Suggesting: Insurance paid by the perpetrator!

How about just making sure 'you' never fly without the rebuy insurance cost.........that's so simple.....maybe there's a way of implementing my idea.........oh wait.......
 
i got no problem with having enough cash to pay insurances ;) i just wanted to come up with a more fair"ish" solution for ppl ... just like on the streets out there! You know, if you crash into another car and it´s your fault ... get it ?

interesting concept, atleast with ramming. but maybe hard to determine who is at fault, unless we had rules on who enter or leaves first and so on at the letterbox.

Away from the letterbox, then i do not think it would be easy to say who rammed who, unless there are speed limit rules and lanes u have to follow.

Or the game detects u pointing ur nose at a ship + speeding up.

The Elite universe is a no-fault insurance state. Everyone pays their own way.

yea, still interresting tho.

I lost three ships so far to being rammed during combat. Little buggers realized they were about to be smashed, flip over in FA Off mode, and boosted right into me. I ticketed it, but given the extremely glacial pace of ticket responses, I don't expect an answer before the universe implodes.

Don't see how you could make it work. All someone would need to do would be to fly a vague intercept course, then swing across your bows at the last second. Boom! 2 dead ships, you're faced with the bill and a whole new method of "griefing" is born.

I can almost see the Sideys floating around near the landing pads as I type.
 
No lets now brake the game for pirates even more...

its not about breaking the game, its about making the game as believable as possible and I cannot imagine a scenario in the future where a person causing an incident is NOT held accountable - once they are caught!.

and pirates do NOT equal ship destroyers.

as for psychos... screw em, I want the game to be as hard on them as it possibly can be. They offer nothing positive to the game (imo of course) and the game should be unforgiving on them, just like society is.

If they want to live by the sword then they should be more than happy to die by it.

As for the logistics of finding fault however... that is a whole different issue and for things which cant be done fairly or mostly accurately, then I guess the status quo will remain.

Yea i guess u are right, but in thought having the guilty pay would have been nice
 
look, i posted this because i see a load of ppl on this forum complain about insurance ...

i personally don´t have a problem with that ... i was not rammed to death, didn´t crash my ship without having enough cash to "rebuy" or being shot down in a no firezone by anyone since i began playing this game in premium beta ...

I just intended to come up with an idea that could eventually bring a bit more fairness to the insurance system.

Good point about this beeing abused as well ... never had that in mind ... -.-

Best regards

p.s. this has nothing to do with piracy or miscalculating your cash for rebuy/cargo, it´s just an idea how to handle things when there´s an intentional action involved.
