Does Faction Rank mean anything ?

[wreckbmx]

Just curious... When I was actually still playing, My PC was a Rebel Colonel... It didn't seem to matter to much in any situations.... anything new ?

[Rogue15]

i think if you're high enough rank you can get away with spitting on, slapping, and hugging inferior npcs without getting fined. Might also be a decrease in faction points needed to buy faction items from the recruiters, not sure on that one though.

[wreckbmx]

Uh.... heh heh heh heh .... that was cool. just like the real military.

in addition to what rogue said, i dont beleive you get reduced prices on items with rank, that comes with species and if your a smuggler...you do however get to store more fp on you as you get higher ranker and the ratio to delegate faction points is less..its like 1.18 fp to every 1 fp you tip to a person i believe once you hit colonel..

[Rogue15]

heh i had Kioet (trandoshan in my sig pic) hug an imperial swamp scout...i got fined like 1300 and lost some faction points. XD

[wreckbmx]

Are you serious ? You got fined ? Really ?

Fined what ?

[Rogue15]

yeah the imperials fined me 1300 credits.

Depending on the emote you insult them with, they sometimes smack you down too; but incap time has been reduced, so it may be worth the trouble, heh.

Faction rank is imprtant.

a higher faction rank means able to hold more faction points. and the higher your faction rank the less it costs to give other people faction points.

 

also like they said:

as an imperial after you reach warrant officer 1 or 2 and you get stopped by a patrol they apologize for stopping you. altho i think thats the same now for rebs on a reb controlled planet. and when you smack a stormie as imp they sayd sorry or soemthing

 

i love being a colonel
