A guildie of mine is workin on becoming a MSmug. so that he can help the guild acquire a batch of bases. Here are a few questions I need answered first:


We are looking to acquire a PvE Detachment HQ, will it come with two other bases like when you buy a forward outpost? If so what bases does it come with?


The guildie workin on MSmug. is a very low rank, will this effect the cost of the faction when he buys it?


What is the cheapest you can buy a PvE Detachment Center - and what variables effect the price?


At MSmug. what is the rate at which you buy faction?


Thanks-

Variables that effect the prices are:



  1. Factional Rank (Colonel gets Cheapest)

  2. Underworld Rank (Master Smuggler is Highest)

  3. Current GCW status of the planet. (Basically, whatever planet your Faction is kicking the most A** is is the best place to buy). you can find out the ratio of each planet by asking a recruiter on each planet "how are we doingagainst (opposing faction)" and he will give you a ratio. Look for the planet where your faction has the best ratio. THIS EFFECTS THE PRICE MORE THAN ANY OTHER VARIABLE!!

Rank has no effect on the price, it's only real effect is you can bank more FP and you get better delegation rates when selling faction.

Low rank will prevent him from holding enough FP to buy the base. Rank will not affect the cost however.


What is the cheapest you can buy a PvE Detachment Center - and what variables effect the price?

Variables are m/smugg, if imperial then race, winning ratio on the planet where the purchase is taking place. (ie winning 100 to 1 is better than 5000 to 2500)


At MSmug. what is the rate at which you buy faction?

1375 w/buff (do rebs get it even cheaper?)

What does this mean exactly? 1375 per what? And which buff? Sorry for the questions but I am trying to help out a friend who doesn't use the forums.

Oops.


100k credits buys 1250 FP or 80cr/fp. With an inspiration buff 100k credits buys 1375 FP or 73cr/fp.

1375 fp per 100k with inspiration buff. Yes, rebels get a "Cries of Alderaan" bonus of 125fp for a total of 1500 fp/100k when buffed.

Does this really make a difference in prices?? I haven't heard anything about this, if it's true then that would be wonderful....I'm a MSmuggler and an Imp Colonel on Tempest and everything is controlled by the Imperials on that server. I'd save so much fp.

It Drastically effects the price of Factional Perks. On tattoine where the ratio is 5 to 1 rebels (on my server) the most expensive base is 31k. But at the most imperial controlled planet it is 80k. So yeah, its important to know what planet you are on.

Yep you want an inspiration buff on you, and you want to buy on a world your faction controls.


I am an Imperial Colonel on SS.
