Q: How do you change the sysgroup message color on others screen so as to ensure the message is heard more clearly.

A: /sysgroup \#00FFFF Message (For Yellow, the colors are hex digits for each RGB color \#RRGGBB)

Q: Is there a quick method to sending sysgroup message (Like /g for group or /gu for guild)

A: I've created an alias

/alias sl /sysgroup \#00FFFF

Then you can use "/sl Message" To send commands quickly

PS: /sg , /gs and a few other straightforward aliases don't want to work.

A: The terrain negotiation, burst run efficiency and defensive mods simply add to what they already have. For the terrain mods 1-50 modifies how well you move uphill. From 51-100 it modifies your crawl speed. Burst run efficiency is a percentage reduction in the cost of a burst run. So at +100 your burst run is 100% less cost, or free. This does not modify the amount of time you can run or how long it takes to get the run back. It only modifies the cost.

Q. What are the equations for adding on group skill mods to other players? Such as +25 Group Terrain Negotiation to players with or without Terrain Skill mods from Scout.






I am sure its just a simple addition to the original mods. I just figured it would be a good question for those who are new to SL.

Some answers to above questions
Q. Is volley fire suppose to work after everyone is attacking, or was it meant to force everyone to attack the target you choose?
Q. Why does VolleyFire fail to cause the group to fire, even when the system message returns, "You order a volley of fire"
A. After system message returns, "You order a volley of fire", the ability triggers, which means that during a fight (thats also why nothing happens when you are not already fighting) everybody (well.. except people with heavy weapons, melees or pets) shoots a single time at your selected target, may hit or may not, doing their base weapon damage.
Afterwards they switch back to their former target, or do nothing in case they weren't fighting before.

Q: Does the SL skill mods work (ie. Terrain Negotiation and Burst Run Efficency)?
A: Burst Run Efficency works. Terrain Negotiation seems to work most of the times, when the player is relatively near to you.

Q. Has anyone else noticed no change to a person without scouting in there terrain movement speed?
A. Well Bob seemed a little ill the last time I saw him, but with all the trouble he and his wive went through.. you know ... honestly... what kind of question is that to an Q&A anyway? :-) Its already included in questions like 'How does Terrain Negotiation work' as far as I can tell.. a PA member of mine has no scouting whatsoever and keeps on laughing joyful, running ahead of me, so I guess the answer is no :-)

Q. What are the equations for adding on group skill mods to other players? Such as +25 Group Terrain Negotiation to players with or without Terrain Skill mods from Scout.
A. Pardon?

A: Doesnt really matter.. the human +10 Leadership bonus doesnt apply to Squad Leader abilities at all. Abilities are up to know extreme on Mind and Action HAM.

Q: Why is Squad leader souly dependant on other classes(vice the macroed dancers going 24/7)for exp and JUST combat?


Q: If you want diversification in the elite skill trees, why not make this class viable to train or at least somewhat useful?


Q: Why do holocrons require customers, who wish to pursue and roleplay the jedi path, to master a class that is virtually impossible to obtain within reasonable time frame compared to other classes?


Q: If I want to change my holocron who doI have to brown noseto get it done?(j/k)


A: just buy a new account and use your holocrons and pray you don't get SL again. Sony will gladly take your money via paypal. You too can pay to play a Jedi. That or buy holocrons/FS slot chars on ebay soon as they are unlocked. Patience will allow you to use your money wisely.

Guys, please stay on-topic. Asking why a skill is broke, why an ability costs so much, etc. etc. are not questions that are relavent to the class, they are simply a matter of opinion formed into a question.

To change the color of your /sys message... you do.....


/sys \#00ff00You haveopened your force sensitive slot... log out now to activate. (or whatever)...


You can put any color after the \# For a list of colors go to: http://www.hypersolutions.org/pages/rgbhex.html


I vary the color depending on the color of the planet... I find different colors work better depending on night / day... ect... The standard white is difficult to read.
