Thanks Caylin, I'd appreciate it.
I tried about 5 times to fix it using various means...it just refuses to keep my breaks where they belong. *shrug*.
So, it was either keep the link, or keep the breaks. I chose to keep the link.

If you like how that looks dreven, just copy and paste the text file into the box after you click on 'Edit as HTML' and it should come in exactly like the preview.

I can't get the /del part of the macro to work, only way I can delegate is if the target is selected. Did they change something?

This is a bug that comes up every once in a while. One or both of you should try logging out.
If that doesn't work, wait til tomorrow and it should work fine.
I've had instances where it wouldn't work for one guy, but would work for the guy I /del to right behind him...*shrug*...

sometimes if you only type /delegatefaction <target> <points> the system wont accept it and will give you a system message about your syntax being wrong. If you type out /delegatefactionpoints <target> <points> into the macro, youll never get THAT message.

Very good information here guys, i have found everything i need since mastering smuggler, i have one cloudy aspect that i am not getting my head round.......
i.e. As a Master Smuggler/Colonel in Rebel Faction, i want to delegate 100 fp's, this would cost me 118 fp's, therefore, i would need to buy 218 to pass on 100, ah but don't ithen i geta discount......25%,but to delegate 100 fp's.......i need to buy 218 from the recruiter?

If you /del 100 as a Colonel, you only lose the 100, plus an additional 18 for the trade ratio...meaning you lose a total of 118.

Using Sosstuborx post as a guide, Let me see if I've got this....
Someone wishes to buy 70k fp's from me at my current rank (Master Sergeant). My cost to buy fp's is:
(2.3) 80 = 184cr/fp
My cost to purchase 70,000 fp's is:
(184) 70,000 = 12,880,000cr
The total amount of fp's I would have to purchase is:
(2.3) 70,000 = 161,000 fp's
In order to make any kind of profit I would need to charge 200cr/fp. My profit being:
(200 - 184) 70,000 = 1,120,000cr
So now that I've got the amount I need to charge and the profit I stand to make, do I add my profit to my cost to get a total amount to charge the client? Assuming these numbers arecorrect, the total I would charge would be:
12,880,000 + 1,120,000 = 14,000,000
Any corrections or guidance would be great. I know it's best to sell faction at the higher ranks but it has taken me so long to get my current rank and if this person is willing to pay 200cr/fp it's up to him right?Even better, I can use his money to buy my way up to colonel.
That is assuming I can find an Imp Master Smuggler with rank of colonel to buy the fp from. Thanks.
Even better, I can use his money to buy my way up to colonel. That is assuming I can find an Imp Master Smuggler with rank of colonel to buy the fp from. Thanks.ruphio (master smuggler) on the Bria server, Owner of the Kingpin Smuggling Co.

The benefits of proof reading having escaped me, I noticed it sounded like I mean to buy my way to colonel using his money that he intends to buy fp's with. What I meant was the money I make from theprofit of the transaction. I am, and always will be, an honest smuggler.
