POB Base Insurance

[Paddy.]

There is a lot of interesting ideas in this. I don't think it at all silly. We all know the unfairness of Battleships respawning but POB's don't. The cost to buy a BS - 560 million - is much less than the cost of building and maintaining a Core 2/3 PoB.

There are over 200 POB's in the game. That is a very heavy investment of in-game time and player commitment. It also shows a massive swing over the years as the population droops to doing something many many players enjoy and keep them playing Disco.

PoB's are not "all about the owners defending them". Totally impossible for the vast majority of players. Many players use them to manufacture stuff, store stuff, trade stuff, swap stuff, etc. An insurance scheme may have some merit and perhaps if a PoB of value has been challenged by a warring faction, and is destroyed, then the insurance can help the PoB owner "resettle" in a different system. But would those who administrate the PoB moves and restoration be willing?
