One question - do you loose you rank when you resign from one faction and join another - and then what happens if your come back to your original faction? Are youthen low ranking once more or does it store a rank for each side?
Trying to see if it's worth it to be able to switch sides or if it's better to just stay reb and if I need imp faction just do it late at night - cause I've not been able to make it to the imp recruiter while being an overt reb to even see what choices he will give me....
I might just be confused as to the whole process however!
hmm .. I know for sure you cant attack any Factional NPC/PC while not being involved in the oposing faction ... so is your plann to simply do missions from the said Faction were they reward you Faction Points with out Loosing oposing Faction? If So I never thought of this but it is a Good Idea to have good Faction with both Sides (as a Smuggler thats Very Usefull) .
If So I supose ya can deal with both Faction without Loosing faction points to Either .. but gaining Faction points off these mission were you dont loose oposing Faction Points I doubt give ya much Faction Points at all .. and If so to sell them will be to Expensive .. The Faction your not Joined with will charge ya, I think 6FP per Point Delegated .. due to the Rank youd be.
So I never tried .. but it seems youd have to be to carefull about running into any Covert NPC/PC cause every battle will be a lose somhow for ya.
...anyone have any Ideas bout this... Its an Intresting Subject.
diregard this last message .. I didnt realize page 2 of the forum .. thnx all 
and Sorry
I don't know why but I am very confused in what to charge people if I were to sell fp's at my current rank(corporal). With the ratio being 4:1, meaning in order to transfer 100 fp's, I would lose 400 fp's, leaving me with 0 fp's if I began the transaction with 500 fp's. This means that the client would need to spend 40k credits for me to transfer 100 fp's to him if I were to do it for free, correct? [10k credits= 125 fp's]If I charged 100cr/fp does that mean I charge him for the fp's that I lose, or the fp's that I transfer to him, or both? It seems that if anyone were to buy any fp's from me the cost would be enormous to whoever is buying them from me. Would anyone be so kind as to give me some advice.
.
as Dreven stated before, there is now a code confirmation to resign, much as if you were to re-deed a house, or if youdropped a skill
I've had the macro run incorrectly, and it gave te the box to type in 'yes' or the code #..it wasn't on my screen long enough for me to tell which one to use....
