Now that you've started your journey through the wide open galaxy, follow these tips for some basic information that will help make your time spent in the universe a little easier!

Radial Menu

Can't figure out how to interact with objects such as chairs, terminals, and even other players? Make sure to hit the ` button while targeting the object you wish to interact with, so that you can bring up the radial menu and whatever options are available to you at that time.

Here, you can choose to interact with objects, such as sitting in a chair, or you can use it to start trades with other players, examine them, or challenge them to a duel!

Command Browser

Do you want to add some new commands to your toolbar, but can't seem to find where they are? Hit the ; button to bring up your command browser.

This is where you will find the combat, social, mood, macro and other commands that you have earned and have available to you for use. To put them on your toolbar, just drag them to an empty slot and then you're ready to go!

Expanded Toolbar

After discovering all of the commands at your disposal, there's no doubt you will want to make use of them all! To make it as convenient as possible, expand your toolbar to a second row!

Go to the options menu, select "Interface" and then select the Expand Toolbar to Second Row option. Once you have that selected you will have slots open for your actions, pets, and ITV's!

Take a minute to look at all of the options available to you. There are a myriad of them that can be used to help you customize your experience. If you take the time to check them out, you can decide what works best for you!

Datapad

Did you get your speeder from Han but don't know how to access it? Maybe you rode it around for a while, then decided to take a break in the cantina only to come back outside and find it had disappeared! Don't fret young Padawan, no one has stolen your speeder!

To access your datapad, simply press the K button to bring it up and then click on the "Data" tab. This where you will find all of your vehicles and pets.

While in the datapad, check out the "Waypoints" tab. This is where you will find all of the locations of your current quests. Here, you can activate and deactivate any of your current waypoints, making finding your quests a little easier.

Also on your datapad, you will notice the "POI" tab. This is a tab that holds waypoints to locations of interest that you might already be familiar with; so if you are looking to find some of the iconic places in our galaxy, you can use these waypoints to your advantage!
