I think the time to rebuy can be more accurate to the mission desc again, everyone and their grandma has 1-2 capships these days, having to wait a couple hours to a day if you die twice in one night isn't going to hurt anyone as there's plenty of reinforcements

I get why it was cut to begin with, cause long ago there were 10 or less in the universe and no one would take them out into combat but now there's lots and lots and it isn't that big of a deal to lose one.

Either that or scale up the cost if the frequency is more than X per day

Heck maybe scale up the cost and time and it cools down after a day

Anyways....Discuss!

I'm all for stricter timing on how often you can do insurance missions. It would make battles where capships are involved more meaningful and thought-provoking on your strategy. I think an hour or two would be good, but am not adverse to longer delays.

would also motivate combat oriented people with 1 ship to build 2 (or more when available) which drives up universe traffic

Only really need a couple hours to affect the battlefield since VO combat is so fluid

1-2 hours delay should be good.

I'd say 30 minutes delay to start with, increasing exponentially by 150% every time. The time gets reset back to 30 minutes every 24 hours, similar to the crystal limit being reset every 24 hours.

At the very least, update the mission description so it matches the way it actually works.
