp A lossed 180M isk while corp B only lossed 50M isk.
Without insurance n00b corp B wouldn't dare say boo to a goose and we'd all end up mining in our battleships.
