I doubt that LTI is going to cover suicide ganking actions or other limitless acts of aggression and once your LTI is invalidated, you can lose an asset forever (together with the LTI that was attached to it)
No, that's incorrect. If you have your LTI stricken from the ship, you're back at SHI, you're not "hosed" as it were. If CIG is ready to not let you insure your ships, they're essentially ready to kick you from the game and that's what'll actually happen for anyone who pushes them that far. Like if someone is duping ships (insurance fraud), that's probably a zero tolerance or at most lenient 3 strikes rule kind of issue.

No my bca is 187 i bought mostly in 2013, although full disclosure i did just buy a bunch more coins in the 200-215 range, in addition to the sweet 160-170s i picked up recently.

How many coins you have at 187? Also be sure to update us when you sell as I want to calculate exactly how much money you're going to lose over the next two years while we wait for Star Citizen to come out.

We can then compare how bad an investment buttcoin was to your $2500 Star Citizen Javelin. We could even do a nice interview and ask which decision you regret more and if you have any pets or other hobbies.

Also if/when you get banned be sure to reregister, this is important.

They put 5000 phoenix's on sale and didn't sell them all, which lead to a few worry threads, so they have to judge it carefully. You want limited supply with slightly excessive demand, if supply is too high people start to worry they might have got conned paying $350 for something stupid, if you put too few on sale you don't make as much money.

As always from CIG, a clever solution to raising more money.

The justification this time seems to be that they're shocked that every person who went to Gamescon didn't buy one and the rest are just sitting in an electronic warehouse collecting electronic dust.

Not that CIG couldn't just make up whatever numbers they felt like. On that note how's the poll that CIG is running on their website asking if they should be allowed to do what they want to do going?

Did CIG ever mention why they're running this poll on their forums rather than making a commlink? I mean other than not really caring beyond wanting a little over half a million.

This gives me the same reaction as looking at an optical illusion or Escher painting. I know it's happening but part of my brain is tying itself in knots trying to comprehend it. Not only are CIG pretending to have limited stock of a digital concept of a digital item, but people are seriously arguing the pros and cons of pressing a button to make this fantasy digital item available to buy without jumping through hoops and they're using phrases like "supply and demand" and no one seems to realise how utterly loving insane it all is.
