4.2. Datapad (CTRL+ D keys)

The Datapad is a used for storing data, including waypoints, mission details, and schematics.

WAYPOINTS AND MISSION DETAILS
Waypoints are navigational aids. Whenever you receive a mission, a waypoint is stored in your Datapad. In addition, the full details of a given mission, including any targets, are stored in the Datapad.

You can activate and deactivate a mission's waypoint by choosing Details from the radial menu and selecting Activate Waypoint or Deactivate Waypoint. The waypoint will appear as an orange arrow on your radar; when you near the mission objective, the waypoint will appear as a column of light in the world.

You can create a new waypoint wherever you' re standing by clicking the New Waypoint button.

You can name a waypoint you' ve created by choosing Set Name from the waypoint's radial menu.

Clicking the Change View button displays the waypoints as icons.

You can only store a limited number of waypoints. The percentage listed in the Waypoint window increases as you add waypoints; when the meter reads 100 percent, you' ve reached your limit and must destroy a waypoint before creating a new one.

YOU MIGHT THINK THAT YOU HAVE THE DIRECTION SENSE OF A HOMING DROID, BUT IT' S EASY TO GET LOST OUT IN THE WILD. AND HEROES WHO GET LOST TEND TO GET EATEN ...OR WORSE. USE WAYPOINTS TO LEAD YOU BACK TO KEY SITES, LIKE OUTPOSTS, CITIES OR YOUR GUILD HALL. IF YOU FORGET TO CREATE WAYPOINTS AND FIND YOURSELF TAKIN' A MUD NAP ON TALUS, I DON' T WANT TO HEAR ABOUT IT ....
