Thread: POLL: Your Top Issue
Please refrain from debating the issues in this thread just list them.
I was assuming he means to de-register from the Planetary map on becoming empty, so your vendor can just be relisted next time you restock...

That is a bit over kill, as it would mean that if my uniformed vendor became temporary empty while I made new products in a factory it would be deleted. Could be expensive in uniforms, (not to mention loss of the maintains on them).
Empty vendors!
An empty vendor should never be listed on the planetary or overhead map, only ones with at least one current sale up. This is the only form of advertising currently available, and it is useless because customers now have less than a 50-50 chance that anything at all will be for sale. Customers can't use it with any confidence.
An empty vendor should not need you to click refresh before you find out it is empty, that should at least be visible on the radial, if not earlier.
I would prefer that vendors were deleted promptly on becomming empty. It would solve a world of problems with cities, dropping Merchant skills, advertising etc., but has an easy bypass if you stop buy every 30 days to refresh your 999999999cr Chance Cube. But I do understand that this might be an issue for folks that carefully select and dres them.
