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.

Is this typical? I never buy anything but gear in the guild store. Also I was unaware that there were any ships offered there.

I'm confused by the comparison between stores.

I think this might have been mixing two different shipments. Cantina Shipments always have 5 shards Cassian's uwing. This is the best purchase for shard currency in the Cantina store as 5 ship shards = 95 shard currency vs the 75 (5*15) you get from any character shards bought in Cantina.

But I thought this would be addressed in that ship shards would convert at 19*2=38 to 1, so Cassian's uwing shards would still be the better purchase (5*38=190).
