Disregarding the discrepencies in individual item prices between the two factions (GCW discount accounts forsome of it though it doesn't seem like a perfect 30% there either), there is definately a weighted disadvantage to Rebels when it comes to the Master Smuggler discount.
If this were caused by the GCW discount, wouldn't it go the other way, as in you would get the full smuggler discount for the Rebel faction items as they are full-priced, and you would get what would seem like a lower discount for the Imperial items, assuming the smuggler discount was calculated from the pre-GCW-discounted price.
Can anyone explain to me either where my maths may have gone wrong, or whether there is a reason for this difference in Master Smuggler discount for the two factions (and the Imperial data terminals)?

Edit: 600th post!!!
Edit 2: Oh I didn't see the bit that said your imperial smuggler was also human... hmm I was under the impression that smugglers got 25% off no matter the faction.

My Master Smuggler FP costs are about 75% of your listed regularFP costs, so it looks like I need to double check those figures.
Something to note is that the credit cost for those items are specific to my server Chimaera and may be more or less that it would cost on your server (depending how much smugglers charge for FP).
A thought springs to mind, it may be that rank effects the purchase price (in fp) of items. I'm a Rebel Colonel for the reduced cost of transfering faction points but that might reduce the cost of buying items too.
But given that your master smuggler Fp costs are about 75% of the non-smuggler prices lists, I think thats about right given the master smuggler discount.

For example, you have a Forward Outpost down as costing 20k FP, while I have it as costing 18k FP for a non-master smuggler. I'm assuming your real cost as a Master Smuggler is 15k FP for a Forward Outpost.
Assuming your non-master-smuggler FP costs are the correct ones, I don't really have anything to worry about, since thediscounted costsare what they should be. Just odd that the figures I have been given for non-master-smuggler FP costs are out by this much, and also doesn't explain the Imperial data terminal costs.
I've just check my Master Smuggler fp costs and a Forward Outpost does indeed cost me 15k fp, now obviously I can't check the non-master price, but I'm pretty sure they are correct..
Anyway, thanks for the info, and congrats on your 600th post

What I'm looking at is your FP costs (first column), not the credit costs.

I don't think rank is affecting the FP cost, as the Rebel Master Smuggler I use is not a Colonel, but her FP purchase price is 75% of your listed non-smuggler prices.
