i don't know if this has been posted already, i thought of this while trying to follow an A-wing. If u know that your engine is faster than thiers this works great, almost as good as /follow. i named the macro "match". {{{/matchspeed; /pause 1; /macro match}}}

I rather like {{/launchMissile; /macro Missile;}}, it shoots harmless missiles. I use it to track things when i cant see them or their turned funky..

I'm at work and cant test this - the /launchMissile command turns your POV towards the target?

No it launches a dummy missile which does no damage. but its incredably FUN! specially in a macro...

Ok, so what do you do about the spam from the macro when you don't have a ship targeted or how do you interrupt the loop?

Actually, I use one similar, only for Tier5 A-wings, except it's 0.1 pause instead of 1.

Pretty interesting numbers come up if I try to use it on Tier4 anything... like when the Black Sun Fighter is doing 468 IN REVERSE in front of me...

to interupt the loop, i use a /dump macro and put it on a button next to the match macro, or u can simply target another ship, or even yourself.

This saves you pressing it every second, hence the pause 1....


Great macro saved my joystick buttons from wearing away.
