Each week, I start a thread for you to share game tips with fellow players. The idea is that I will post a tip from either myself or one submitted from someone in our community. Once I have posted a tip, then you should post your own tips to be shared with other players.
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.

I'm still in love with the /target command. It's been presented as a tip a lot, but I figure I'd remind those who may not know about it.
/target (name) and it'll target people, creatures, pets, even buildings!
Go to coronet and type /target starport, or /target corellia and see what happens

How about this one:
Don't use FD in PvP when the next publish goes through.

Same tip, but without the need to leave the game....
Use an Interplanetary Survey Droid to survey a planet for available resoucres. The ISD will send back an Email that lists all resources of the chosen type and can even be completed even after your character is logged out. If you send off an Interplanetary Survey Droid to each planet, for a chosen resource type, you will be able to make a full listing of what is where, and when.

Same here, its extremely useful for locating NPCS like BH missions, and certain types of creatures or players in a group.

Besides...I wonder why strategetic bases were removed, and if they're expected to make a comeback......hmmm

Or you could remember what you are harvesting or use swgcraft.com .
.Okay now for the tip...
/notepad or /no is one of the greatest ways to easily copy and paste things in game(like shop names with colors and multiple lines)

/ui action clearCombatQueue
that always comes in handy
also using ctrl+[number of player in group list] is an easy way to select group members fast

COLORED NUMBERS
Go to control+O and then chat.
Add each number 0-9 and color them what ever color is best for you. Mines yellow.
So now whenany number comes up on the screen, its really easy to see what it is.
They stand out from the rest of the text.
When people give you waypoints, Tips, damage taken or given in the combat box, and many more things I cant think of right now.
