You're taking it wrong. I'm not implying it's insignificant. What I mean is that you shouldn't purchase a ship solely based on having LTI. It's a great feature only if you really require it.
Already trashed my super hornet, now I just need to wait for the payday and its mine.
@ drewjn Implementing LTI on a ship is always beneficial, particularly for mining vessels that face extra risks from flying rocks. In CIGs FAQ they mention insurance costs will be minimal compared to your earnings, similar to real-world scenarios. Based on the premiums I pay versus their price, it would likely be around 1-2% monthly. If the F7C reaches 144,000 UEC or $110, the Orion might cost about 500,000 UEC in PU, making insurance around 5-10k UEC per month. With the Orion, you'd probably spend more on in-game expenses than on insurance. Most miners would probably say "bought it already" or "wish I had funds for it," just like @ CatCloud did. I'm sorry if this comes across as insensitive; this wasn't my goal.
I find the ship's appearance really appealing, especially its otherworldly vibe; bigger vessels will definitely feature in my objectives. I also believe exploring and prospecting align better with my interests than mining. On the LTI side, I think the expenses will be minimal—what matters more is how the game handles replacement time as a penalty.
They’re happy with the neat, compact ship design. Now they’re wondering where to fit this massive limb.
We built a stylish spaceship capable of moving through the verse. We lowered the roof so customers experience chronic back pain and have no space to stretch. This makes them believe the bed is a premium model.
