Special tip for Thunderheart then:
You can open your datapad and double click your ship and see all the components inside the craft. Anywhere, anytime.
But only in front of a Starship Terminal you can Launch or remove / add / replace components.
Aww man, I wanted to bust THs chops about that. 
My tip for the day is auto run across Dothomir, nothing can kill you. I just ran through about 3 nightsister camps, flyers and rancors all of which agro'd me but they never hit me.
Also for the crafters, my harvester guide: www.freewebs.com/hobomining
Don't feel like typing it all out again.
If you have a problem with getting all the specials,and abilities to fit in the toolbar a great solution is to bind them to the numpad keys on your keyboard.
Just create your own macros for the stuff you use the most and bind them to the numpads under the custom tab in the keymap.
I for example have stand/kneel/prone/sit to their own keys and all my stat recoveries (stun/dizzy/blind/knockdown), even harvest meat, bone and hide.
If you bind things like this to the keyboard you free up a lot of space in the toolbar for other things and it can make your responsetime in combat faster, for example if you are a CH you can bind all your commands as /tellpet commands to the keyboard, save both time and reduce spam when you dont have to say the commands every time. 
A recursive Jubilee Wheel macro. For afk play...

Beleive you can only view it the first time you look at it after loading onto a planet, after that you have to travel to another planet to view it again.

Yes, but if you do that, you always get the current status of the components.
I tend to fly my ship like a bull in a china shop. After a couple of repairs (especially when its a station repair and not a shipwright repair kit), my components tend to be pretty hammered on.
I prefer to track the original condition of components so that when I replace the components, my ship is back at the original flight performance that I liked.
The way I do it is once I buy a new component, I pull up /notepad and enter in the stats. Then I take my ship up and do a little dog fighting. If I like they way she performs, then I keep the component (and have the original values tracked). If I don't like the way it performs, I ditch the part and take the data off ofmy component tracker.
Then after I've taken a pounding and need to replace my components, I look for replacement parts that have the same or better value than what I originally had. For that I need the original numbers and not the "current status" numbers that would exist on the display at that time (post-pounding

Can anyone tell me if there is a way to turn off the players names and titles without turning off the entire HUD/UI. With large groups it is very annoying cause you cant see.
Thanx
