Li Yong Rui discount changed

Kinda glad to see this, I always wondered what the point of Shinrarta and being Elite was when the discount was greater in any old LYR system.
That's a valid statement. But 15% on an 8A prismatic shield generator IS a SIGNIFICANT amount of credits. Thus, I am kinda sad to see this. But that's my greed speaking...

Get Elite rank.
Got Elite rank and access to Jameson Memorial. But I kept shopping in Diaguandri and vicinity, because the extra 5% saved me millions when A-grading the big three.
And get less of a discount...
The benefit of shinrata is convenience. You can buy every module/ship there without having to go looking for what you need.
Sure others can get a slightly higher discount but they might need to go looking for a while to find a station that sells the specific module they need.

This is actually one of my oldest axes to grind.
LYR is not supposed to grant discounts for ships. Never was. The Power Play description states discounted outfitting only. So the Founders World discount should be a big deal.
Except it has never been fixed. It was officially recognized years ago as not working properly and was supposed to be fixed "in the future" but...nope.
Imagine a galaxy where the price of ships that were assigned by the developers actually cost what they were supposed to. And CG special sales/Mahon's 20% Off Asp/Patreus' 10% Off Imperial ships would actually matter again. Founders World would regain it's status as THE Elite shopping center.
LYR space would still be the best place to outfit your ships due to reducing rebuy costs, but you'd have to go to the intended discount areas to find the deals on ships, or Founders.

To go one step further the better in a CG you did the better the discount. Like top 10 - 50% off, top 10% - 30% off etc.
Have a different ship or module each week. Imagine how many more people would participate.

Discounts may be of usefullness to noobs, but after one attains a few billion in spendable cr's along with a multitude of ships in dry dock. Discounts and having to chase them down is assinine. Shinrata is the place to be when you have more cr's than you can ever spend. Everything is there, it's a one stop shopping experience. Made my first billion one month after launch on the ps4, before making my first "ELITE" (Explorer) moved to Shinrata and have been there ever since. The billions just keep adding up, I just can't seem to spend them.
Start to PvP you will go broke quick.
