for starters... /ui action cycletargetOutward dosnt seem to work for me... is this outdated or possibly im using it incorrectly...
my macro: "A"
/ui action cycletargetOutward;
/target; <--wasnt sure
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.
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."
