Shield Discount at Townsend hub 15% off - Which Shields and boosters are in stock?

[Ben Ryder]

Shield Stock List.

So far I've heard they have a 3A.

Can anyone else confirm what other shields, boosters and cells they have in stock?

 

[Bazorlag]

I think the devs will set up temporary inventory of shield goodies there, otherwise it would be a rather pointless bonus.

 

[ChubbyBunneh]

I hope they add all the shields.

Thinking of buying an Asp or Orca to stash a discounted 6A shield to swap into my Anaconda when not in trading config.

 

[madbill]

Indeed. I need an A7 shield and would very much like to capitalise on this discount. Any one seen a full range of shield tech there yet?

 

[Loskene]

I checked just after the goal ended and the biggest shield they had was A3. Took my Vulture home a couple million richer but with the same insurance cost. Hopefully they fix that soon.

First person to see new shield stock in, get yourself a posting please

According to the Active Community Goals Thread, the update for STOP THE SOBEK BOYS states "Everything is now set for the President's arrival. In honour of which, a shield technology sale will be held aboard Townshend Hub starting next weekend."

Unfortunately I cannot profit from this because I buy or sell my shields depending on what my next job is (Trader-Clipper doesn´t need shields).

Solved easily enough. Buy an Asp to hold the 6A shield. Sell it and retrieve it from the buyback list on the Clipper when you need it.

Does the buy back list go after ten minutes or something?

Except putting a 7D shield when you don't need cargo makes a lot more sense.

I use A7... not there. Hope it will change to give reason to re-visit

 

[L@neWolf]

I suspect we will see a full complement of Shield Tech at the time.

 

[Ben Ryder]

Any sign?

 

[vizvayu]

I suppose we'll have to wait until the weekend...

Good idea, but my Asp is parked for exploration in Bodhinga - far out. 6A on Clipper would be a bit weak though, I use 7B now ... preparing for the 10% loss when selling a module (it´s now a heavy fighter for good)

The 15% shield discount will probably come after 1.3 has been released. This will ensure that, with the new 10% re-sell module tax, we won't be able to do the sell/rebuy the same module for instant profit game we usually do. That game will only garner a 5% gain.

I assume you've checked today cmdr conda? popa needs a new shield

 

[hoodini]

I checked earlier today and still no discount (A7 shield in full price)

 

[M. Grey]

Any news here? If it's before 1.3 powerplay it would be worth to travel 200 Ly with both my Vulture and Python to get the discount for 5A and 6A Shields. This would be approx. 5 Mio discount total for both.
