Ok, wild thought on the Merchant Vendor Item Limit.

Would it make sense to be ablet to make Factory Crates of items, and put the FC on the vendor.

Then, when the purchaser comes along, they are given an option to Purchase 1-XX items at "ABC" Credits each?

Hence, I go to a vendor, and see a stack of 25 CDEF Pistols listed at 10 credits each. I select "Buy" and I get a slider pop up that allows me to select any number from ONE to the Crate LIMIT. So if I select 1 i pay 20 credits, if I select 5 iI pay 50 credits, if I select the whole crate of 25 I pay 250 credits.

Also, if you UP the LIMIT on Factory Crates to hold 1k each, then this would effectively solve a good chunk of the vendor problem with database enteries, yet allow the crafter to produce en mas. In essence, the purchaser would be "splitting" the Factory Crate as you would in your inventory, and taking ownership of the split off amount of items.

For argument sake, this would allow a master Armorsmith to have 1000 suits of composite on their vendor, but only use 9 vendor item slots.

Thoughts??

Sweet, great minds think alike I guess. I've thought of this also, sent feedback and posted in other forums. Hopefully our idea will reach the ears of an open-minded developer.

Well, as far as I can tell, this *WOULD* reduce database item entries, *AND* allow crafters to hock wares.

Of course, it could be a complete and total programming nightmare.
