Insurance Equality for all players !

[Evil]

Would you like a way to obtain the same low insurance that other players have?

Should the insurance costs be exactly the same for every player, we are all equal right?

Currently there are 3 tiers of insurance levels namely alpha/beta/release, players who purchased the game after release pay around double the insurance that alpha players do, I personally feel this is unjust and could be an unfair advantage that may become more apparent over the games life span.

The solution, allow players to obtain the same level of insurance within gameplay somehow, this could be through dedicated missions, or even pilot ranking.

Insurance should be bought with Credits imo, from factions that dont hate you, with a discount if they like you.

You didnt support the game before release. Why should you get one of the incentives for supporting it for free? I vote no.

I don't care if backers get a better insurance price. Really. How often do you blow up your ship anyways? I've lost my type7 last year and had to start again from the Asp, but never have I thought "man I wish those backers had the same insurance prices as I do".

Some people never even knew about the game at that point, i dont hold it againts them.

Nope. Alpha/beta backers paid more for this game than normal release players. They also tested it and had more resets that you could imagine. It's a perk we earned.

They are also the reason the game even exists.

Those players that get the lower Insurance costs earned them buy investing in the game, long before they or any one could play it. I, by the way missed out on that opportunity, and only started playing at release. Their early money was instrumental in getting this game in our hands. Changing that now would be betraying the promise made to them by FD, when they plunked down their money, and had to wait, some of them for two years, to play.
.
A 5% insurance deductible is fair enough. Please don't start an 'us against them' feud over a few measly percentiles of the cost of your ship.

The perk that's irritating me is the Sol permit, as I have no clue how to attain it.

Backers put money into an game that maybe will be made, so they shoudl have somethign out of it

sol permit is easy, run mission (trade pirate hunt what ever) for the feds.
Took me two days to gain sol and i was not trying hard.

What if they could buy the insurance level in the cash shop ? would that be ok with you ? Its extra money for FD.

Micro-transactions for ship insurance have been specifically ruled out.

Hello Commander xtridence!

We will *not* be introducing micro-transactions to cover ship insurance!

It's not that big of a deal, but having it unlockable from, perhaps, some mission from the Pilot's Federation (meaning you first need to attain Elite in either exploration, trading, or combat) would be cool. This thread's poll will be very unbalanced as I'm sure more backers are active on this forum than random newbies. Backers will have the tendency of voting "no" to protect their precious advantage.

If it cost equal to what the Founders/Backers et. al. paid. It could be considered, but in the end, it should be a perk and stay a perk.

What is your fascination with this? Would a few percent off your Deductible really mean a lot to you? I can't see it mattering to me really.

 

[OneAmongOthers]

5% is hardly a cost... I don't see a reason to change anything. Backers paid for early access, backed the game. So they deserve a bonus for it.

 

[Zvanya]

That would result in Frontier reneging on their commitment to provide those players with discount insurance. Why would you advocate they do that?

When it all sorts out, this poll is meaningless. I can almost guarantee FD will not even consider anything like this. Not for a very very long time. The game is only two months old, and you don't anger your devoted customers like that. It just doesn't wash.

Could maybe be bought as an 'extra' or such? I don't mind not having it, but yeah it would be kinda nice, especially once you get the more expensive ships.

 

[Bozeman42]

I would accept it if this happened, but I certainly don't demand it.

 

[Darian]

With Elite in trade exp or fighting you attain acces to 10% of ships, so your insurance goes down (cheaper ship)
Not as much probably but backers should have there special perks

 

[Intents]

I voted no and i'm not an alpha/beta backer they supported the game and they get a perk for risking their 'real' time and money. Without them none of us might have had the chance to play.
