#redirect [[Redeployment#Redeployment Costs]]
All pilots are granted '''insurance''' for their [[ships]] by the [[Galactic Insurance Company]]. When a ship receives catastrophic hull damage or becomes inhospitable under any circumstances, including the activation of the [[Self Destruct]] function or [[Life Support]] depletion, the pilot automatically escapes via an ever-present, indestructible [[Occupied Escape Pod|escape pod]] that transports them to safety at the nearest [[station]].<ref>https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=5323</ref> The pilot is then presented with a chance to rebuy an exact copy of their destroyed ship for a percentage fee, usually 5%, based on the ship's total value.
 
==Paying insurance costs==
The pilot can choose to rebuy their lost ship in its entirety, deselect certain modules to reduce the cost, or forego recovering that specific ship loadout and instead choose a free [[Sidewinder MkI]] loaned by the [[Pilots Federation]]. Criminal pilots may be forced to repay the costs of their accumulated fines and bounties. If a pilot has insufficient [[credits]], they can take out a limited [[loan]], but if they still cannot afford the rebuy, they will be forced to choose the Sidewinder and lose their previous loadout. Choosing to rebuy will [[respawn]] the pilot in their custom ship at the last station they docked at, or a [[Detention Centre]] if they were destroyed by [[System Authority Vessel]]s. Choosing the loaned Sidewinder will respawn the pilot at [[LHS 3447]].
 
Insurance cost is affected by the [[notoriety]] of the victim and the attacker; the victim having a high notoriety will increase the cost of the rebuy, but the attacker having a high notoriety will reduce it. Note that refusing or being unable to rebuy a lost ship will not award any credits in compensation for its value as with traditional insurance.
