I love the fact that you can pull of heists in the game that are worth actual money.

Enlighten me, I know little about this game. How do heists work?

There is an item in the game called a PLEX ( Pilots Licence Extension ) You can buy it with in game currency and it adds 30 days of gametime to your account. You can also buy these for IRL cash for use in game to sell or activate. they cost 19.99$ USD right now in the largest economic hub in the game 1 plex is worth 539,000,000 isk ( isk is the in game currency ) so If I put 1 billion isk worth of gear on my ship and it got blown up. you could say that the loss was an equivalent of 37$ But the conversion is not legally recognized, and selling in game currency for IRL cash is strictly forbidden. So its mostly just a "fun fact" type of thing.

So people don't actually lose hundreds, or thousands of dollars? I see.

You would only *really* lose that money if you went and bought a ton of plex for IRL currency and then sold them in game. and then lost that money.
