They are the suxxxors. I agree in giving the tents at Novice Merchant level. Compare Merchant tents to a Cantina or even a Med Center and I think you have to agree that Merchants are coming up short. I would like to see a Merchant Building of some kind.
Wow! I hadn't even thought of it from that angle. "Performers, here's your new player theater. Chef's & Performers, here's your new player cantina. Merchants...have a glorified camp kit...."

I really like my tent, but I don't use it for my power business. Living in a beach town, I've used it to open a Bait & Tackle shop, stocking of course bait, rods. It is perfect for this r/p kind of business to add flavor to the town and is decorated as a shanty. Of course I don't expect to make much money with it, but we do offer some interesting services such as Rod Rentals (buy a pole and use it as long as you want, then sell it back for 300 credits less than you bought it for when you are done. We also buy whole fish which we fillet for more bait and we sell the meat privately. ***Makes it really nice to acquire large quantities of fish meat when others do the fishing for you, and buy the bait and rod from you to do it. Any fish is bought for 100credits of which we sell the bait for at least that much after filleting and the meat is profit.
The response has been very positive from all citizens and visitors, and other beach towns near us have copied the idea.
If you like, stop by Xanadu on Eclipse, Naboo and try your hand. Just watch out for our vendor... he's an old sea dog MonCal who is kind of ornery sometimes!
I love that idea.
Anyone who wants to see a perfect set up for Merchant tents check out New Unity (near Naboo) on TC. They have a square in front of the city hall dedicated to merchant tents. They have them set up with various merchandise categories and inside each one is 1 or more vendors that sell merchandise in that category. It is a nice little place where you can find most any kind of item you want.

Independent confirmation of this is The player City of RiverBend on Naboo in the Kettemoor galaxy. We created a city planning commission almost before we placed city hall. In the resulting discussions we laid out our town with almost the same arrangement, The merchant square is to the right of City hall (in front will be gardens) and beyond the square is the medcenter with the cantina and cloning center right next door.
Come by and visit some time. The waypoint is very easy to remember. 0,0
Yes when you get warped to center you will be in town instead of nowhere. When you loose a harvester or house it appears here so you can shuttle in to retrieve it or just to see what happened to it
(We get shuttle port on Friday -Indene-
Bounty Hunter Blues I'm finding the building restrictions on the merchant tent/factories to be more than a little annoying. I can put a small house down in a spot, but I can't put a tent or factory in the exact same spot.
They really need to make the tents match the small house building restrictions so I can get all the tents where I want them.
