You can use a : for emotes.

:looks around the room

Dont' try to shorten /cheer unless you want to kiss someone on the cheek.

If you dont' want to have faction penalties as a Imperial be human. Zabraks have a 2x penalty now unlike beta.

Tip for factory users (when they're working)

Name your schematics with a unique idetifier, so you can easily identify which crates are from the same Factory run. I usualy just use the first inital of the customer (or my initial) and a number, IE S1, J2....

Makes it much easier when you get to the end of one run, and start a fresh crate.

Supression fire is your best friend against big mobs. I have never tried it against hard mobs that can shoot, but I have soloed the big... I just forgot their name. But anyway, just go to lok and find somthing that is big, but wont have others come after you. Now use supression fire once, then throw 2 or 3 traps, repeate. If you want to kill it, Just use supression shot once, then bleed, then leg shot2 x2, supression shot, legshot2 x2. etc. etc. That is the best way I have found to get the trapping xp.

Shortened commands i use:

/for - forage

/ex - examine

/tendd - tend damage

/tendw health - tend health wounds

/tendw can also be used on secondary attributes (strength, quickness, etc.). there seem to be a few peple who don't know this.

Correcting a common misconception about cries of Aldreraan: you CAN use the other factions disks. As a rebel, i turned in the Imperialset. Think about it, you're intercepting an enemy transmission. You think your side wouldn't want that?

Bleeding: You can stack bleeds. i have a doublebleed macro defined as "/healthshot2;/healthshot1". I assume you could add the BH's bleeding shot on to this for a triple bleed.

Don't group with your pets if you want loot. You won't get any when grouped. You can have your pets out and use them just don't group.

I hope they fix this!!

I made a macro that disbands, loots, harvests, and invites my pet to group for this reason.

Tip your Medics and Entertainers. Once again TIP your Medics and Entertainers.

If you have no money at least say thank you.

I get so tired of healing someone with costly med supplies and I dont even get a thank you. Medics and Entertainers remember names of good tippers and will get to you first.

Great idea. Right now i just dropped my armour and clothes in empty pane spots and just cycle through, but i can see how your way is more efficient.

Thanks Bud

Map the alt button to your mouse wheel button.

That way you can switch mouse modes without the keyboard

To expand upon Q's tip about shortening commands:

/point does not cause your character to point at your current target. You'll want to use the emote /pointat to do that. Instead, /point is short for /pointblanksingle. Doing a /point at the giant dune kimogila while holding a blaster is going to give everyone nearby a really close look.

That's happened to me more than once...

A tip: Have a bunch of structural mods to make? Let your factory do it over night. 10k ore and 2.5k steel will yield ya 100 structureal modules (and, when the factory bug is fixed, you can do 500-1000 a night). Also, by the time you get online again to check your factory, the server's been reset and your factory shouldn't be in a bugged state.

/dump to stop running macros

you can /tell multiple players by listing all their names with a comma and no space between.

Example: /tell joe,fred,margaret,archibald,nancy Hello!

The /healDamagecommand (and probably all other healing commands) can take your own name as parameter. So you can set up a macro to heal yourself, regardless of target, combat status and what not.

/healDamage insertyourownname;

Useful to have on a function key. Unfortunately this doesn't seem to work with other players names for some reason.

Also, to add to ExitInterview's tip, if you can't target the item in your house, type "/pickup ExactNameofObject"

Of course, replace "ExactNameofObject" with the name of the object you can't pick up.

Oh my God. You are my hero! Goodbye evil couch!

PvP Tip:

If your a Rebel or Melee, don't bother to PvP.
