When making the dead for the harvester could you please make the first word in the dead be the type of harv so that those of use that use them can see at a glance if it is chem, mineral, etc. For example,
Chemical Harvester 13BER, 120k storage by JoeArch
is much better than
Dead for: 13BER 120k storage Chemical Harvester by JoeArch
Using the first nameing convention you can tell a farm from a mine at a glance in you back pack, however, using the second one they would look the same until you examined it.

That could be done, but did youknow that when searching a vendor the name column will slide to accomidate more of the description 
Easier to find that way as well. Just some food for thought for you.

Oh, this request has nothing to do with finding them in a vendor. It is just about finding them while in my backpack. Switching view styles back and forth from icon to name gets old.

In reality, this request should be sent to SOE, because while we can name them as you suggest,however once you have placed the harvester and then redeeded it, the default name is applied to the deed rather than whatever the deed was crafted with.
However, I agree with the concept you are promoting and suggest this naming concept should be used for ALL deeds not just harvestors. Following this method then, rather than Deed for Small Tat House perhaps it would be Tatooine Small House - do we really need to even call it a deed?
Cheers,

I don't agree. I like to put my vendor wp and city name in the short desc of each deed. I start with at least "D:" to separate the harvesters from every other deed, like factories. Sometimes weird short names are required because some harvester short descripts are easier to abreviate than others and of course something if you have more than one vendor wp, the constraints of space for the wp and the short desc are limited.
