Wow, guess it does pay to read the forums, I love the "armor on" "armor off" post.  I think I'll read on to see what else I can find.  I just wish I had more time to play... 

Good things come to those who wait.

Yikes... Just a warning about that...  They just recently added a delay for putting on armor.  Now when you use the "armor on" macro it will take a good 20 to 30 seconds to put on all of your armor.  There is now around a 5 second pause between the time you put on one piece and the time you put on the next piece.
 
It was changed to prevent some sneaky things some players were doing, but it has a pretty big impact on the rest of us...  I hope they rethink it.  (although realistically it does make sense for it to take a little bit of time to put armor on)


Some of my pet peeve bugs:
•Armorsmith protection layers were not converted with the CU.
•Ship Details window does not close when you click "Travel" resulting in the message "You have lost the target. Closing interface."

Also, the fan sites are a huge help to everyone. SWGs main site has a link to most of the good ones. It's under Community and Community Sites on the left hand side.

I can't tell you how much good www.SWGCraft.com has been for me and many others. Great site. Support them by donating what you can if you use them and find them useful. It costs time and money to run and put together these sites and they're free to use and a great service to the SWG community.

Be sure and visit the Fan Site links page either from SWGs main page or my link above for more sites. These are just a few that I find helpful. Of course there's always the big ones like SWG Vault, SWG Stratics, SWG Warcry, Allakhazam and SWG Resource Center (SWG Center)

Read the link posted above this, but the two things you mention are parts of a Loot Kit that you can get from a Junk Dealer (look for a Vendor on the CTRL-M map in major non-player cities)

Each loot kit requires 10 components to build whatever item the loot kit is for. (like a blue rug, etc)  You have one part each for two different sets.  You can possibly trade one of them with another player for a piece you need, depending on which loot kit you decide to get.  My guess is that an adhesive is just one of the 10 components you need for the kit.

Well, I think one possible reason for your macro not to be working is because your /ui action cycletargetOutward command should be targetting the nearest enemy and the blank /target command might be untargetting it.  You don't need the /target command in there at all.

However, I would suggest that if you just started you go out and have some fun with the game first and worry about making macros after you've been playing the game for a few weeks.  There is a lot of the game to try and many different professions to learn before you write a macro and have the game play itself.

You can try some delivery missions and some low level destroy missions until you get used to combat and the way things work.  Try forming small hunting parties with mainly new players and help each other out.  Maybe explore some of the planet you are on.  You can visit some of the Points of Interest and just walk around the major towns and talk to some of the NPCs and do little missions for them.  There are quite a few missions and quests you can do.

If you're just trying to get a faster way to get meat, that's one thing, but if you just started and you don't watch out, you'll end up in a cloning tube quite often with that method.

On the other hand, if you're trying to climb your prfession trees faster, I suggest just relaxing and earning your XP at a normal pace.  It's a lot more fun that way.  You get to experience some of the lower level fun stuff in the game that you will miss if you rush through it.

 

Anyway, back to your main question... There are several really good macro articles on these forums and on other sites.  I don't have the time to hunt one down at the moment, but try scrolling down to the bottom of the forum page and type in "macro guide" in the search blank and click search.  I remember one called something like "The FULL command list and macro guide" or something like that.  Good luck.

•Armorsmith protection layers were not converted with the CU.

Theres probably a vehicle rental voucher in your inventory but if you want one regularly, then find a vendor.  Get plenty of cash first though, vehicles don't come cheap!
