Update Reverted insurance changes in Gamma 2.06

Edward Lewis · Dec 16, 2014

Hi everyone,

In Gamma 2.06 last night we made a server-side change that made the ship insurance apply only to the ship, and not to all the add-on modules as it had done previously. This has now been reverted on the live servers to as it was before 2.06.

The team have been working exceptionally hard, so we appreciate your patience - thanks for being tolerant!

Cheers,

Ed

I think this is quite funny, all the moaning about it can stop now.

Don't let the bar stewards grind you down!

Yeah go to bed. You've been working way too hard.

And I was all "easy come, easy go" over this, I think however this will make a lot of players happy.

Thanks for the update.

Thank you.

Good change. A second look (after you guys get some sleep and some xmas food in you) at insurance balancing may be needed. Some folk are refusing to move up from Viper/Cobra because of the exorbitant insurance cost vs income disparity.

whew....thank goodness!

beelbeebub · Dec 16, 2014

Although I didn't really care about the change either way, may I ask, was the change an accident or was it reverted due to the frothing from the community?
.
I think a number of forum members owe FD apologies.....

Thanks team, you've made my launch day with this news

lightninboy · Dec 16, 2014

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thanks for the revert, even though I wouldn't have minded paying more CR.

On the subject of such changes though, please do try to gauge the community first before touching things that were part of the KS or preorder description text. It'll save a lot of drama.

Once again, I don't care about this personally. It's not a big deal to me. But some people purchased beta on the basis of this marketing promise, and it's pretty rude and unpleasant to dismiss their legitimate concerns as "frothing at the mouth". It doesn't do much to make this community seem like a welcoming place.

Much hearts to you from this Alpha backer.

It wouldn't really have bothered me, though. Playing occasionally since Alpha and gradually building up the gameplay skills and knowledge of this game, I don't intend to destroy my ship anytime soon.
