DUST Search - RDV Pilot/Company should pay for lost vehicles.

Now for some reason every time I say this, people think I'm insane and say I lack a basic understanding of property laws, but if an RDV pilot gets your vehicle or himself destroyed BEFORE you have control over your vehicle, shouldn't he be the one who has to pay for it? I mean, if you ordered something online, and the truck delivering it to you crashes on the way there, why the **** would they make you pay for the item you ordered because it got destroyed while out of your control. The deliveryman would obviously be the one who paid for it, or at least the company he works for. Every time I tell someone this on Dust they think i am ******* crazy. Am I insane for not wanting to pay for something that was destroyed prior to me having physical ownership of it?

Also if RDV pilots get destroyed because they were called into a heated warzone, then they should just say "lolno, too dangerous." and if you insist, THEN they can charge you for endangering their pilots.

Make sure to tell me I'm crazy and have no understanding of property and delivery laws.

That's how shipping real packages works, at least, I think. When you asked them to deliver it somewhere hazardous, you accepted the risk of damage or destruction prior to delivery. They should pay in a perfect carebear world, but this is New Eden, they are not required to, and therefore won't.

Their legal team makes sure they don't pay a cent more than they have to, and given that we can't seem to sue them, they have to pay nothing at all.

Please explain to me how a clearly deranged RDV pilot who I do not legally own is my responsibility. Just because CCP made this the mechanic doesn't mean it makes sense/should be defended yo.

Their legal team makes sure they don't pay a cent more than they have to, and given that we can't seem to sue them, they have to pay nothing at all. I'd like to the the court case that rules that the buyer of a product is charged a fee because the deliveryman didn't do his job. If CCP actually wants to have a working in-game economy, they should probably learn basic delivery laws. Being in space doesn't mean people can ******* charge you because they failed to deliver something. They way I see it, until the vehicle is physically on the ground, and the RDV pilot no longer has physical ownership of it, the RDV pilot/company is still legally liable for it, because you know, thats how delivery services work.

Spoken not for the sake of, Hynox. If its gunned down by a rail, well, its gunned down by a rail. It's a battlefield. I expect things to happen to a big ship that decloaks with a new toy being delivered to some no name mercenary hiding behind a trailer.

I'm fine with RDV's getting destroyed, I'm even fine with refusing to deliver in a high-combat area, I just hate having to pay for cars I never got to drive, nor do I think others should have to pay for cars I blow up mid-transport.

If it got shot down, if it crashed into another RDV, if you got killed before you could get into your chosen vehicle, thats on you. Be more careful and pay more attention. This is akin to saying you should be refunded the price of a dropsuit if you get killed from behind because you didn't know there was a guy behind you.

But I think a monetary incentive for delivering it in one piece would make even the most annoying troll a better RDV pilot than that blind AI, I mean seriously, just how big is the MCC? How can you keep flying into the sodding thing.

I've lost several dropships in the redline at the start of a match from the RDV dropping it high enough where the dropship tilted back on its ass from the impact and exploded
