Mission Info , Insurance , Licencses and Trial Time

Mission info should have more detail : aproximate danger factor, how far away (nr. of systems)is the destination , how much it pays and what other rewards are given.
Also a good idea would be some insurance. Something like pay 1% of your ship's value (with all that it has on it) and if you get it destroyed on a mission you don't lose everything, or on each mission you should pay 1/5 of the mission's reward money for insurance , or make it variable, the more dangerous the mission the greater percentage of the mission reward you pay as insurance.

Licenses should be abolished but as compensation ships and components should cost more. It's stupid to depend on licenses to buy a good ship or some good components if you want to be a pirate or a fighter and you don't like trading missions.

Trial time should be at least 48h gaming time so you can familiarize yourself with the universe and make some progress in the game so that it would feel like a big loss at the end of the trial period so that you want to pay for the game to continue.

Also as a small idea some more detail in space would be nice (it's too dark and monotone ) look how nice space is in "EVE Online"

I knew it that you're from EO, just knew it before you typed to look at e ;p.

When you will play more, you will realize that insurance here is pointless as it is very easy to make money by trading and it's already hella cheap to pvp (80k for fully fited ship while by making 1 jump trade, i make around 400k). Also it would put inflation into even higher level.

Danger factor is the same for every mission beside hive skirmishes, where you got "levels" spread: small, common, critical, central and so on. Also you only see missions that with you're current license levels you should be able to do, if you can't then practice more :D
Rewards happend to be random based (ie. convoy) and with them public ppl would pick only 500k ones and no one would do these worth 65k. But some missions got info how much reward is, for example trade guild missions or bot hunting.

As for dropping licenses, nah, theyr very easy to earn if you know what you're doing and only thing pvper need from trading license is fast charge battery. Also there are places where you can buy stuff w/o licenses.
As for 48h gaming trial, i disagree, 8h is more than enought to either like or like not the game.

The trial time will increase, but not right now.
