I'll test planetary modifiers too cause I have plenty of FP and don't mind wasting a few gloves.

I seriously doubt rank has anything to do with costs, and I should be able to verify this in the next few days.
Rank only affects two things: your FP cap and the FP loss ratio when delegating FP's to another player (if you are master smuggler).
The high costs in this thread were probably people buying on the planet they happened to be on, instead of taking the time to travel to the planet with best ratio. Or they were non-humans suffering the imperial faction penalty.
I saw 2 people of 2 different ranks pay different amounts to bio-link the same armor right in front of me.
GCW status does not affect bio-linking costs. I confirmed this part day one.

Well then I suggest we as AS try to document the varying costs of bio-linking for people of different ranks. For both the rebellion and the empire. That way we can tell our customers something abit more precise than 'well you'll pay about X to X ammount'. We'd be able to instead say. Well if your rank X it should be close to X. But if your rank ______ it'll only cost you about X.

don't see the point in this bio-link...
It's abit like the whole CU... completly useless. They want the game to have a more Star Wars feel, yet they screw you around, making EVERYTHING cost more for getting less. Get rid of the bio link costs will make more people out they wear it.
....But I'm just talking to myself seeing as SoE doesn't listen to it's customers, Lets see if there ears are still blocked when 1/2 the player base leaves....
MOO!

Actually, this only proves that rank DOES matter - you've got the wrong variable in this scenario. It's possible that both of those people would have been paying higher or lower amounts if the GCW status had been different.
The scenario that would prove the point about a GCW effect, would be to have 2 equally-ranked humans of OPPOSITE faction pay for bio-linking on the same planet at the same time. Unless my logic is way off.

I am making the rebel Marin (Recon) and Battle Armor. The battle was a cost of 1200 Faction to Bio Link to the helm for both a Rebel Col and a Rebel Captain.
The Recon was approx 500 Faction to link to. Still trying to for sure verify the recon cost and am keeping track of all my guildies on how much each piece is costing.

Must be an armorsmith to get them, and they are listed under schematics from a factional recuiter or other NPC that will talk to ya.

Well supposedly faciotnal armor was only going to cost 6k FP to bio-link. This. Is not the case at ALL. Recently madea full suit of rebel assault armor. And it's costing the wearer 14000 to bio-link it. Which is 1000fp more than even the 13k orrigionally stated as the biolinking cost.
I thought we'd allready made a good argument over the whole availablilty of factional armor. I mean are they -trying- to keep this as rare as RIS or what?

I recently paid 5mil for a full set of Scout Armor....and the 8K of FP needed to bio-link was thrown in with it.
Hell i probably overpaid...but i don't really care.....i love that armor.
