New base costs: Det HQ - 90000, Tactical Center - 67500, Field Hospital - 60000, Forward OP - 30000.
These are PvP bases, Human costs before any discounts are taken into account. PvE bases are half the price of PvP bases.
New faction caps
See my Guide to selling FP for the full table. Basically it's now 20x rank cost.
New costs per point for smugglers reb and imp
Depends on who happens to be winning the war that day. This is going to be one of those "wait-n-see" deals to see how it shakes out...

Don't wanna argue with you about this stuff dreven, but just wanted to point out this sin't what I've been seeing on TC the last week (and seems to be shaking out on live)
Faction *points* were static for me as well as imps... for a rebel m.smuggler i was getting the typical 100k credits for 1250FP+125FP CoA bonus. That never changed.
What did change were the price of perks, and that fluctuates from planet to planet based on your side standing.
As for ST armor costing more.. in some cases it might, but I also think in some cases it will be less. I didn't deal in imp stuff, but i was hearing the 6k FP for an ATST on the "cheap" planet thrown about a lot by imps over the past week.

I really don't see this as much of a headache once thigns settled... in fact, if anything, it'll make things more profitable... or at least give the smuggler who is active more fudge factor to play with.
The way I expect things to go once everyone everywehre places their bases is for there to be some normal "low" that is hit somewhere aroung a 2x - 2.5x multiplier -- planets will rarely get down to an even 0 pts for either side. Its just a matter of time for things to settle into the new system and people to figure out what they will "normally" be obtainable for.
So find that "normal" point, set your prices off that, and if someone is really losing badly then take more profit or offer a discount, or stock up on perks then and sit on em till things get bak to more even.
Work with a few other smugglers (that parter you no longer need) to check each planets on occation and keep a list in /no of who is winning where and you'll be all set.

I went to naboo this morning. It's controlled by the rebels. cost of a uniform was 137
Went to tatooine, rebel owned. cost of a uniform was 75
I'm so confused.
