For those of you who are doing the Emperor's Retreat "Imperial Theme Park" and have poor Thug Faction, you may have problems completing 2 missions.

Loam's #3 Mission: Intercept the Slicer
Lord Hethrir's #4 Mission: Deliver a HoloDisk

Both require you to converse with a Thug, but if you have poor Thug standings the NPC will instead start to attack and you won't be able to complete the mission if the NPC is killed.

To avoid this problem, create a macro named "converse":

/conversationstart;
/pause 1;
/macro converse;

Now do the mission and when you get within 100m of your target, do the following:
1. Check if there are any Imperial NPCs around. If they are, you can forget about doing the mission because they will certainly kill the target even before you can converse.

2. Locate a nearby MOB. Note the general direction.

3. Activate the macro. (I assume here that you know how to activate and de-activate user created macros)

Now run / fly pass the Thug and get aggro-ed. Run / fly to the MOB and start attacking it. Once you start getting attacked, the Thug will usually drop the agro on you. Now quickly finish off the MOB and target the Thug (who hopefully is still within range).

The looping macro will hopefully activate the conversation and you should have the mission complete message.

The key here is timing the actual combat with the MOB and starting the conversation with the Thug.

Hope that helps.

yeah thats a good trick used it to do some imp quests on dantooine
