Greetings!
I have been selling Imperial FP for months now and have been using the same macro all this while. It goes as follows:
/del [client] 212;
/conversationstart;
/pause 2;
/ui action conversationResponse4;
/pause 2;
/ui action conversationResponse3;
/pause 2;
/ui action conversationResponse0;
/conversationstop;
/pause 2;
/ui action toolbarSlot00;
/conversationstart;
/pause 2;
/ui action conversationResponse4;
/pause 2;
/ui action conversationResponse3;
/pause 2;
/ui action conversationResponse0;
/conversationstop;
/pause 2;
/ui action toolbarSlot00;
I use it after first declaring to go Overt and then choosing to go Covert immediately. It takes one hour to revert back to a Covert status and the macro runs during that period of time.
My question is:
Is there a better macro? ie. one which takes up a lot less time?

i do mine in blocks of 100. it's easier for me to add how much i have sent that way. when i get off work i'll post my macro.

With regards to knowing how much i've sent, I just calculate the cost to myself and place only that amount in my Bank account. Since the macro takes the money out of my bacnk account, I just stop ti when it reaches 0

but if you aren't careful, like me, it'll switch to your other creds. i'm real bad about that.

Possibly a dim-as-a-plank question: If I transfer my credits from bank to cash, leaving only the amount in the bank that I want to spend on FP....and then some cheeky Reb shoots me while overt....can s/he loot the lot off me? I dont PvP and am not clear on the consequences of getting toasted while overt?

I use that macro-minus any loops, and with 100 fp at the delegate amount-then I have a second macro that calls that macro 5 times with 10 second breaks between calls to let it finish, and a third macro that called the 5 cycle macro 4 times, so I end up running 2K with one button- provided there is not a lot of lag, it's quick and easy.

This macro is called faction:
/del [customer] 100;
/conversationstart;
/pause 2;
/ui action conversationResponse5;
/pause 2;
/ui action conversationResponse3;
/pause 2;
/ui action conversationResponse0;
/pause 2;
/conversationstop;
/conversationstart;
/pause 2;
/ui action conversationResponse5;
/pause 2;
/ui action conversationResponse3;
/pause 2;
/ui action conversationResponse0;
/pause 2;
/conversationstop;
This macro is called faction500:
/macro faction;
/pause 10;
/macro faction;
/pause 10;
/macro faction;
/pause 10;
/macro faction;
/pause 10;
/macro faction;
/pause 10;
/pause 10;
/macro faction;
/pause 10;
/macro faction;
/pause 10;
/macro faction;
/pause 10;
/macro faction;
/pause 10;
This one is called faction 2K:
/macro faction500;
/pause 55;
/macro faction500;
/pause 55;
/macro faction500;
/pause 55;
/macro faction500;
/pause 55;
/tell eanow done;
/pause 55;
/macro faction500;
/pause 55;
/macro faction500;
/pause 55;
/macro faction500;
/pause 55;
/tell eanow done;
I put the three macros in the toolbar, and I hit the 2K one once I get the name in faction correct. I run 2K at a time, and use 500 or 100 to finish it off (like if a customer wanted 2500, or lag caught me and one run didn't go through)
The tell at the bottom of the 2K one is helpful since it lets me know with an audio cue when it's done since I often will alt-tab or do like some calculus homework while running it.

Thanks a lot dude!
This should come in very handy. Oflate i've been getting a lot of requests for FP, most of them over the 50k mark. It can get rather tedious with my macro as it takes the better part of an hour to complete the whole deal. This macro would make things MUCH easier

Can you post how those macros work exactly?
