Amrak Dab	Posted - 2007.05.27 03:51:00 - [1] Will choosing to make my ship self destruct net me the insurance money or does that void the policy? Also, do insurance rates rise if my ships get blown up a lot?
Daedalus DuGalle Gallente University of Caille	Posted - 2007.05.27 04:05:00 - [2] 1) you get isk if you self-destruct 2) insurance rates are fixed

Also, do insurance rates rise if my ships get blown up a lot? Why would you self destruct your ship, your going to lose money if you do, since the cost insurance is only worth the base price of the ship you would lose.

Why would you self destruct your ship, your going to lose money if you do, since the cost insurance is only worth the base price of the ship you would lose. Because the base price may be higher than the market price. I used to get It. Then It changed. Now I don't even know what It is.

Why would you self destruct your ship, your going to lose money if you do, since the cost insurance is only worth the base price of the ship you would lose. Because the base price may be higher than the market price. You will be hard pressed to find a ship whose base price is higher than its market value plus its insurance fee...
Volster Amarr J.I.T. Enterprises	Posted - 2007.05.27 08:32:00 - [6] no, but if your after just a "money for nothing" scam, repeatedly self destructing noob ships should net you 1 trit at a time

Gojyu	Posted - 2007.05.28 03:37:00 - [10] Edited by: Gojyu on 28/05/2007 03:36:38 I'm considering doing the this in my next few weeks. Here's a scenario when it would come in handy 1) One of your old ships (in my case, a thorax) has an insurance pay out of 7mil, but only costs 5-6mil to purchase 2) The insurance contract is running out OR 3) I never fly the ship anymore, it's just collecting dust in my hangar 4) Strip ship, Self destruct- get insurance pay out for useless ship/ship you were going to have to reinsure anyway 5) Profit

Don't bother, when I was alot noob'er (and when Pyerite was 4 ISK instead of 9) I found that I could buy an Incursus, insure it, and pop it, coming out 40K-50K ahead. It was better money than running level 1 missions. Just to make sure I wasn't "cheeting" I filed my own petition. Not an exploit: if someone want to sell you the ship that cheap, it is his loss, was the basic reasoning give by the GM.

You take a one time sec hit for agro'ing. If you undock again within the 15 minute timer, you will get poped again, and the timer gets reset. You also get some type of kill rights against the sentries, as you don't get hit with another sec hit if you reengage the sentries after the timer runs out. The sentries will kill you a lot faster than the 2 minute count down for self destruct. Originally by: Shadarle Basing a business on others stupidity seems quite lucrative in the EVE economy
