Well, I say "new" but I'm sure a lot of people have suggested some of these already. But, what if we could add npc's in our shops that are simply there for looks, and make the place feel more alive? I think this would add to the appearance of your shop (mainly if its a cantina type place, you could drop a bunch of barfly's at the bar and stuff like that.) This would be cool for outside the shop too, I run a tavern on Tatooine, and I'd love it if I could park a bunch of swoop bikes out front, to give the impression theres a bunch of hardass biker types inside drinking.

Also I think another cool idea, would be to where we could add ambient sounds into our shops. Rather than listening to the loud buzzing and hums of crafitng stations, you could make the place sound alive, with people talking in the background, things getting moved around (or possibly dropped) or even music that could be playing if you have loudspeakers near by. Maybe, have preset sounds like, 3 or so sound settings for a workshop type environment, and more for a cantina type place, and so on.

These are some idea's I've been thinking about, I could go on forever but it would start to get me dreaming rather than thinking what could realistically be added. Anyways, tell me what you think about these.

Nice ideas. Personally, one of the biggest improvements they could make for me would be the ability to rename a vendor without having to totally unload, destroy, recreate.

I carry a LOT of items in my shop. Occassionally - categories of merchandise shifts - or new items are introduced and I'd really love to have that reflected in the vendor name - but unloading them (even if I had a free vendor to swap about - which I don't) is entirely more trouble than it's worth.

I wish we had a dialogue option instead of vendor spam as well. I use my vendor barking in some cases to tell the customer what a vendor carries - and in some cases - player education, such as my twilek barking that bio bonuses cap at 25 per bonus. (Not that most folks READ or can read thru all the vendor spam).

I'd much prefer (and originally thought this is the way it was going to work) the ability to create conversation trees kinda like a FAQ - customers could query a question and get the appropriate response. Would certainly cut down on the spam in my shop.

I'd like to see a merchant ability to open a business account at the bank. This would allow us to keep better track of our sales by placing all funds from vendor sales into the business account.

I am co-owner of a business and my partner and I have a very hard time tallying up what the business makes compared to what we make personally. I'd love to use the business account to pay for all shop related expenses etc...

Thoughts?
