Shard Economy Changes [MEGA]

This also lowers Shard Shop income for veteran accounts from Guild Currency.

Currently, if you have all the toons from that shop, you typically buy the 5 shards of Cassian U wing for 95 **** currency. That is higher than 5 character shard for 75 Currency.

After change, you get 10 character shards for 150 currency, which is a better deal than the ship. But prices doubled. So it is loss of ~18% from excess Cantina currency converting to shard shop converting to gear.

Again, small, but the last thing we need is throttling down of gear acquisition.

None of those numbers make sense to me
The guild store where you can spend guild tokens
4 x ship shards for 450 guild tokens
5 x char shards for 450 guild tokens

Shard Shop currency right now
Ships
4 x 19 = 76
Characters
5 x 15 = 75
After planned change
Ships
4 x (2 x 19) = 152
Accelrated Charaters
(2 x 5) x 15 = 150

So both get doubled
If you are talking about the Cantina Store where you can get 5 shards of Cassian U-wing it is the same thing

Shard Shop currency right now
ships
5 x 19 = 95
Characters
5 x 15 = 75

After planned change
Ships
5 x (2 x 19) = 190
Accelrated Charaters
(2 x 5) x 15 = 150

both still get doubled for Shard Shop currency

Edit:
Maybe you missed this part:

Due to the resulting variation in between Shards, we are modifying the Shard Shop to keep Shard-to-Purchase ratios unchanged. Under the hood, this means we are doubling all sources of Shard Shop Currency, doubling in-store costs, and then doubling unspent Shard Shop Currency on all accounts when these changes go live.

• Accelerated-Farm Characters keep their conversion the same (1 Shard > 15 SSC).
  
• Original Rate characters have their conversion doubled (1 Shard > 30 SSC).
  
• For ships, this doubles such that 1 Shard > 38 SSC
