It costs faction points to delegate faction points. For example, at the rank of private, it costs 1250 fp to delegate 250 fp to someone else. This gets more efficient as you go up in rank. I'm not sure if an inspiration buff affects faction points, though. But my thought is, you're thinking that it' a straight one-for-one transfer, which it is not.

No, I think Angus probably has it right. Stena seems to have consulted the handy-dandy Stickies (WHICH MORE PEOPLE SHOULD DO BEFORE POSTING!), but probably forgot to factor in those sneaky 200 points.

I think Angus is right as well.. you have to maintain a 200 FP minimum. Based on your first set of numbers, you would have dropped below the 200 fp minimum

Ok so i was selling some faction today, 2 lots of it and i came accross something strange (well strange to me anyway)

I had 1996 faction points and wanted to delegate 1600 faction to somebody. So I typed /del 1600 and I got a message saying I lacked 1883 points to del 1600. Also i was selling 5200 faction to somebody else and got another system message saying "You lack 6188 faction to del 5200" and i know i had more than 6188 faction on me (Not a lot more but defently more)

I did both of these with a 20min gap in between to 2 diffrent people.

I'm also a Col. and i had a insperation buff.

After delegating the faction i was left with ~400. I used the faction point calculator to work out how much i needed. We are defently winning the GCW the score is: Rebel: 323 Imperial: 0

So does anybody know whats going on or am i missing something?

Thx





The formula I use is (FPtoDel * 1.18 ) + 200

Make sure that you don't count 200 FP of what you have. You have to keep that.

Inspiration buffs only effect the actuall purchasing of the fp from the recruiter, as in the case with imps instead of 1250 for 100k it's 1375 for 100k. Rebs receive a little more than that thanks to them having won the Crys of Alderaan stuff.

Also, if the person you are delegating faction to has an Inspiration buff, they will receive an extra 10% FP during the transfer. Check it out for yourself.
