New Repair Cost... Or New Bug?

2% repair on a single shield booster is currently 25k. Equipment and hull (not hull integrity) are blown way high again now...

If you really have a 2% damage on your shield booster, can you please try to sell it and buy a new one ? I am really interested if you will receive full price, so your shield booster will be "repaired" for 0 Cr.
 
I'm not a time rich player and as such not an in game rich player either so things like this affect players like me but I'm glad they have gone up in some respects. Last night I left a fight with 1% hull remaining on my maxed out Diamondback Scout, aside from the fact I was shot lots while on 1% waiting to jump but didn't die (odd), I had to pay 100,000 in repairs which is much less than the 600k insurance so I think its a fair cost (roughly 1% repair charge given my Scout is worth about 9 mil) but I was shocked when I saw the bill. But I have had to mothball my Asp which I've only just managed to save up for and buy in the last week, 20% repairs cost me 45k last night! That's a lot for such minor damage for a player like me. Had I not left when I did the repairs would have been big! It makes the Asp to expensive for me to risk right now.
On the plus side for players like me I do like picking fights with wanted CMDRs in much bigger, better ships. I usually have no chance in my Cobra or Scout but that's the fun, this puts a different spin in it now as I can do some damage and they may change how they play as their are financial consequences.

I was hit by this yesterday. Took my Anaconda into a conflict zone, eventually left with 1.1mio credits in bonds, and then "enjoyed" a repair bill of ~1.7mio credits (most modules ~80-90%, hull at ~50%...yeah, I should have been more careful etc etc. Was really just messing around a bit ;)

And my equipment was not really suitable. I didn't have shield cells, nor AFMUs. I had gotten used to the low repair bills before. But if the current repair prices are to stay, then I'll really equip my ship to the max with shield cells and at least one AFMU. More likely tho, I'll jump out if the slightest chance is there to lose my shields.
