Has there been any news on the Planetary Vendor problems (where they don't show up on the map until the room is entered by a person (thus loading the vendor))? My vendor just doesn't load at all unless someone walks into the building.

Have the Developerssaid anything at all about this problem?

They haven't said anything about it. They know about it, I honestly don't think they can think of a way to fix it right now with the way the system is built. I have it listed as one of the current bugs to be addressed.

Thank you for your reply Doc. Please, try to stress to them that this is vital to those of us with merchant skills as this flaw is crippling to the "low intensity" businesses like us Droid Engineers. I don't think the fighter professionswould like it if their weapons only to worked a quarter of the time or so, and only when the server feels like it. Put it to the dev's that way.

I'd beenhaving the same problem, and I don't know if it's voodoo or luck or something else, but I've now placed 7 or 8 vendors over a two week period with no problems. Each time I follow this process, so you can try it and see if it works for you.

1) log in, wait for at least a few minutes doing other stuff.

2) Create the vendor, wait about 30 seconds before placing it

3) Place it, wait at least 20 seconds

4) Use radial menu to initialize it, then don't touch it for at least 20 seconds

5) Use the radial to pay exactly 100cr maintenance. Again wait 30 seconds or so

6) Use the radial to select USE VENDOR

7) after it works, go ahead and pay more maintenance

Don't ask why it works, but it has so far. Every time I deviate by either paying a lot of maintenance up front (I used to start with 1000) or by double-clicking before initializing it, or by double-clicking to use (instead of radial) something goes wrong and it never initializes. Sounds like superstition, and it may be. I can only say no problems in awhile now.

Oh my GAWD!!

I had been having some problems with initializing my vendor,saw this, tried it out of desparation. Now mind you at this point I was jaded...thinking "Meh... this is stupid... s'not gonna work..." Imagine my surprise when BOOM...it works PERFECTLY!! Thank you sir!!! You are a gentleman and a scholar.

Ok, I have just expierenced one.

When loading my vendor, I had 10 stacks of various resources, it only showed me 7, when I tried splitting them, none of them showed up in the vendor sale window.

I then recombined them, and that item was totally gone from the vendor sale window, even though it was in my inventory. If I put them in a bag, they showed up, but the second I moved one of the 'visible' items into the bag, the whole bag was invisible to the vendor.

Any ideas? LOL
