Update Reverted insurance changes in Gamma 2.06

Thank you - I apologize for doubting you. I guess I was just too cynical from being royally (unprintable) by other game companies.
 
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.

Yeah might have been a tad strong on my part - changed that :)
 
I was actually ok about this since I am worried about inflation in the game and people having many millions of credits already. Credit sinks, like insurance, wear and tear and fuel are one way to keep our profits manageable...

It seemed harder back in 1084.

That said the part of me who wants every credit can can find, approves this decision!!! :)

Top job! I hadn't noticed the issue myself but the collective knickers of some commenters will be untwisted now!
I hope everyone at Frontier Towers have cakes. You deserve it :)
 
the right decision, credit when credit is due.

now, can i make a claim to be reimbursed for the ridiculously high insurance fee i was charged last night when i pranged my cobra?
 
I think this is quite funny, all the moaning about it can stop now.

Nah, now we'll get the crowd that complain it's cheaper to crash and revive on insurance than repair, so why arn't repair costs cheaper. Someone ought to tell them it's not real money, it's a game FCS! Some people just have to have something to complain about.:rolleyes:
 
Good. I'd avise you next time you plan to do something lile this to ask first and never try to pass ninja updates this way. It will never end good. You want to test something ? Announce it, test it, and then act on it. Kneejerk changes are never good, and your reputation took a big hit because of this.
 
I loved Elite 1084 edition. Earth being the flat disc at the center of the universe was so much less stressful on my gpu! Yes I know it was an innocent typo but a medieval version of Elite is kinda fun.

Thank you Edward and the whole FD team for an amazing Game ! Keep up the Good Work! :)

I know it have been lately and probably will be a day or two more a bit "challenging" days but hopefully you can have X-mas holidays !
 
Thankyou as quite a lot of people only paid the extra for the discount on the entire insurance cost. So thankyou for giving back what people thought they paid for.

That was the morally right thing to do and it is appriciated that you did that.
 
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

Thank you for these good news. I'd still be interested to hear why the change was made in the first place, but in any case I am glad we are back to normal.:)
