If we get LTI with the Dragonfly, can we upgrade later to a much larger ship and keep the LTI?asked by Dev Wolf
TL;DRYes, upgrades carry the insurance of the base pledge, and the package with two Dragonflies and a Caterpillar is all LTI because the system can't mix insurance types within a package.
Yes, that is how the system works.
Your upgrade will always reflect the insurance of whatever your base pledge that you're upgrading from has.
And before we go into more LTI everything, I will go ahead and say that one of the packages today is two Dragonflies and a Caterpillar. We don't have a way to have separate insurances in a package, so they're all LTI. The standalone Caterpillar is just six months, but I'll just get that out there into the universe first. There is one Caterpillar that has LTI. It's a limitation of the system, not an attempt to get around our own rules.
We wanted to provide a way to get a Caterpillar and two Dragonflies at a discount.
Yeah, and it came down to we can either have them all [LTI], don't do the package, or do some sort of Frankenstein system to the package, and everybody will be writing to CS saying, well, I want the version with a discount. Can you melt my six-month Caterpillar and switch it to a [unclear]?
So within the confines of the system, because we wanted to provide people with an option to get these things at a discount, it has to have LTI.
Yeah, our other option was to do it kind of like the gun for the Buccaneer, where we would actually sell it saying it has LTI and then take it away later. It seemed like it would be really messy from the CS standpoint.
