When the overlay map is not displayed, press Ctrl-M and keep it held down. Use the scroll wheel on your mouse to adjust the zoom in and out on the map.
If you frequently get lost on planets like Dantooine (because you forget to set waypoints) wheresome of the outposts are not shown on the map (Ctrl-V), you can look under some of the tabs (such as cloning facility) and find waypoints back to them.
Also, a request, can someone post the keyboard command to hide all the ui elements for taking a screenshot? I did something by accident th other day and hid them and had to relog to fix it.

Press CTRL+SHIFT+H to toggle the entire UI on or off.

Actually, /waypoint without arguments will create a waypoint at your current look-at target. But, if you have no current look-at target, then /waypoint puts the waypoint at your current location.
If your datapad gets full, email yourself waypoints
If you have too many items to fit in houses, store them in the input hopper of a factory...I believe it's 100 capacity in 1 lot for a factory vs. 75 per lot for houses
Always get consumables in factory crates. Your average player carries some combination of stimpacks, medpacks, weapon powerups, food, drink, spices, shield generators (I consider these consumables), and (for crafters) various crafting components. I personally have at least 13 crates on me at all times. My advice to crafters is to sell by the crate, and to consumers is to buy by the crate.

aditionally (probably just a bug) but I've had the /waypoint command create me a waypoint at 0,0so you can either double-check or use the "new waypoint" command in your planetary map (ctrl+v)
/waypoint <playername>
Will create a waypoint to the position ofthat player. But i have only been able to get it to work with players that are within 150 meters of me.
Use the player Search feature in the Community windpw (ctrl+p) to find training. It's quicker and easier than spamming.
Most people probably know this (I hope), but I ran into someone the other day that didnt know you can use normal stimpacks on pets,and not just pet stims. They also run on individual timers, so you can give your pet a blast from a pet stim and a normal stim similtaneously for really quick healing.
Float your waypoints in a box the options menu. The box is about a million times better than the arrows as they instantly tell you how far you are from your target,
The /tellpet command is much more effective than /shout for getting stuck pets to follow you.
I've been totally turned off by taking NPC missions due to having broken missions. I...will...try...taking..more...NPC...missions...in...the ...future...
*GASP!*
Phew...well here goes.
I remember being freaked out when Super Return of the Jedi was coming out.
To send the same tell to multiple players at the same time, and only having to type your message once, just do this:
/tell player1,player2,player3,...,playerX message
You can do it to as many people as you want. Note, the '...' just signifies that you can put as many names in there as you want, it's not actually part of the command. Just seperate the player names with a comma and then type your /tell like any other /tell.
