Private insurance

How about a new deployable for corporations and alliances to offer ship insurance. Maybe set up one per constellation or maybe per system but with some kind of main branch/remote branches deal. Options so you can open to public or just offer private insurance. Let groups determine insurance package payouts backed by their own ISK reserves.
Streamline SRP, fat banks to rob or blow up. New toys for to play.

*by deployable I mean a structure you would have to deploy and defend.

Corp

Project

Corp projects allow you to set up private insurance for your corp members to automatically pay out under certain conditions.

I’m not sure about the specifics as I never set it up myself, but I did get some ISK payout for losing ships that way before.

but you can’t shoot a corp project. You can do SRP now and its great, better than insurance usually with more features but its external and you can’t rope it into your fights.

So if I get it correctly, not only do you want private insurance, you also want it to be a target for players to shoot?

Corp projects already cover the private insurance part, so the only thing you say you are missing is that you cannot shoot corp projects.

When I fly through space I already see plenty of deployable targets to shoot. Dockable Upwell structures, infrastructure like Ansiblex jump gates, bigger income sources like Skyhooks and Metenox moon drills and many smaller targets as well like Mercenary Dens, Mobile Warp Disruptors and the occasional Mobile Observatory… I think the game has plenty of deployables to shoot already.

why would anyone put money in such a thing?
the only incentive this would give is to you trying to destroy it. that’s not how anything works.

for others to put money in there needs to be some incentive.

That would be like keeping my ISK and PLEX in a deployable structure for anyone to come along and rob or blow up. No thanks…

um making isk by selling insurance would be the incentive. more automation for SRP would be the incentive. most industry requires some player structures and these things generate gameplay. Insurance does not generate any game play.

I don’t get how you got from my idea to this statement since it didn’t mention storing plex in the structure or somehow putting your wallet in there to localize you ISK but whatever. I think there is some room to externalize a game mechanic, i.e insurance and you obviously do not.

“insurance” for structures exists … pay mercs don’t get blown up :wink:
