So why can't we track our own Droids and Speederbikes.

^^ feature request! Wouldn't it be great to be able to track your mount? I always forget where I've left mine and I eventually get a tell saying "is this your mount, he's lying incapped over here" or "could you get your mount out of the cantina" (I didn't leave him there I promise). Or, it would be great if we could track our harvesting droids after they get spooked and take off for the hills....

But we can even track CSRs (at least we used to be able to) -- I remember doing an areatrack at the starport on day and seeing that I was standing 2m away from an invisible CSR. I was going to send her a tell saying "hey did you know that everyone can see you" just to mess with her, but I decided that maybe I should just leave well enough alone. Of course, this was a long time ago and I haven't tracked a CSR since, so maybe they nerfed it.

Poop on the moisture farmer, what a pain in the butt.

I've noticed he likes to hike along the mountains. What I do is go to Mos Entha starport, there is a commoner NPC behind the starport that gives a wp for the Sennex Cave there. Then I just head toward the cave. The farmer is usally somewhere along the way, sometimes I miss him and only find him on the way back though.

I was hired last night to find the pirate spawn for 1mil and found the pirate leader in a matter of twenty minutes. Problem was, he was bugged. Couldn't attack him at all. My client left crying but I told him not to worry, I always find my prey.

The pirate leader shows up as a white dot when someone's already talked to him (he doesn't despawn right away). He usually spawns again in the same spot a few minutes later so that's why you might see two of them standing next to each other.

I miss that... especially now that my cats warp 150+m to go after bordoks and often they'll start 4m away then off-radar suddenly only to find them a couple hours later still playing with some critters (can't store them for a long time either, because they're in combat).

It was annoying at times when what you were tracking was off the bottom of the list, but it was much preferred over losing pets and droids

Uhg I've gotten the unattackable P-Leader too. If he is a white dot forget it. He should be a red dot. His buddies will be yellow dots.

ALWAYS target the Pirate Leader and check that he shows up with 10k+ HAM, before you report his WP. You'll sometimes find stray Pirate Leaders from misson lairs that have way lower ham.

He didn't even show up as a white dot which should have been my first clue. But, I've never tracked quest spawns before so what the heck said I. Anyways, I'll try again tonight.
