#990 Usage: autoprof Gaining skill with weapon proficiencies doesn't just happen while training in a room with a dummy. When you're out in battle, you're able to learn and improve too. Toggling the 'autoprof' command will allow you to use your experience as you fight to improve your current weapon proficiency wherever you are as you fight. Much more practical than playing at home with a dummy. See Also: Toggle Autofire ~ #991 Skill Point Skill Cost: 10sp Medic Only Usage: automatic Sometimes a medic's motives are less than altruistic. In fact sometimes they may just be malpractice. Covert monitoring allows the medic to keep track of another player without that players consent or knowledge. This can provide the medic with some very detailed and personal information that the medic can personally use...or sell to the highest bidder. Note: This skill simply enables monitoring to occur without a message being sent to the patient. Unfortunately, the medic will not know for sure whether or not his monitoring attempt was covert.

By performing a more technically challenging repair, the healing effect of a repair is felt more immediately with less effort required. The way this affects technicians is they are only required to cast one of the repair skills to apply the effects of all three, a 'super' repair if you will.

Blaster Barrels: Short blaster barrel Compact turbo-laser barrel Small laser-focusing barrel Exotic Barrels: Long-range, laser focusing barrel Armor-piercing rifle barrel Flamethrower barrel Dart-launcher barrel Pulse rifle barrel Shrapnel-launching barrel Slug-thrower barrel See Also: Personal parts Blaster Exotic ~ #994 If a player becomes inactive for an extended period of time, the player will be forced to rent out of the game. This is done to avoid having dozens of idle players standing around the game. You should be aware that if you are force rented, the rent is multiplied by four so you would be wise to not let yourself go idle to long. However, avoiding force renting by botting (triggers, macros, etc) is NOT allowed and any player found doing this will be iced and required to explain their actions to an immortal. Consider this your warning. See Also: Rent ~ #995 The term botting refers to the use of macros or triggers to automate some elements of gameplay (i.e. giving a warning when a spell runs out, recasting a spell automatically, etc). This practice in of itself is not forbidden, but using automation to keep a player active while you have left the computer is NOT allowed and is considered cheating. You must keep careful watch over how you use botting to play your character, but be aware that it is a dangerous tactic if you frequently leave the computer.
