What is EGS Insurance?

EGS Insurance is a powerful feature that allows players to recover destroyed, damaged, or lost structures by paying a fee in credits and HWS DNA. Think of it as your ultimate backup plan when things go wrong — whether due to combat, accidents, or glitches.

:light_bulb: How It Works

  1. Insure your structures: Click the Save Template button in your structures’ Control Panel (mandatory to be able to use EGS Insurance).
  2. When a structure is destroyed or lost, use the egs:insurance: command.
  3. The insured structure will be restored and temporarily set to HWS faction.
  4. Once restored, use the egs:insurance:claim:[id] command with the new structure’s ID to transfer it back to your faction/private.
  5. During the claim step, the RepairToTemplate blocks are removed and for those credits/HWS DNA you paid earlier are refunded.

:light_bulb: Keep in mind that you must be on the same playfield as the lost structure.

:dna: Claim Cost & DNA System

  • Claiming insurance requires Credits and HWS DNA.
  • The fee is 100% of what the ship is worth + its Class Size as HWS DNA + the Insurance costs.
  • The cost decreases as your EGS Insurance Level increases.
  • You can earn HWS DNA through special missions, rewards, or trading.

:warning: Important Notes

  • Your levels are seasonal and reset with each full wipe.
  • You must have the structure’s lock code to start a claim.
  • Insurance now follows a two-step process:
    • Step 1: egs:insurance:[id]:[lock-code] restores the structure under HWS faction.
    • Step 2: egs:insurance:claim:[id] finalizes the claim with the new structure ID, removes RepairToTemplate blocks, and refunds the costs.
  • The restored structure receives a new ID, which must be used in the claim step.
  • The original structure is removed from the system during the process (no duplication).
  • All container contents are wiped.
  • The new structure is spawned directly above your character if you were in the same playfield — ensure there’s space. Otherwise, fly to its last known position.
  • You must be in the same playfield and location the structure was destroyed.
  • If your structure was cored by another player, you can’t claim your insurance. For arranged PvP fights, agree not to core each other’s ships so both can claim insurance.
  • Never ever set 0 or 00 or 000 or 0000 as lock code for your Template! It won’t work.

:brain: Tips

  • Consider upgrading your EGS Insurance level early to save costs later.
  • Use EGS Insurance after major battles to stay in the fight.
  • Keep track of your important structure IDs in HWS Connect > Structure Commander or via personal notes.
