I wanted to buy faction armor schems for my AS so I bought the FP needed on my smuggler and and started delegating, but there where some strange things happening.
First when I bought the FP I payed 100k and for that I got 1375fp + 125 CoA, not 1250+125. Seems the +125 got added twice, and when I /del it to my AS this happens:
On smuggler:
"You have delegate 2000 points to Hoshi at a cost of 2353 points!"
Nothing strange here but on the Hoshi's side:
"You have been awarded 2200 points of Rebel faction standing."
I checked my FP to make sure it wasn't an error just in the log but it wasn't, I really got 1500fp for the 100k I payed and when I deled it I really got 10% extra.
So in practice the FP only costed me 71.33cr/fp after del.
All of this took place on talus with a rebel lead of 273-30.
Smuggler char was human rebel colonel, AS char was human Lance Corporal.
Edit:
I think I now know why it happend. Both chars where at the time under influence of the new entertainer buffs giving them 10% extra exp (and 10% extra fp). In the future if you are going to sell FP make sure you have the buff when buying from the recruiter and make sure your client has the buff when you delegate it.

called "inspiration buff" now... Adds a percentage to any xp you receive based on the length of time you watched/listened and the Entertainers level of mastery.. 280mins I believe is the max (stops at the number).

This is VERY good news! Yay for the entertainers. Silver lining #1. And for those buying fp, I think it'll be useful. Considering how pricey fp can be.

An inspiration buff gives a bonus of 10% to xp gain, faction point gain and crafting assembly. You may receive an inspiration buff by watching or listening (as appropriate) to any level entertainer. The higher in skill level the entertainer is, the faster you will receive the maximum buff duration of 180 minutes (3 hours). There is no need to group with the entertainer or have them /setperform on you. Nor or they required to alter their performance for the mechanic.
