The following text regarding ship insurance and guarantees was discussed at CitizenCon 2024 and is part of Star Citizen 1.0. In the Alpha, there are no guarantees, and expiring insurance is not yet in place!

With version 1.0, the insurance system in Star Citizen is being fundamentally overhauled. The previous Lifetime Insurance (LTI) has lost significance and has been replaced with a more differentiated system, where insurance and guarantees are now separated.

Ships from the Webshop (Pledge Store)

• Guarantee: All ships purchased through the official webshop come with a permanent guarantee. This ensures that the ship and its standard components will be replaced if lost, provided the insurance is active.
• Insurance: These ships come with an initial insurance (e.g., LTI or time-limited). In order for the guarantee to apply, the insurance must be active. If the insurance expires, the ship can be replaced for an in-game fee.

Ships Acquired or Crafted in-Game

• Insurance: Players must purchase insurance for these ships with in-game currency. Without active insurance and guarantee, the ship will be permanently lost if destroyed.
• Guarantee: These ships do not come with a guarantee by default. However, a guarantee can be earned through gameplay, such as reaching "Citizenship" status.

Differences Between Insurance and Guarantee

• Insurance:
  • Covers the replacement of the ship, depending on the chosen insurance level.
  • There are three tiers:
    • Tier 1: Covers only the hull and standard components.
    • Tier 2: Also includes custom components.
    • Tier 3: Also includes decorations and interior fittings.
  • If the ship is lost without active insurance, no refund will be provided.
• Guarantee:
  • Applies only to ships with active insurance.
  • Allows for full replacement of the ship and covered components, rather than a mere monetary refund.
  • Can be earned for in-game acquired ships through gameplay.

New Options in the Insurance System

• Monetary Refund: Without a guarantee, the insurance will pay the current monetary value of the ship, based on its age and condition.
• Acquiring Guarantees in-Game: Players can earn guarantees through certain gameplay elements, such as reaching "Citizenship" status, which can be applied to ships acquired in-game.
• Insurance Tiers: Additional insurance tiers (Level 2 and 3) can be purchased in-game with in-game currency to cover custom components and decorations.

Summary

• Webshop Ships: Come with a permanent guarantee and an initial insurance. The guarantee only applies if the insurance is active.
• In-Game Acquired Ships: Must be insured separately and can earn a guarantee through gameplay.
• Insurance: Covers the replacement of the ship, depending on the chosen insurance level.
• Guarantee: Allows for the full replacement of the ship when the insurance is active.

It is up to the players to ensure their ships are properly insured and to acquire guarantees when necessary to ensure full replacement in the event of a loss.

In Star Citizen, ships and vehicles are insured, allowing for replacement in case of loss or destruction. However, the insurance mechanics are not fully implemented during the current Alpha phase.

All ships and vehicles are currently automatically insured, and there are no in-game costs for renewing or maintaining insurance.

Overview of Insurance Types

With the full release of Star Citizen, a tiered insurance system will be introduced, offering various coverage levels:

• Level 1: Basic Insurance
  • Covers the hull and standard components of the ship.
  • This insurance is included in most game packages and must be renewed after it expires.
  • During the Alpha phase, this insurance is automatically active and does not require renewal.
• Level 2: Advanced Component Insurance
  • Additional coverage for custom components and upgrades.
  • This insurance can be purchased in-game and supplements the basic insurance.
• Level 3: Full Insurance
  • Includes, in addition to Level 2 coverage, cosmetic adjustments such as paint jobs and interior decorations.
  • Also available in-game and is optional.

It is important to note that these extended insurance options will be available after the full release and are not yet active during the Alpha phase.

Lifetime Insurance (LTI)

Lifetime Insurance (LTI) is a special type of insurance in the game. It permanently covers the hull and standard equipment of a ship - no extension or renewal of the insurance is necessary.

LTI is only available for ships purchased under certain conditions, such as during special sales events or through certain supporter packages.

Important information about LTI:

• Custom components and loaded cargo are not covered by LTI.
• Ships purchased directly in-game (with in-game currency) do not receive LTI.
• LTI cannot be purchased separately or transferred to other ships.

Insurance Requirement and Consequences

After the full release, it will be necessary to actively manage insurance:

• Insurance Expiration: If a ship's insurance expires and is not renewed, the ship may be permanently lost in case of destruction.
• Warning Messages: The game will notify players when they attempt to use a ship without active insurance.
• Replacement: For ships purchased with real money (through the RSI website), there will be options to replace them after the insurance expires for an additional in-game fee.

During the current Alpha phase, there is no need to worry about insurance - all ships are automatically protected. However, after the full release, a comprehensive insurance system will be introduced, requiring players to actively manage their insurance.

It is worth familiarizing yourself with the various insurance options early to avoid losing valuable ships and components in case of a mishap.
