Active Discounts thread

I am totally doing this. I did it with my python, and I really enjoyed building my ship one module at a time.

OK, can confirm that this is a Good Plan. The Anaconda has made me over 10 million just since I posted about considering the upgrade this morning. There's nothing I need to upgrade at this point, if I'm only doing solo trade loops with it - I've D rated everything other than the FSD which is a B, stuffed it full of cargo racks, and it's definitely a step up from the Python for that purpose.
 
See this is what bugs me with FD pun intended

Brought an Imperial clipper but didnt get my 20% discount for being aligned to the Imperial faction and in a controlled system.
So its broken!!!!
What is the point of releasing broken stuff just to alienate us more!!!

Glad some people are getting discounts but come on FD get the basics right
 
Thanks to this thread I managed to buy a discounted, Python, FDL, Diamondback Explorer, Diamondback Scout, Vulture, ASP and Anaconda.
With ships and outfitting saved 125 mil !!! (got carried away with my adding up, lots of zeros :) )
As to previous poster, at Binet, Anaconda was discounted, bought it, then it was full price, left and returned it was discounted again so maybe it's a little buggy.....
Either way great thread for savers :)

I'm at Binet Port right now and while they do have the Annie it's not on discount...neither is any ship here. Yet it's a control system...

I'm backing Winters and I'm allied to the Feds, any idea what could be wrong? I still get correct discount @ Bhritzameno.

EDIT: Okay, I get the discount @ Malerba Station in
LTT 15449 but there is no Anaconda at this station...dafuq?! Oh also Binet Port is Fed so I really don't know why they aren't offering discount.

EDIT2: After leaving Malerba and going back to Binet I do have the discount. Appears it was either a display bug or...something. Crisis averted.
Well. I'm allied with feds but remain a free agent. I wonder if that has anything to do with it. I switched over to a private group couse I was about 2mil short of the insurance when I swapped my T9 for it.

Halfway through outfitting the Conda @ Binet (not that they have a good selection, lol), I noticed they weren't giving me module discounts. Needless to say I've sold them back and am heading back to Bhritzameno to buy my modules...not sure what's up but something's buggy at Binet...so while you can get a Conda there you may need to dock a few times (or relog?) to see if it offers up the discount.

While I was in Bhritz as usual, two or three CMDRs told me they didn't see the discounts. I suggested them to re-log, and after that, discounts magically appeared for them. So yes, something strange was happening this evening... I suggest everyone to hurry up... :D
So many people tonight in my beloved and "discounted" Station :)

Aww, and I was about to redo my whole fleet... At least I rebuild and get 20+% off Anaconda, Python, Dropship, FdL and Vulture yesterday...

EDIT: It is not stable as previously stated. It sometimes show discount, sometimes dont. Even changing ships can remove previously shown discount.

Ggrrrrrrrrr. This is killing me. Want to log in before work and pick up a Conda. Didn't know where they were hiding until this mornings post updates.
However the Commanding Officer would kill me if she woke up.

Hope that Connie is still 20% tonight......
Won't get home from work quick enough Lol.
 
I think the Hudson discounts are (mostly) gone guys... I have been trying to get it to reappear by relogging, buying and selling randomly, changing ships etc. and nothing works reliably. It still appears VERY RARELY (so if you're aiming for an Anaconda hull for example, it's still worth camping), but you do 1 or 2 purchase and then you get a "server error" and prices are back undiscounted. So for those like me that's just looking to lower their module costs, just go for the reliable 15%-er at Lembava area,

Not gonna check LHS 3447 (a bit too far from my home base for me to bother just to get an extra 2% off for my small ships)

Added that the Hudson discount is "Very broken" :D

To be honest I always expected that one to disappear after a while since there's nothing in the flavour text about it. It only says weapons 10% in controlled system not everything at 20%...

I thought it may be since he was #1 on the stage until yesterday, not sure if that matters at all. Can anyone confirm if Duval has a big discount now?

Yes, I suggest to leave LHS 3447 alone: there are very few modules and ships there. Checked.
About Bhritza, when I logged out this night, discounts were still there, for me at least...

Had no "discount problem" at 15449 yesterday early evening. Although I did notice that I couldn't buy back my previous module after I had gone AFK for ~15 minutes, and I didn't log off. Just kept the list open with the module that I just sold still on top and after I came back I decided "Okay, i shouldn't have sold that" and got a server error. Clicked back into the list and it was gone. I probably need to test that again :)
 
Well the Conda is 146 million at Binet Port at the time of posting. Seems like I'll have to rebuy at Jameson for 10% and cut my loses.......
Bother.
No I won't I'll take a trip to Li Yong-Rui's zone. 15% still better than 10..............

Spent AGES travelling for ships and stuff. Shuttling etc.
Think the money I have saved due to this thread would have been saved by merely trading!!!
(not a moan)!!

Bhritzameno, Anlave and LHS 3447 discounts appear to be no more. Just checked those systems. Jafnhau 15% discount is still on. Andaconda at 124,924,034.00 CR No FDL
