[Several chat questions:] What about the recent comments on the insurance system, pirated ships and spawning?

TL;DRRecent insurance and piracy comments described how stolen ships work in the current and next few releases, not the long-term design, which hasn't changed as far as they know; more is promised on Reverse the Verse.

I see a lot of questions coming in about recent comments as far as the insurance system, and pirated ships and spawning and whatnot. This is a good time to say that we're going to have more information on that on Friday's Reverse the Verse, so you're going to want to tune into that. We have Todd Papy and Brian Chambers, who are our guests on Reverse the Verse Friday, and we're going to talk all about our future plans for piracy and stuff like that. But I can tell you now that the comments that you saw on Spectrum are very much speaking in the same regard. Will Maiden was speaking about current implementations of insurance and how stolen ships work in 3.0, in 3.1, in 3.2, but not the long-term design of the system. There have not been any changes to the long-term design that we're aware of at this point, and we will ask Todd Papy to clarify that on Friday. That whole thing with the piracy and the insurance, he's talking about how it is in 3.0 and 3.1. And it's a follow-up to the conversation we had on another Subscriber's Town Hall back in November, where we perhaps made it a little more clear then that we were talking about 3.0, 3.1, 3.2 and not the long-term design.
