I don't believe it will allow you to browse the actual vendor but instead of price list or other material written by the merchant into the droid. (I could be behind but I think that was the proposal) There are apparently technical limitations that prevent the vendors from being linked directly to the droids.


Re: Billboards there have been a couple of ideas floating around one of which has to do with city decorations. I haven't heard anything about those ideas one way or the other.

Naming harvesters is a simple billboard. I can't say absolutely that it made a difference, but it seemed that when I started naming my harvesters with a colored waypoint and short description, that traffic to my shop picked up a little.
