The only reason for me is the lti. You understand the ship will face attacks eventually, so having insurance is essential. I’m not sure whether I should go mining.
Purchase according to your actual career path within the game, not just initial price.
This vessel is impressive, but I'm waiting to add it to the game until I purchase the Carrack.
This path seems aimed at building manufacturing capabilities and improving repair services. A reclaimer would have been ideal, but I intend to wait for the right opportunity or challenge.
I'm actually interested in the whole mining procedure especially coming from EVE Online mining (playing solitaire while waiting for that freaking cycle to finish), but I'd rather get hired to fill in one of the roles, than to go out and buy a 260€ ship :lol: LTI is probably a good idea, since you're not only threatened by prates or Vanduul but also by drifting and exploding asteroids, but then again I don't expect insurance to be expensive in PU and mining will definitely be one of the most profitable professions, so you'll have no issues paying for it.
@[member= CommanderFett] I need to reconsider this. The main issue is overhead costs. To boost profits, avoiding expenses that seem essential is a big shift. Even if each run costs little, we’re talking about ongoing services paid for. Over time, it adds up significantly. The second concern is hull insurance likely won’t be as affordable as people assume. Replacing a ship instantly, no matter the circumstances, seems unrealistic—especially if you can lose them as often as the simulator permits. In reality, players should act more wisely and be more cautious. The situation shows they’re building a sustainable universe, so costs must reflect that. The insurance should be practical, not unlimited or overly cheap. If you have the right resources, investing in hull insurance yearly (in space-time terms) should match 2.5 to 15% of total ship expenses. Otherwise, the system would collapse under initial losses and never recover. With sufficient funds, you’d save that amount and redirect it to escorts or better insurance, increasing profit and safety. For serious miners, this sale option could be highly valuable.
I regret to hear that, but I simply can't understand your reaction. It sounds really appealing.
