Thread: Tuesday Tips – September 7th: Sharing Waypoints
Slash Command
If you’re chatting with someone and you want to meet someplace, you can instantly create a waypoint by using the slash command.Simply type:
/waypoint x y
(X is the first number on your radar to the left and y is to the right.)

found this on a diff site....stealing it for here...great tip!
You can call your armor out of a droid without calling the droid and opening the storage:
1. Put your armor on a toolbar and put your armor in a droid.
2. Store the droid. Now press the armor in the toolbar.
Viola, the armor is now in your main inventory. Push the armor in your toolbar again to equip.
As an addendum to this great tip, you can put your armor back in the droid fairly easily.
1. Call the droid
2. Drag the armor pieces from your inventory over the droid. The droid will store the piece once you let the click go.
The pieces should remain on your toolbar, ready to be re-called later.
This has nothing to do with anything, but where in the EU or the movies were there combat medic's that lobbed poisons/disease? Also Composite armor has its own enviroment, its shutoff from the outside when your in it........so how can you be poisoned? heh

Actually the command is:
/waypoint x y
if you use a comma after the x the game will react with an error message.

3. Click and drag the waypoint into the mail window and drop it in the little box in the lower right titled, “Attachments”.
Another way is to click on the waypoint to bring up the radial menu while having the mail window open. One of the options on the radial menu is to attach the WP to the message, select that and you do not have to worry about dragging the WP to the mail window.

You coud just type:
/way
The system defaults to current location.

For business people
If you own a business or run a service and want to share a waypoint with a client/prospective customer, visit a Droid Engineer and check into getting yourself a merchant module! The merchant module enables a droid to play back a recorded message and give out waypoints by request.
You must have the Merchant skill "Advertising IV" to use the Merchant Barker module in a droid.

Multiple waypoints in the same mail is bugged. If you try to send more than one waypoint in a mail, only the first waypoint the receiver "saves to datapad" will work... the other one will not work. It would be nice if you guys would fix this.
thanks
There is a workaround.. don't try to save them individually. Choose the option to save all.

Not always, sometimes the waypoint goes somewhere way yonder. The way to guarantee that it does target your current location is to first select yourself (F1 on my keyboard) and then type /waypoint or /way.
That way it'll be sure to make a waypoint where you're standing.
/way without any options creates a waypoint to whatever you've got targeted. If you have nothing targeted (or target yourself with ctrl-1) you get your toon's current position.
Food tip:
Sure, you know how to use synthsteak and Brandy, but have you ever tried Parwan Nutricake with a 90% recovery bonus?
Parwan has two effects. First, it reduces the amount of HAM spent to execute a burst run (with a soft cap of a 90% reduction). Second, it reduces the downtime between the "you are tired" message and "you are no longer tired", allowing you to burst run again sooner. If the recovery bonus reaches 90% or higher, you stop being tired as soon as you stop burst running (and sometimes while you're still bursting).
How to use: Eating the Nutricake causes you to immediately burst run, the effect isn't "saved up" until your next burst. Once the burst run wears off, you can eat another dose to keep going. With a 90% recovery / 25 filling Nutricake, you get 4 minutes of enhanced burst followed by 1 minute of normal burst (with the normal 9m tired time) for a total of a 5 minute Speedy Gonzales impression.
Note: The burst run efficiency skill from Scout will modify the numbers given above.
