Thread: /selectDraftSchmatic Broken?
There is a better way:
Actually, I left the game completely and came back in and it worked.
Before I did this, I did try your method of using the /ui action defaultButton. While this is slick, because you don't have to fuss around with finding the bloody schematic number, I find that it is about 20% slower. This becomes significant when you're grinding Advanced Droid Frame Units to trade in for FSXP at the village.
I would dispute your claim of 20% slower.
The pause time can be adjusted to your personal situation (my machine is a little slower and I need a longer pause) and that tiny bit of time is more than offset by the immense amount of time and hassle you save by not needing to find the schematic number every time you start up again.
5% slower? Maybe.
100% less hassle? Definitely.
Life is too short to search for your schematic number every time you want to grind.
I don't know how draftschematic numbers work (I use the defaultButton option), but the numbers being of might have to do with the fact that weapon and armor upgrade schematics were removed in the patch. That might throw off the number.
Also, is there a line limit on a macro? I finally got mine to work and I made it to go through 12 crafters. It worked fine, but after I shuttled to a trainer and went back into the macro it cut off in the middle of the 5th station's macro. It's not hard to make a series of macro's but it'd be easier just to have one long one.
They are not tied to a specific schematic but rather some obscure order that they appear in your datapad.

Elyssa, dispute what you want, but I have a 4 GHz system with 2 MB of cache, 4 GB of 666 MHz SDRAM, and 10,000 RPM SATA harddrives. I had to insert a pause of 1 second between the invocation of the tool and the /ui action defaultButton because it wouldn't work without it. Once I had it working, I grinded out 714 Advanced Droid Frame Units, keeping track of the time and comparing it to the time I had with /selectDraftSchematic.
