Special Forces: Find your enemy before they find you!
This week's tip comes from 
BadgerSmaker:
Special Forces! Find your enemy before they find you with:
/who imperial
or
/who rebel
If you are in range of any of opposingSpecial Forces membersthey will come up on search with their name.
Now you can use /target [name] as you scout around for them.

Kind of defeats the purpose of Force Cloak, Conceal, and the upcoming Ranger Hiding skills, don't it?

Not if you make yourself anon in the options.

I remember doing tests a long time ago, and if you are anon and overt, you still come up. I should test it again.
Using anon keeps your name out of the picture, but using /who will tell someone how many SF enemy are in the area. It will list the total number present, and then list the non-anonymous ones by name, species, and profession.

yup. what a disorganized way to fight a GCW. the other day I was talkign to a buddy and there was this dude of same faction. next thing I know he's being attacked by opposing special forces. hell, if I knew he was overt I would've switched to help him. things were way cooler with TEFs.
