Example it costs around 37-39mil to make the drake from an unreached bpo. And the market has pretty much settles on 47-51mil per drake, well at least in my reign. Im sure the other new tier 2 battle cruisers and tier 3 battleships are the same, Insurance doesn't match even close to the price of the ship.
Yeah i know its all player based and we set the prices, but shouldn't insurance mirror that as well? Now granted i know most ship insurance doesn't match or cover the total ship, but most are within a couple mil. Which is completely do able, but not 10-12mil difference in ship and insurance coverage.
In RL you wouldn't pay for "platinum" coverage on your new BMW and it only end up covering 75% of the car. Just wondering what everyone else thinks

This is basically the same as the "OMG insure T2 ships" complaint, isn't it?

I tend to agree, I think the system of insurance does need some addressing.

No it's not, T2 insurance was never meant to be covering your ship, T1 insurance is.
The prices used to calculate the insurance and payout is the basic mineral prices from the time where minerals was sold and purchased on the market by NPC's, some of them are higher today, and some are much lower.
You can find all the base prices in the itemdatabase
Adjusting the base prices would have a very big influx in the NPC trade market, agent offers, insurance and more, so i will bet my new shiny Drake that even trough they think the T1 insurance need a boost to be par, they opt not to do it, because it has such a fundamental game impact.

Its because the mineral price spike has raised the build cost on the new ships, and because the ME of the new BPOs is low.

The price will fall, but it will be slowly. They just shelled out alot of isk for these blueprints. And on top if it, Mineral prices spiked, and if they are in production already, they are not yet researched well. I would expect to see them at production cost in about 3-6 months.

it costs a little bit more to make them, even with perfect skills....

You know, we could propose a simple solution to solve all the issues players have about insurance not covering this and that.
Remove insurance.

I dont have an issue with what isurance covers but i think it should reflect the price in which the market does. Yeah like i said even with a new bpo and perfect skills it cost about the same in insurance and building cost, no profit to be made.
thanks for the responces guys.

No, but in RL you have a deductible and the hassle of fighting with the insurance company so they actually pay you.

Insuring in this game is bullshiet(first off it should be based on how many times youve lost a ship since playing)... you pay 1/2 the cost of the ship just to insure it for a week. If you plan on owning the ship for more than 2 weeks you might as well save up for a replacement.
