Okay so since a few have requested help about my macros thought I'd post a very basic guide to getting you started on it. So here is my how to guide of a basic replacement macro. I've tried making it as idiot proof as possible but of course there will always be questions that I've missed so don't be afraid to ask.
Okay first you'll need to download this to get you started http://www.autohotkey.com/download/
just click on the AutoHotkey Installer icon and follow the instructions for installing.
After you've installed it open it and a message like this should come up
Click yes
Then this should open up in note pad
Clear everything you see on this and replace it with
::whatever button you want to use to activate the macro::What message you want the macro to say. e.g.
::+::Admiral Lich:
If you want to have more than one thing then just add more by doing
::key::message
e.g.
::=::/local Admiral Lich:
::+::Admiral Lich:
Now what you need to do is save and close that notepad document and then load the scripts(I'm assuming you know how to save the file and close)
To load the scripts you need to right click on the hotkeys icon in your system bar and select reload scripts, you have to do this everytime you edit a script. http://img715.imageshack.us/img715/1989/number5.png
Now that you've done that you should find that everytime you press + then space it'll come up Admiral Lich and everytime you press = it should come up /local Admiral Lich
Or whatever you've made the macro do for you insted. Which I'm hoping that only one person on the server is using Admiral Lich.
Keep in mind you can't have it joining on to anything for it to work so you couldn't type blah= and it come up as blah/local Admiral Lich you have to have no letters before the macro aswell as a space after it +A doesn't become Admiral LichA it just keeps as +A.
If you have wish to edit the script and change what button you are using then right click on the hotkeys icon in your system bar and select edit script and remember after you've finished editing and have saved and quit the notepad again to RELOAD scripts.
There is obviously millions of other things this program can be used for but I thought that I'd let you find those on your own and just get you started with the one that I use more than any other
= becoming /local Admiral Lich:
+ becoming Admiral Lich:
saves soo much chat time and helps you keep in character just that little bit more.
P.S. I made this tutorial quite along time ago back when I was using Windows XP I'm now using Windows7 insted and I'm too lazy to make a new tutorial for the programs I now use. So if you got Windows7 and want help speak to Zelot since it's clearly his fault for your lack of knowledge on these matters.
You know these macros could technically be used for actions that are not quite.....allowed. So why write a tutorial on it? Furthermore, why post the tutorial here?

What do you want to do against people using Macros to autofly behind you and SNAC your butt? Ban them? With what proof?

I could post a tutorial on shooting stuff in a capital, and it could be used for shooting transports in game.
Should I not post the tutorial that could greatly benefit those who use it correctly because of it?
2.1 Following actions are considered cheating on server:
- Using non-Discovery mods, speed-related and loot-related mods especially, as well as using modifications that improve stats of items and ships;
- Changing account information and using any kinds of software that changes normal gameplay; - Using any equipment not included for sale/looting in Discovery mod, cloaks for example;
- Using equipment that exceeds ship specs;
- Cloning, e.g. creating new characters to collect starting money;
- Single player using two or more computers to fly their own characters.

Using any program that did not come with the Discovery mod may be considered cheating.
