Not anymore. When they first put out vehicles you could not really operate a harvester froma bike, but somewhere along the line it changed. You can do anything you want to with a harvester, including redeeding it without dismounting your vehicle. Maybe this is a bug, but it is the way the game is working now.
You do still have to get off to set up a harvester from a deed, though.

With all the bugs and problems with this game, you spend time implementing this??? Well I guess it is nice when the bazaar and vendors are down you can quickly find out if they are down on just your server or every server.....
So I guess this will be a frequently used feature....
Yeah, HOW DARE they make a new feature, other than exactly what you wanted!?

Heh I have allways been wondering about that Telefone thing in films and how a guy could have
a 555-xxxx number when living in a city of millions. Btw, I am from Denmark and dont know how your system works over there

It seems I cannot remove this person from my friends after adding them cross server. It says "Name is not a valid friend name" Replace name with a real persons name

PATHETIC.
Read the entire tread before making stupid comments like that. He already stated that this feature was made by guys not currently working on SWG itself.

'555-XXXX' is used because there is no real phone number that will have that three digit combination at the beginning. if I'm not mistaken, and I may very well be, 555 will get you the information directory of your city and is not used in actual phone numbers. remember the song that included 867-5309? movie makers like to avoid those kinds of legal problems.
my tip is a little macro all of you miners out there can use in-game.
/addpower 1800;
/pause 1;
/paymaint 2160
/pause 1;
/setpermission admin XXXX
where XXXX is a character's name.
this is the basis of a variety of macros for me. this one will take care of all upkeep for one day on a heavy harvester as well as automatically adding my second character to the admin list every time I interact with harvesters so I don't have to worry about that. playing with the numbers can yield different results. I have a 7 day heavy harvester variant, as well as 1 day and 7 day medium harvester variants. with this macro I can drive up to a harvester (while still on my bike, yes it can be done that way) harvest the materials, turn the harvester off than back on (ever wonder why power seems to totally vanish? well it doesn't. turn your harvester off for a second or so then turn it back on. check the status screen again, it's back!), press my seven day macro, and not do a single thing until the material shifts.
I've heard rumor of a command to empty the harvester's hopper in a similar fashion but it is not yet forthcoming for me *shrug*

You can't tip across servers because when you create a new character, you start off with some cash. You could just keep creating new characters and tip yourself an infinite amount of money.
On a side note... It says I'm a community veteran (yeah!) but when I try to edit my posts, it says "access denied, you do not have sufficient privileges." Anyone know why?
Edit:Nevermind, seems to work now. Thanks devs!
