Thread: Faction Perks Smuggler Style
"HQ: Detachment Headquarters (60000 FP) (45000/40500)"
When I checked last week, I was seeing HQ Detachment Heardquarters at 45000. Or, I am both Bothan and MS. Could it be the Bothan discount do not show when you browse what you can buy, but will show up if I buy it?
Thanks you two!
you must have the full amount of faction to purchase a perk, but you are charged at your discount rate. whatever discounts you qualify for, smugger and/or bothan.
i have seen this stated in one of the guides somewhere, just cant remember which one.
For example, other tell me they see the big Rebeel HQ base as 60k, well I see it as 45k (the Master Smuggler price) on the list. And if I was to buy one, it would infact cost me 40500 BUT I would need 45k available.
Like earlier, I bought an outpost for someone. SHE see it listed at 20k, I see it listed at 15k, I needed 15k to buy it BUT when I bought it I paid less than that. (because of the Bothan discount)

The way I understand the Bothan thing is, it doesn't show the "Bothan discount" on the list. And you'd still need to have the full 45000 FP, but when you purchase the base, it would only deduct 40500 from your FP pool.
As I said, that's the way I understand it to work. But, I'm not a Bothan, so I don't know for sure. That's just what I've picked up from reading various sources on the forums.

I was thinking of doing a rodian imperial MS. Could I get an example of what the penalty looks like/how it would work ifI go that route.
Not hard...just look at the list above with the Imp MS costs and multiply by 3.
Example: Stormtrooper Armor Gloves --- Human MS FP cost 1050--- Rodian cost 3150

Very nice Gomi...
I actually worked up a handy Excel spreadsheet that shows me what my cost is, then adds a 50% markup and shows me what the customer cost would be...which is what I'm charging as a standard pricing.
For bulk orders of 10 items or more (and I count ST suits and Uniforms as 1 item each instead of 10 and 4 items respectively), I give a dicounted price by only using a 25% markup (cuts my profits in half...but on 10 items or more, my profit margin is still very nice)...
BTW...are you missing a Block Turret in your list? I've seen another list recently that lists a Medium Block as well as the Small and Large. I haven't personally checked in game. If you haven't done so by tonight, I'll double check and let you know.
