So if I spend $140 for the Digital Colonel package I currently get 6 months of insurance for my Anvil Aerospace Hornet. If my ship gets destroyed after the 6 months, it's just.....gone? The ship ALONE is $110!!! That's $110 of REAL money....and that's before a price hike. Yes and NOH. LTI is more a little convenience that any real holy grail people make of it. The only good thing about LTI is that the ships you have with LTI insurance you will not have to bother to buy insurance inside the game with game credits. THAT IS ALL!. A ship without LTI, you will have to buy the insurance inside the game with game credits every six months. Unleast that you do not want to do it, and choose for saving a few game-bucks to take the risk and fly without having insurance of your ship, but that is only a choice. You will have the oportunity to insurance every and any ship inside the game, using game credits. As motter of fact, you are able to buy insurance for your ship, your weapons (there is not LTI for weapons), your cargo, and other things. Resuming, if you buy any package now, as NEW backer, you will get the same that everybody else but with insurance for six months for the ships, once those six months had pass you will have to buy new insurance with game credits. Another thing, any ship bought inside the game with game credits does not have LTI, even if you are an "Original" backer. I bought the Freelancer packade and added a 300i addon ship. Those are the only two ships i will have with LTI. Any other ship i will buy them inside the game, using game credits, if i make enough money, of course.

I am under the impression that the ship insurance can be bought with in game cash. The in game cash will either be what you have earned while playing/trading or for those more inclined with real world cash.
While non LTI will be a hassle, it shouldn't cost you real money.
Now personally I think any ship purchased with real world cash should have LTI. The only reason I purchased the Aurora, beyond crowd funding was because of the LTI.

What wait now... Ingame insurance only saves you your CURRENT ship/config/upgrades/equipment right? If you dont have insurance and it is destroyed, you can still use the ship, but youll only have it in default setup.
Isnt this how insurance will work? If its the other way, that makes the ship disappear entirely and you have to pay real money for it again, then its just #%&*$# disgusting... This is my issue..I buy a game where I can fly a spaceship..yet if I die\it gets blown up once I lose it unless I pay extra so I can have it back... I think any ship you get with the full game when you buy it should be yours for life no matter what..not just a KS backer perk..total rip off this aspect. Insurance is a rip off in real life..who on earth thought it would be clever to put it into a game...

I would imagine you'd still have your ship but not the customizations and cargo. Surely they aren't that stupid.

For ships you pay actual money for to fund the game 2 years before it's even launched? That's what we're (or I'm) talking about. If the LI cuts off but they continue selling ships. That would be great to pay them, wait 2 years, get your ship and get raped and blown up on the first day before you even know what you're doing. I'm familiar with the EVE system.

I've already contributed for a ship. Just saying anything someone pays actual money for should be secure for life. Especially if they pay it 2 years before they can even touch the game.

I prefer my 300i, or the look of the Hornet. The avenger to me looks more like a futuristic aircraft or shuttle than an space ship.

Hell, even LTI isn't forever. They plan to upgrade the ships every 3 years or so, and the LTI is NOT transferable to the newer model. Either way, I don't really care. The insurance in-game is not going to be expensive, and so long as you aren't the worst newb ever, you won't be losing your ship too often. The only reason I've spent as much as I have on LTI ships is I want to have those ships available as soon as I get the game, not months down the road after grinding the money. LTI is just gravy. I've bought the 325A, the Hornet and a Freelancer so far, and depending on my lack of impulse control, I might get something else.
