To do this u have to frist make the in-game note pad active in your account, just be in game and typ /note. Then a screen will pop up, just typ anything in it. After thats done u just copy and paste it to your swg file, found in your hard drive, under program files, then find your swg file open it, then find profiles open it to find the station u use for the account u want to put the info, open the station name, and there u will find your note pad from in-game if u look u will open it to see what ever u typed in it in game. So thats where u would paste stuff for in game use....#2 This one gose with #1. You can copy and paste from your note pad to in-game e-mails for friends....Plus make a macro in your note pad that is one you would loop (like a crafting macro) so you don't have to typ it up like five times. To do this u will have to go to your in game options and find the key map (sorry don't know the tab its under to get to the key map), once to the key map, look for the tab thats got the chats and open it under there u will find the copy and paste, so say for my copy i used the key (ctrl+z) and for past i use (ctrl+x). DON'T FORGET TO SAVE THE CHANGES TO THE KEY MAP, lol o know I did the frist time haha....I have all my macro in my note pad. Can't say how may times that i have logged on to the game to find them not working due to game up-dates.#3 This is for the people that are going to redo there hard drive, (formating it). If u save your profiles folder to a disk ( the one for swg), and then do your systom and get all the updates done. Just put the disk in and copy the file back in the main swg file....#4 This one you all will love for u that have the speeder bikes hehe.... Its a macro to mount them and not to have to target the bike, for when when your getting your butt kicked and u need to run hehe.... the macro is simple /mount speeder; thats it.....now there are time it don't work when you frist call the bike or come out of a building, just target the bike and then try it and it will be fine......don't forget to put the macro in your hot keys (f-keys). I have used this for about a year now and seen that u can be running to the bike and get 5 meter to it wile not stopping and use the macro and it pops me on the bike for a fast getaway.....hehe had to come up with this i have a master bio with no combat skills hehe.....u know how mad a rancor get when u put a needdel in his butt? i do!..........Thanks for your time and hope this helps out....
I've got a different one on similar lines to that..
make 3 macros:
/target speeder (or change accordingly to the first name of vehicle "AV-21" for example)
/mount
/dismount
Then go to the keymap in options and choose the custom tab and find the macro names and assign a key to them.
I personally use "NUMPAD -" for target "NUMPAD +" for Dismount and "NUMPAD ENTER" for mount
OCCASIONALLY it may target someone else's speeder (particulary if a speederbike is near as appose to a speederbike swoop)
But I find 9/10 times its just fine (unless, of course you're in a sticky situation and REALLY need it then it will ALWAYS fail to target YOUR bike! LOL!)

ROFLMAO!!!!
Here's another no-no.
Use /nelson on a higher ranked imperial officer
He gives you one HELLOFFA smack to the mind and Incaps you, then fines you faction points, then some cash and THEN a little more for "Himself" with a comment about how much money you have and not gonna miss it! (Oh this is all in one BTW, not using /nelson 3 times on him)

Here is what I do after I set my harvesters up I set the name of the saved waypoint (of the harvester in your data pad) to the name of the resource. Then I just open my survey tool to see if the resource is still available. Then I know when to pick up the harvesters.

Best tip I've had yet. . .
go to Ctrl-O and click on the interface button.
Click on Keymap.
click on the Chat Tab and Scroll down.
On the boxes that say "Chat Copy", "Chat Cut", and "Chat Paste", rebind them to Shift+Ctrl+C, Shift+Ctrl+X, and Shift+Ctrl+V.

Do you have a little known command you use all the time? A cool place to visit? A trick (non-exploit) to getting more out of the game?
Share it here.
To get things started, Trozun, the Mayor of Serenity City (Naboo) on Farstar brings us this tip on how to keep track of resources once they shift:
Keep Track Of Those Resources
"It's easy to keep track of which resources are new and which ones are soon to disappear ! Simply open your surveying device each day or two and take screen shots of all the resource types you might be interested in. When you need to move your harvesters, compare the current resources with your screen shots and its easy to see which ones are new and likely to be around a while and which ones are soon to disappear."Do you have a useful tip that you want to share with your fellow Star Wars Galaxies players?
E-mail it to [email protected] and if we select the tip we'll post it as the Tuesday Tip and give you the credit! Send us the character name and server you'd like us to include if we post the tip.
Or go to swgcraft.com

MY TEUSDAY TIP (Mainly for Smugglers, but helpful for all)
You can set you mood to "Smug", by gong to control +A then mood and then click on "Smug". <-------My favorite mood! Its also perticuraly Ironic for smugglers once they read what it says when you speak in spatial!
