That you can use ctrl-p to display those hard earned profession titles above your character name for others to see.  It doesn't get displayed by default which I thought after ctrl-1 targeting myself to see.

This is wrong as Ctrl-P brings up the People (Community) window. Does anyone know how to display titles, really?

*thump*

Thanks for all the great tips guys...I'm off to try some of them out!!

Low budget? yes. Fast? no, not really.

Pick up some scout. Every time you make a trap or a camp you seem to earn some general crafting XP. And all of this is done with materials you are also then able to harvest off your kills.

So, does anyone know how to assign multiple inventory items to a single F-key yet?  Maybe a dev could help us out here?

Did you know?

Each mineral has a different quality - for example, some Fiberplast I got on Tattooine was able to get to higher stats (49% durability on my fiberplast panels as opposed to 34%).

Installations are not worth the maintanence!  You can get several thousand minerals - more than enough to reproduce that structure 100x over - without paying 1 credit of maintanence - just let it BURN.  Factories on the other hand... PAY THE MAINTANENCE!  They cost WAAAAY too much to just let burn.

Getting the Trapping ability up is really easy.  First, create tons of Glow-whatever (Increases susceptability to Ranged Attacks on Target, requires Trapping I, which can be gained thru using Lecepanine Darts), then find a really weak creature that does almost no damage to you.  Queueueueueueue (I actually found out that it's really spelled queue) 30 or 40 of them.  Wait.  Finish off the creature.  This will get you a good 1200-2000 experience right there.  For even more experience, get into a nice hunting party and find a high level creature.  Every time a trap hits, you'll get ~150 xp, and your allies who are pounding on it with their blasters will do more damage to it.

Get some friends!  Friends make the game so much more fun.  For example, a friend of mine (Don't want him to be spammed, so I won't name the Scoundrel... hehe) oftentimes groups with me to do missions.  The nice thing about having friends is that, instead of shouting 'LFG' and 'Someone let me join your group plz u r ub3r L334', you can just send a message to your friends about starting up a missions or hunting party and get it rolling right away.  Oh, and if you don't have anyone on your friends' list, type /friends - the bottom line's funny... 'You have no friends'

Get the Scout ability AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!  Why let hundreds of creatures' corpses go to waste?  Harvest them all and sell the hides/bones on the Bazaar.  You can easily get about 7.5cr a Hide/Bone, and you harvest about 8 per creature (really depends on level, I've had as low as 3, as high as 28)

Make macros for useful commands (Did I post this earlier... I don't remember) like /harvest bone, /harvest hide, /healdamage, /tendwound [wound], etc.  Makes the game a lot easier.

Assign Macros to buttons!  Extremely useful!  Go into the Keymap menu under Controls and click on 'Macros' (?) and assign the most used ones to buttons.  Who said you could only have 24 macros usable at the same time?

Hope these tips help all you n00bs... cuz if u r'nt l334, ur a n00b!  L334 C|23\/\/ ALL THE WAY

Actually, ctrl-p is right, there's just a little more you need to do. See the top of that community window? There are several tabs there. Click on the one labelled "Character". There you can set all kinds of information about your character, including a title. Select a title from the drop-down box and it'll display under your character's name to others. More titles become available to you as you master skills, so be certain to check back often to start wearing your new title with pride.

Yes it is, since as of the last patch harvesters no longer work if the maintenance isn't paid. I'm so happy about this, finally justice for those of us who went through all the trouble of paying the maintenance.

- A. Kimusume

Due to a game change yesterday, Installations now stop when their maintenance budgets go to 0 or below (the "X credits to repair" type of thing).  Sorry folks, but you knew it had to happen eventually.  Now, even in new harvestors, you have to pay maintenance before it even gets turned on or it will stop immediately.

Also, building a harvestor on an 80+% resource doesn't necessarily help, as it looks like some resources change daily now.  Here's what happened with minerals around Scylla's Mos Eisley, Tatooine area lately:

Friday: Lots and lots of Steel (5 types).  I was mining a 75% deposit of Cefooate Steel.  No Copper anywhere.

Saturday: Lost a Steel type, but was still lots of it around. Changed the Steel type I was mining to Soteob.  60-something% alumnum deposit vanishes, along with all other aluminum on the planet.  Started mining Vikla Ore instead.  One Copper type in miniscule amounts.

Sunday: Whoa, what happened?  One Steel Type, hard to find (everywhere, ironically, but in the towns Bank Square).  Started mining Copper, since there's now 3 or 4 types, one at a 77% deposit.  Aluminum returns, but in really low quantities.  The wind resource changed (Note to SOE:  Don't do that again or we'll hunt you down with carbines), requiring all wind generators to be updated.

Monday:  **edit**?  No Steel types on the planet anymore.  No Iron either (no ferrous metals = bad).  Five Copper types or so.  The Ore deposit I was mining vanishes.  Started mining Aluminum again, even though it's only 30-some%.

Tuesday:  Whoa, we have Steel again, 3 types.  One type is fairly easy to find.  Still lots of Copper, but less types.  A second wind type appeared.  Still mining Copper, changed Aluminum to Steel again, even though the deposit is only 40-some%.

So, as you can see, the resource AI is being run daily now.  I think we should start a petition to have it so that it only changes once or twice a week at most.

Thanks for the info Paweh, but at the risk of sounding like a jerk: This isn't really the thread for it.  Let's stick to "Did you know?" posts...

Here's mine:

Did you know?

You can /healdamage while sitting down? Your char automatically stands up when you use a stimpack and sits back down.  Good way to keep your mind regen to a maximum.

Ctrl-N is the default way to get Names to appear and disappear from npc's or pc's.  So to take a screenshot, first hit Ctrl-Shift-H to get rid of the hud, then Ctrl-N to get rid of the names.  (getting rid of the hud was already mentioned, but not the names )

OK, I'll condense my previous post:

Did you know: Resources move daily?

Medics, Did you know:

/healwound used without an argument will automatically heal whichever attribute that needs the most healing that you have wound medipacks for?

(/tendwound on the other hand requires you to specify a wound type.)
