I'm not yet as far to get a NPC vendor, but might be in some time.

However what interests me is, does a character generator instance pop up that allows me to design the look of the NPC vendor? And can I dress it up the way I want? Or is all randomized by the system?

You get no choice in clothing until Management III, Uniforms. Then at Management IV you can dress them and equip them as you wish.

Until Management III though you're simply stuck with what they come dressed in.

The race, clothing, etc is random. You can pick the gender. As you go up the Hiring skill set you can customize the NPC vendor more, including clothes (I"m not there yet, and can't get in the game today, so not sure where it comes in).

To dress the vendor you just give it to them, although how this actually works Im not sure....

Once you have given them the item you can never get it back though..

Usual race limitations apply (no humans wearing wookie helms etc.)

HIring 3 (uniforms)lets you dress them

As to what Hiring 4 - (( Corporate image) does - who knows ??

Probably makes your vendor eat all your items, cash, house, everybody elses house within 1000 meters disapears. All resources on the given planet disapear,makes the server crash, and increases your montly subscription to $2763576.00 per monthif the usual merchant bugs are anythnig to go by...

Has anyone actually got to Hiring 4 ?? - It'll be the last tree i train (and I might not even bother as Master merchant is nothing buta title....)

I have been at Hiring 3 for days....I have yet to see an option to change clothing.

Can anybody else who has this skill tell me how this is done?

I will be at Hiring 4 today, and I'll let you know what's new.

I think what you do is drag the clothing from your inventory and drop it on the vendor.

It doesnt seem to work so well. I tried putting a Flight Suit on my Gran vendor and he didnt wear it. Then i put a Robe of Honor on my Ithorian vendor, and he wears it, but his regular shirt shows through underneath it, and so do parts of his arms and legs, so its very patchy.

So I have to rely on the game for the characters look. How high are the chances of getting a fat mama instead of a nice vendor?

BUG - It says you can dress them at 3 but you can not till four - I am not that high yet but close - you drag and drop items to your vendor...click on robe drag to vendor in your store and they say atm I dont have to wear that just becuause you say so...anyway I hope they add something to master other than title - like hiperdrive parts maker - anything but a title

I have hiring IV and I have yet be able to get my vendors to wear anything.

Cloaks, shirts, skirts, gloves, dresses, pants. Won't wear any of them. Tried different species and genders.

TripleDES... it's random but you CAN keep picking it up and dropping a new one until you find a vendor that suits you.

The clothing attire is bugged everyone, as well as ad barking, as well as retriving items, and oh yeah, advertising on the map. Hopefully they get around to all the broken stuff soon but I guess bandwith ad preformance problems take precedent.
