Okay, that makes sense I guess. The real reason I asked is because what I saw being deducted from my faction versus what my friend's faction was being charged were two different things. Master Sgt. costs 2500 over minimum and it would charge me 2500, but for him it would charge the initial 2500 but only deduct 1875 points. (25% discount). Am I missing something?

…okay, that I'm not sure on. I haven't gotten any promotions since making Master Smuggler (although now that I have the chickenwalker that's my next project.) I'll let you know what I find out.

I paid "full price" for every rank...


To my knowledge, the Master Smuggler discount doesn't affect the purchase of rank...unless something changed recently...

Okay the items purchase makes sense, but can somebody verify the rank issue?

ya those prices are right on for your 30% discount. As far as rank cost goes.. I always needed the requried amount to rank, but when I took the rank it only removed the discounted amount. It was quite frustrating because I always wanted to buy up to 500 to make it quicker, and quite often the rank purchase would leave me with more than 500 because of the discrepancy between the rank cost and the discounted cost.

This seems to be what I'm getting as Human Imperial and its charging me full price for them.






That is the same as for Rebels (all species) ... what about zabraks (me) ?

Rank cost is flat regaurdless of faction or race, and there is no discount for smugglers when leveling ranks, and to clarify this list, the first white number is cost above faction min, the yellow number is the maximum FP you may hold at that rank, and the red numberis the transfer ratio wich is further illustrated by the second white number in ( )

I just realized something after reviewing this screenshot. Omo was getting a discount for rank, but not for being a Smuggler. For full price to get to Corporal is 800 and he paid 720. Thats only a 10% discount, not 25%. Wasn't it stated somewhere a long time ago that Bothan were supposed to get faction discounts with the Rebels? Maybe its a Bothan only discount for rank.
