There is a penalty for death it just isn't the same as Dust, I apologize if I wasn't clear. ISK - Insurance cover 0% to 100% of this loss. High level battles do not have insurance. Low level will have 100% refund. Players can opt out of insurance to risk making a larger profit.
In short it's basically auto charging the cost it would take to restock the suit minus whatever the insurance covers (if any).

No. Only consumable things. Risk/Reward I have explained before. The ISK loss mechanic. I do not want people to hide from losses. Only to reap more from killing high powered enemies and winning missions.[/i]
Oh. ... no death penalty. *shivers*
Am I interpreting this correctly that rewards for killing suits will vary by level at some point? I am glad because I had asked for that forever. That automatically makes risk/reward more normalized. It was hard for non slaying classes like Logis and lower tier suits to keep up with PC abusing proto groups. Giving more rewards for a X-1 equivalent taking down an Xk.0 and less rewards for the reverse. That would have made Pub Stomping much less financially rewarding, even if it didn't disincline trolls.
Not sure how the reward structure will be handled, after all, that is a lot of numbers that probably won't be hammered out for some time. However, it does seem that there will be some benefit for defeating an enemy who is stronger than you, which is a good thing.

I'm interested to see how they handle any potential insurance fraud if salvage is still a thing i.e. 2 players conspire to be on opposite sides, 1 has 100% insurance and repeatedly dies to the other player who has 0% insurance
Well, keep in mind, since the dropsuits/modules are effectively never destroyed (or at the very least they're auto-restocked upon death -- whatever way of thinking suits you better), you won't be picking up shield extenders and damage mods from the battlefield. It seems that the majority of rewards really come from winning contracts and gaining standing with various corporations, rather than individual actions on the battlefield. So yeah you could blow around your buddy who has insurance repeatedly, but it may not really earn you much aside from perhaps farming SP on a weapon or suit.
Again rewards structures have not really been discussed in length so much of that is my own speculation.

As I read that I figured it meant that you would just autostock upon death (as if nothing happened), and not so much you getting a lump payout of ISK as you would in say car insurance. Instead, your insurer would just replace your car. You get no money to do as you please.
Hell if I know though. I'm just giving another way to look at it, assuming I'm anywhere on point.
That's actually a very good metaphor.
