Just wanted to say thanks for the great info here as Bio Engineer unlocked my FS last night after 19 professions. I cant tell you how many times I read this as I spend well over 15 hours just on sampling lines 1-4. Thx again and i am staying a Master BE!!
Bade...just want to offer you my warmest congratulations. And I am very happy that the combined knowledge we provided here was so helpful

DNA sampling - This is how I got to DNA 4 in 2 days.
Beforehand if possible MAX out all mind stats on migration.
Sample Yard Trash outside of Theed for 92xp per... for some reason its more than newb critters on tatooine, and also the BE trainer is there if you need it.
Once you get to DNA sample 2 from the yard trash (several hours work) go to Dantooine.
Unequip any weapon you have skills with and equip one you dont have skills with or stay unarmed if you are not skilled in it. Hit up the mission terminal and get 2 Bol missions in the same direction, preferabbly spaced apart.
Sample Bols for 334xp / Bol Pack Runners 299xp until DNA 4. Bols are not aggro, easy to sample with DNA sample 2 and you can run back and forth between mission sampling over and over. You can also tap the lair (that is shooting one shot at it) to get more to spawn.
This is by far the best way i found to lvl up DNA sampling... and ive tried many as this is my 3rd time doing Bio-Engineer.
Hope it helps.
Step 1: - Setup
First you need 5 crafting tools of whatever type you need to make your item. For Stim Packs I will be using the "Food and Chemical Crafting Tool". Place these tools so that the first 5 slots of your toolbar are occupied by them (drag them from the inventory to the bar).
Step 2: - Choosing a draft schematic
This is a tricky part. There is a command that will allow you to use a macro to select a draft shematic but it changes from time to time as the person gets more schematics to choose from so here is how you find the one you want...
Step 2a - Open the datapad with (ctrl-d) and click on the tab that says draft schematics. then find the one you want, in this case we are using "Small Stim Pack-A". Start at the top left and count the number of items that can be made with the tool you are using going down the column before shifting over rows. Stop once you have found your item. However many items you count, subtract one and write this number down you will need it in a minute. (I.e. My stim packs were 3 down on the list so I need to write down 02, don't forget to put the zero in front of it.)
Step 2b - Now make a new macro that only has one command in it and place the macro in the 6th slot on your toolbar.
/selectDraftSchematic ??; (Replace the question mark with the number that you wrote down.)
Step 3 - The next macro controls the steps through the crafting process so you don't have too. Place this in the 7th slot on the toolbar.
/nextCraftingStage; (If you are using a crafting station you need to insert this command 2 more times.)
/nextCraftingStage;
/createPrototype practice noitem;
/createPrototype practice noitem;
Step 4 - This is the longest macro but is the last thing you need to make in order to speedcraft items Place this item in the 8th slot on the toolbar.
/ui action toolbarSlot00;
/pause 1;
/ui action toolbarSlot05;
/pause ?; (Depending on how many resources are needed I suggest 2 for every one resource so 4 in this case)
/ui action toolbarSlot06;
/pause 2;
/ui action toolbarSlot01;
/pause 1;
/ui action toolbarSlot05;
/pause ?; (Depending on how many resources are needed I suggest 2 for every one resource so 4 in this case)
/ui action toolbarSlot06;
/pause 2;
/ui action toolbarSlot02;
/pause 1;
/ui action toolbarSlot05;
/pause ?; (Depending on how many resources are needed I suggest 2 for every one resource so 4 in this case)
/ui action toolbarSlot06;
/pause 2;
/ui action toolbarSlot03;
/pause 1;
/ui action toolbarSlot05;
/pause ?; (Depending on how many resources are needed I suggest 2 for every one resource so 4 in this case)
/ui action toolbarSlot06;
/pause 2;
/ui action toolbarSlot04;
/pause 1;
/ui action toolbarSlot05;
/pause ?; (Depending on how many resources are needed I suggest 2 for every one resource so 4 in this case)
/ui action toolbarSlot06;
/pause 2;
/ui action toolbarSlot07; (This repeats the entire process)
Step 5 - Start the macro, with these steps you will only need to double click on the resources to use when the window opens. The macro does the rest of everything for you.
SO THEREare 3 SEPERATE MACROS THAT YOU HAVE TO MAKE!!!!
