Architect Archive

This is complete non-sense!!!

Let's see. I am an artisan (architect in particular). To sell my wears I have to put them on the bazaar OR open my own shop. Opening your own shop:

1. Leave town -- run 1000m or more in random direction
   to a build zone. Build your shop.
   
2. Get business III and place your vendor!
   
3. Put items on it!
   
4. Every week, they all come down! . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . What's up with that?
   
5. Now, anything that spends more than a day in your
   so-called "stock room" is deleted! . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . What's up with that?
   
6. Cost of maintaining vendor = 2cr/hour per 1000cr of
   items posted! That is, (2cr/hr * 24 hr/day) /1000cr
   = you pay 5% of value of items each day!!! . . . . . . . . . . . . . . What's up with that?
   

Why does everything we artisans do have to be accompanied by so
much maintainance cost? Why? Why?

Is the answer to add realism and pleasure to the game? No. I don't think so!

Well i have Hiring 2 from the merchant's skills , and my 2 NPC vendor maintenance rate is 1 on each.

But i still think there is some major bugs on vendor maintenance .

Is that a bug? If I get a two levels of merchant skill will my vendors cost go down by so much too!!! Please let me know! If its true -- woot woot!

I have a friend using those terminal vendor ....and like you , he told me those r so expensive !!

Im not using those terminal vendor for a long time ....since i noticed that my NPC vendor maintenance rate is 1.I can have for 300k items in it one day , 100k the other day , and maintenance rate still 1.

Anyone else have noticed that 1 rate maintenance on NPC vendors ?

Hiring skills from merchant dont really lower your cost , but giving you more variety of vendor like droid and NPC.

I have hiring 4 from the Merchant subset skills and my vendor maintenance is zero for both of my vendors.

On the NPC vendors the maint appears to be 0 but it's really just some small number. I checked and it costs me around 10 creds a day in one of my vendors. As for Terminal vendors another reason to NOT use them is when you get the planetary adv skill it doesn't work on the terminal vendors for some odd reason.
