Seems to me a smuggler shouldn't worry about how he/she gets what they want/need.

Anything it takes baby!

I mean the profession is smuggler afterall, right?

The best way I've figured on figuring a job is this:

1) I have all of my creds actually on my character...nothing in the bank.

2) Make a note of my current balance.

3) Figure profit from order and add that amount to my current balance.

4) Customer /tips me credits to cover the order.

5) Watch credit balance in inventory window as I /delegate...when balance = beginning balance + profit, I stop.

This isn't an exact science, but it's as close as I care to get.

Example:

Beginning credit balance: 1765408 creds

Client order: 10k fp = 1000000 creds

My profit on order: 144972

1765408 + 144972 = 1910380

Watch the balance in my inventory as I /delegate...when my balance = 191XXXX (it will never be EXACTLY equal to the calculation)...I stop. Every now and then, the client will get an extra transfer...but 9 times out of 10, the order will be covered.

Like prices for most anything, it varies from server to server, and smuggler to smuggler. Generally they run 100-125 credits per point. Average is 110-120.

A Rebel Master Smuggler who is a Colonel will have to purchase 5900 faction points in order to transfer 5000 to you, as 900 points will be lost in the transfer. The price will vary depending if Rebels won the Cries of Alderaan bonus or not. The cost to the smuggler to give you 5000 points of faction will be 472,000 credits with no bonus, and 427,536 credits with the bonus. The cost per point to the smuggler is 94.4 with no bonus, or 85.51 with bonus.

Now that you have your facts, the thing you have to remember is that you're paying for the smuggler's time, as well as the faction points. Buying and delegating faction can be quite time consuming (*cough* annoying), as well as "dangerous" as the smugglerhasto be overt during the process.

I'd say you'd be looking at ballpark of spending 600,000 credits for the 5000 faction points, give or take 50k. Good luck!

I bet this has been mentioned before, but smugglers should just be able to go up to recruiters and tell the recruiter how many faction points they want and the recruiter will charge them.It would be the same cost, just save you the hassle of clicking the recruiter a bunch.

This is just off the top of my head so I wouldn't be surprised if some people found flaws in this idea.

LOL...

Don't be surprised if someone comes in here and has their head explode. Not as bad as some of the other FP posts, but it's still inevitable.

And in response to you, yes it has been mentioned. Take a look through the stickies and you'll find it in our development threads that have recently had the dust knocked off them we're told.

"Jedi claims of being "broken" are like saying "But my TV isn't widescreen! It's broken! My TV can't show high-def pictures in 1080i, it can only do 720i! It's broken!" Meanwhile, crafters are saying "We'd really like to have a TV that's larger than 12" and gets more than 4 channels and doesn't constantly lose vertical control", and entertainers are saying "Can we get some color instead of this B&W piece of junk?" And smugglers? We're listening to radio programs of "The Shadow" and "The Abbot and Costello Comedy Hour" and hearing FDR's Fireside Chats. We don't even HAVE a damn TV, much less a broken one or a "broken" one by Jedi standards. I'd LOVE to be as "broken" as they are." - The Legendary Solo4114

I guess this is your lucky day

On the current publish on TC Smugglers are now able to buy up their faction rank's FP cap, rather than the cap of 500 FP that's on live now, so a Smuggler that's also a colonel will be able to purchse up to 60600 FP.

On a side note, don't worry if peoples heads explode, I'm sure someone will clean up the mess
