Does that mean if i Master Corsec, RSF, and smugglers alliance privateer I dont need to do any more for xp bonuses?

No, it's by faction ... you have to master with a different ship set.

Oh, and 7 masters is enough to guarantee the 4* bonus.

Correct. You must surrender all your pilot skills when you change squadrons. However, you get bonus XP for each kill dependent on what you've already mastered.

In short, your actual XP gained per kill is:

(normal xp) multiplied by (1+number of different factions for which you've mastered at least one squadron)

Once you've mastered something for the first time, you get the bonus XP when you start next profession. EG, I dropped Smugglers Alliance and started Corsec, was getting double XP.

After Dropping Corsec for RSF, I was still getting double XP, however, if I'd dropped Smugglers Alliance (Freelance) and done Imperial Pilot Ace, after dropping Imperial Pilot I would have got 3x XP during my next pilot faction, be it weather I rejoined Freelance or went Rebel. (Thats the standard XP reward + Bonus for 1 Freelance mastry + Bonus for 1 Imperial Mastery.)

If I went Master Freelance/Master Imperial/Master Rebel THEN corsec I would now be getting Standard + 3 Master Bonus or, 4 times XP.

Hope that has cleared it up for you.

Can you ever get to 4x without doing all three factions. Lets say I never want to be an imp but do all three rebel and neutrals, am I still 3x?

Affraid not, you only actually need to master each profession once for master in a nutshell.

I mastered CorSec and Smuggler's Alliance (Both Privateer), then tried Vortex (Alliance). According to the chart, it looks like i would be getting 3x exp, but the numbers i got from each kill looked more like 2x. Am i reading the chart wrong? Or does Privateer not count as a different faction?

You're reading the chart wrong
Corsec and Smuggler's Alliance both belong to the same pilotgroup (Freelancers).
So if you're grinding Vortex now, you should be getting 2x the xp. From the moment you master Vortex, you'll be getting 3x the xp.

Ah, i see now. I thought it meant you had to master 2 in a differentfaction than the one you're attempting. Thanks for clearin it up
