Hello,
The goal of this topic is should CCP allow insurance on stru in empire and low sec?
‘Stru’?
Are you talking about structures?
What would be the purpose of insurance on structures?
The purpose of insurance on ships is to reduce the stakes, so that the player can afford to lose more ships.
With structures CCP ran into issues with the opposite scenario:
players found losing structures to be too cheap and spamming structures was a combat strategy, so CCP had to add expensive lootable structure cores in order to increase the stakes and give players something to fight for when they decide to invest in a structure in space.
In other words, with the Quantum Cores update CCP added the opposite of insurance to structures.
I cannot see why adding insurance to structures now would be a good idea.
Luckily the smaller structures aren’t very expensive - the Raitaru is about the price of a well-fit cruiser and is significantly cheaper than the high-end ships used in HS like Freighters and Marauders.
And you don’t even need to afford one on your own, you likely have a corporation of players to fund and defend the structures, because you wouldn’t want to anchor a group-based objective all on your own with no way to defend it, right?
