Afaik insurance is offered when you loose your ship, the is no need to buy it in advance (only lost 1 ship and it was a while ago so not 100% sure)

The insurance fee is shown on the right panel (status)... always keep enough money to pay that off! You have to pay it AFTER you got killed!
Important: after every upgrade check the insurance fee as upgrades add to the sum! It is about 10% of the price you pay to buy it, so a 150k Cr FSD or Big Guns can easily add 1,500 Cr or more to the insurance fee.

So they have toned them down a bit. Too much, I quite enjoyed getting inderdicted, especially by fags with no shields and a high combat rating. Easy kills=Easy credits.

I have not been able to find any resource extraction sites.

How does one go about finding them?

Thank you all for all of your advice!

Resource extraction sites are in planetary rings, but they appear in your navigation screen only when you get close to them (a bit like the USS).

Thanks for all of the help! I finally found a system with a ton of them and am almost to 1 million credits. And now I have a tricked out viper to boot :D
