Will the insurance premium go up the more you lose your ship?asked by Professor

TL;DRNot decided or balanced yet; premiums might rise for fraud-like behavior such as ramming, but players shouldn't be punished for simply being unlucky.

So that's a pretty good question. We haven't fully balanced that sort of stuff yet. We've has discussions about obviously if someone is constantly losing their ship or ding dumb things like ramming into other people then there should be a penalty because that would happen in the real world and you don't want to encourage bad behavior, you just don't' want to punished someone for being unlucky and happening to get attacked. Because whether it's NPCs or players, you've still lost your ship. So we still have to balance that, but I would say that the general idea is if there is sort of a sniff of something like insurance fraud or bad behavior, then maybe the insurance premium would go up to dissuade you from doing things like using your ship as a ramming weapon in dogfighting. But not fully decided. That will be balance thing that we'll tune as we go along.
