The bonus is only applied to standard Starship Combat Experience. When you receive Starship Combat Experience and are eligible for a Master bonus you receive two messages. One is the standard experience gained message than all pilots get. The other message tells you how muchbonus experience you received.
It does not affect Prestigeor Faction.
You do not receive a bonus while you have Mastered a Pilot Profession as Masters do not earn Starship Combat Experience. The bonus is only useful when you drop a Master Pilot Profession and start a new one from scratch.

do masters get double/triple faction XP as well as piloting XP? I know faction is usally something like 10% of the XP gained, but wasnt sure if it was calculated off base or off actual gain.
Also, do master bonuses only work for one faction? or do neutral ace badges give you a multiplier if you're a factioned pilot too?

Master pilot bonus does not apply to faction points or presigue points. Only general starship xp. Once you remake master, you stop recieving your bonus until you surrender and start over again.

You can gain faction xp in space by attacking ooposing faction ship while being overt.U can get extra xp by completing faction theme park missions. I think this is fast way to gain faction xp, try to hunt tier 4 or 5 ship.

It's still a great way to farm faction, better than any on the ground. You can gain thousands of points an hour in Kessel or Deep Space. 64fp for a tier5 TIE Agressor vs 13 for a stormtrooper? I'll munch on Aggies all day, thanks.

Ditto. Most imperial ships will be giving you between 45-64 faction points per kill. (I'm talking Tier 5s in Kessel). Best way to farm faction.

Aye, I've had the sky literally full of GBs...pity when there's a few underneath you that you haven't noticed, while you're pounding away at the underside of three above you...
Also, with regards to the master bonus, it only works according to how many factions you have a mastership in!
IE, if you master Storm Squadron (imperial) and Black Epsilon (imperial) and start working on the Imperial Inquisition squadron, you will only recieve one master bonus - even though you've mastered two squads.
If you master SS, Arkon's Havoc (rebel) and then start working on CorSec, you'll get two master bonuses.
