Newcomer / Intro My Return to ED ......

A bit more about how insurance works. In your Coriolis build of your hauler, if you look at the bottom, you can see the rebuy amount. It's actually called "insurance" on that site. This same amount will show in your right hand panel.
I have checked the RH panel.
If your ship gets destroyed, you must rebuy it using that amount of credits. If you do not have the credits, you lose the ship and can only get a sidewinder in return. In your case it looks like around 37,096 credits.
My "ship" (asset) is currently worth 35,715 credits. 5% of that is 179 credits. I'm keeping a minimum of 10% (currently 358 credits) at all times.
....... I recommend having at least 3 rebuys available .......
Even if you have only one ship !

Did you realize you are ........ 4830LY east ......... 24.860LY south ....... and at a higher altitude of 789LY than COLONIA ?

I just update my inara profile and the system name Quain is currently sleeping in is called Kyloarph RD-A d1-6009
Not sure what coordinates that is.



Sorry. Had trouble up-loading it .....

The coodinates are ....-7120 : -490 : 20790. Which makes you fairly close to COLONIA. In fact very close.
How much value were:
1. the coordinate values
and
2. the information about your closeness to COLONIA ?
Thanks.

No, this is wrong. Your rebuy is 35,715. Your ship is worth about 741,000. How much credits do you have?

The total value of your Hauler including all fitted modules according to Inara is a bit over 734,000 credits. 5% of that value is your rebuy price. You need approximately 3 x 38,000 credits to cover 3 rebuys.

The information on coordinates will be useful when I arrive in the area where I want to hunt for Earth like World's and any interesting sights to see. I will use the coordinates to mark out a cube and attempt to visit every A an F class star in the cube. A and F class stars are more likely to have Earth like World's. I'll also be looking out for anything else that looks interesting. Then I'll move on to a new box.
 
Were any of the above details I've provided in the Galaxy Map:
1. New to you. YES/NO

2. Any value to you (new and old details) YES/NO

3. Did you know it was X : Z :Y and not X : Y : Z YES/NO

4. Did you know you were being shown the distance to your "home" station with the 6927.39LY YES/NO

5 Did you know what the XX : XX : XX numbers referred to. YES/NO

6. Did you know 00 : 00 : 00 referred to the coordinates of the SOL System. YES/NO

Thank you.

Funny. Your answer post has appeared above my question post ...... 🤔

Your post says YES to question 1 and 2. Thank you.

What about questions 3, 4, 5 & 6 ?
Thank you.
 
Sorry ..... as you can tell, I've had a bloody hard day.
What with the threat of home eviction ...... what else can go wrong .......

Sorry, but are you covering yourself for losing your ship 3 times, or maybe covering yourself ...... no, no forget that ......
Yes. I'm a cautious fellow, and having to go back to the starter sidewinder is something I wish to avoid at all costs. If I have just 2 rebuys, then if I lose my ship once, I have only 1 rebuy left. That's too close for comfort (for me). You may feel differently, which is fine :)

Sorry, but why do I need 3 rebuys for the loss of one ship ? Are you assuming I'm going to lose my ship 3 times ?
Early in the game I had no feel for how often I might lose a ship, so I kept enough credits for 2 to 3 rebuys. With the benefit of hindsight, credits for 2 rebuys is enough, especially considering that you don't engage in higher risk activities such as combat.
