Wan't to play together sometime?
I'm making a rifleman/scout/medic, which will end up as a rifleman/combat medic.
Second character is an artisan, which is going to be and weaponsmith and probably an armorsmith.

How do you gain scouting experience? I've killed random animals and never managed to harvest any meat off of them or anything, so I'm stumped on this one.

[Vactor]

It may be that you're killing sentient beings that just look kinda animal like, kinda like a wookie or a ewok.   There should be a radial menu that lets you skin or harvest bones from them, if there isn't its probably a sentient that isn't butcher-able.  You can also get scouting xp by masking your scent and running past an animal.

I'm somehow stuck at the character screen.
It just won't finish loading the game.

Also, if memory serves, you can set up camps with camp kits and if your allies rest and use the camp you'll get scout exp for it. I used to do this once my play group hit a wall and needed to rest and recoup. after we'd gotten low on various stats after prolonged hunting. The combat medic would rest up and throw out the odd heal as his stats recovered to allow it, while our teras kasi (sp?)/entertainer would dance/play music to restore our other stats, and I'd settle down and sample a bit. And since in the camp it's treated as if you were at a cantina, the heals and entertainment all got huge buffs. Then after we moved on, I'd get scout exp for the fact it had happened at my camp!

Not only that, but if you've got a moderately sized camp (increased skills allow this) then wandering hunters, or even groups will drop by to get some heals and buffs if they see it going on, so even more exp!

Today I always get stuck at "Connecting to the Galaxy".
Any ideas what I can do?

Edit:
Nevermind.
Looks like more people are having that issue.

Re: a conversation about tabbing with Mindmaker - the tab selection macro menu:

/ui action cycleTargetInward - Selects the next closest target from your current target
/ui action cycleTargetNext - Selects the next target
/ui action cycleTargetOutward - Selects the next farthest target from your current target
/ui action cycleTargetPrev - Selects the last target you had

Maybe I shouldn't have been so hasty with buying the game.

I mean you don't have much to do, you won't understand much of it without help from ofthers and its an overall boring an tedious experience...

Part of this is because they haven't implemented some major parts of the game, part of this is that this is a pre-WoW mmo, and part of it is because SWG was more community driven than content driven.  The functioning economy is in my opinion the best part of the game, however right now they are missing housing and factories which kinda put a cap on what you can do with production.  SWG was more about social interaction than modern MMO's, they have an entire class based on hanging out in cantinas and dancing or playing music.  The fact that you can dual log, which is useful, may be detracting from the social aspect, as many people are afk.  This is definitely a game where you made your own story.  In the original game I didn't start a resource gathering company because I got a quest to do it, but it did lead to some pretty cool things, including the cornering of a particular market, a notable effect on the ingame economy, and new relationships with other players, some as foes some as friends.

Well, I'll make a newcomer thread on the swgemu forums.

Maybe I'll find some people there and it will actually become fun then...

[CJ1145]

I would have had this by now, but dammit it's like there's a broken bridge between me and Best Buy.

Oooh funtimes: the Object Restructure is in public testing now, a few hours a day anyway they will be stress testing how the object system works now. This is the big thing they've been working on for well over a year, and it's getting close to finished, finally
