It just floats up above your head like combat HAM damage does (on your targets, other players, etc.). Just remember, all.....1 hour. If you remember that, you're good to go.

If not, you'll get the 'float' every 30 seconds.


Will someone write up a KnowledgeBase Q/A for this and add it to the sticky? I would...but I'm getting on the Corvette in a sec.

If the Low Power message itself hasn't been changed it is also shown as a system message.


I have found it useful to create a new chat window just for system messages and ban the System messages from the middle of the screen. First it helped not to miss tips and heals back in my days as a dancer, but it's also great to catch trade requests and these **Low Power** messages...

If you had ever been a dancer Tarne you would know that missing a tip is a criminal offense


So, go to Options, Chat Colours and change *Low Power* to be red text..and then you never miss it.


Simple but tasty

I could have sworn I have said something about this ....I know I at least told Jenden about it while we were hanging about together on TestCenter. If it slipped my mind, oh well.

Wonderfull new!


One question to be sure : is it one hour of real usage (droid out) or one hour even in datapad.
I tend to think it is on usage but I wanted to be sure...

How do you set this up? I know how to do other chat windows, but how do I do one for system messages?

Double clikc on the newly created chat tab or select 'modify' from the menu.


Then select from the avaiable channels list the system messages.
