I have 2 vendors, they are dressed the way I want, they say what I want them to say, they are even registered with the Planetary map!!!


If I drop merchant entirely OR surrender and become a 0/0/0/0 Merchant, will my vendor lose it's ability to be registered with the Planterary map?? Or will it stay? Also if someone could comfirm that I could drop Merchant all together and still keep my vendor, sell items and pay maintenance, I would really appreciate that!

The planetary registration is the most important thing I don't want to lose. I guess I'll have to give it a try in a couple days when I start lacking available skill points.


Thanks for the information.

You keep everything you had prior to dropping it which is good and bad.


Eventually they will loose the merchent discount for operating (as soon as you pay up after dropping it updates) but it will keep all options like barking and planet map.


the bad side is you cant remove those once you drop it. meaning they will be stuck with whatever barking and always cost more due to planetary Advertising.

Does merchant signage stay after dropping the Management line? I am thinking if you put up a Sign #4 from Management IV and dropped it, the merchant sign would remain. Has anyone experienced this?

Yes Signs stay as well.


but like my above post you cant change it if you dont have the skill. So pick one you like, admin'd merchants can change your sign for you too if you let them.

from what i hear as soon as the new patch comes out, you vendor will go bye bye as soon as you give up the box if your vendor has attributes related to the box you just gave up. so if you have a wookie vendor and you give up the hiring line that takes wookies away, your wookie walks away with all your goods. so just fyi. just what i have heard and not confirmed but something to think about.

I'm not sure where you are hearing that, but I doubt it will ever be that drastic even when they do decide to make a change.
