What can you tell us about how ship renting will work? How does insurance work? If I destroy a rental ship, am I going to end up paying for it?
TL;DRRentals are currently planned to work like a short-term purchase, so a destroyed rental ship can be claimed back rather than paid for, though durations and edge cases are still undecided.
No. So the idea right now is that it's almost like purchasing it for three days, five days, seven days. Right now, that's the concept of it, and it's currently being worked on by that team. So the goal is that you rent for X amount of days, and in the first release, it might be three days or it might be seven days, or it might be that we give you a multitude of choices, whether that be one day up to 30 days or six months or whatever. It's something that we need to talk about as far as the amount of days, to really say, OK, we feel like this is the sweet spot. I think Tony and I were basically talking about one, three, seven, just in the short term, to let people try it out. And then even from there, be able to go through and say, if the ship blows up, then you claim it, you get it back. And so it would work just like a short-term purchase for right now. And then there's some edge cases that obviously we still need to work through, and the user experience of it. So saying, OK, well, your ship needs to be returned to this ASOP terminal or needs to be landed, and what happens with the cargo associated with it, or all these other kind of wonderful things that we have to deal with within this game. But those are all things that, as we're testing it, there will be those edge cases that come up that we haven't thought about and we haven't talked about, and we'll have to solve those.
