I add some risk to the gameplay on the classic way.
I bought a Python yesterday just after I reached the price with 2 millions long. I could have built up more money in my T-7 but I decided to stir up the game and put something on stakes because lately there's nothing on stakes really in ED.
Now I provoke my faith and fly without insurance, spending all my money on cargo and modules when I can afford.
It's clear what consequences I can have if I loose everything but the last dime but this workaround makes the game brighter and keeps me more focused.
So I can only recommend it for those sunken into the mild comfort of Elite Not-Really-Dangerous.
My first interdictor was an Asp while I was scooping fuel. I had nothing but the 2 stock pulse lasers and all stock modules. That was a fight I'll remember!
I killed the NPC pirate with the most elegance possible and have to say even the stock shields of the Python can blunt my stakes. (Hence I call it Aluminium mode rather than iron.)
The Python is a lovely ship by the way. It's terrible in jumping distance (now my regular trade route of 3 jumps feels like I cross the galaxy) but I'm not in the hurry anywhere. And I really do have 7-8 minutes to fuel up by a sun after I saw the first fuel bill of nearly 100k for 24 ly.
So what can happen?
1. I slowly manage to build up a little cash and develop the ship towards a safer barge and will have it for a looong time.
2. I'll fail and have to sit back to the Sidewinder with lovely memories of once having a Python. (This outcome also has a bit of charm to be honest.)
What I can promise: I'll not open a topic about how unfair ED is with the insurance system I read and understood the terms and conoditions and made my decision under no pressure, by my own will.
Ok, have to go and start the engines...
