I think when this bug is actually fixed and u dont have to reregister ur vendor anymore on the planetary map the list of vendors on the planetary map is going to become ridiculously long. im not saying i liked the bug im just saying now we're going to have to deal with people being waaaaaaaaaaaay at teh bottom of the vendor lists. I personally dont like the way advertising is handled anyway. (i'd like to see advertising signs or vids at star and shuttle ports) maybe one solution Marqie that u could suggest is a rotation of the vendors on the list: every one or two days the names from the bottom get put to teh top and it cycles so everyone gets a chance to show their vendors at the top of the list.

i dont think it will be a problem chap....most people shop by whats close to them at the time...so it dont matter where you are in the list...i could live with the rotation idea...but its not a #1....just be glad youll not have to reset them every day and all that

I'vve also noticed that the vendors on the list are randomized in order. Lately I've been advertising a vendor at the end of the day, before reset as a test, and have been getting placed at the middle or bottom of the list. When you advertise a vendor it's random, and I've noticed when others advertise it re-randomizes the list. But if you are cocerned, occasionaly unregister and re-register.

"occasionally unregister and reregister" - LOL - isn't that what we do every single day ?

I can't unregister and re-register. If I accidentally click too soon and get the wrong listing, I'm done until the server reset. I can un-register...but for the duration of that server day, I can't reregister at all. The option is there, but nothing happens when I click on it.

To the main point, I don't think the long lists will be an issue. Thank goodness we won't have to do it daily! Most people will pick the first stop for one of2 reasons: a. Proximity, b. brand recognition.

Their buying decision is a different subject entirely. This only refers to getting their feet (and wallets) in the door.

That and the new vendor tax might alleviate some of that.

Actually, I hope so.

It's a bit disheartening to be on a strange planet, desperate for resources, and to find only one shop name on the map and it's 10000m away.

I'd rather have a long index that I can look through. And the longer the index, the more likely that I can find a shop that is close by.
