Well, looks like i m another victim of the bug.


I wanted to change my vendor from machine to npc. So i put all weapons in the backroom and a destroyed the machine. Then i put the npc, nice looking calamari, and i just put items in the stockroom for sale. I didnt check anything and didnt undertand why my sales were so low.


When i saw a customer after coming back from hunt, i ask him how he likes the new vendor. He answered cute but..abit empty. I checekd and no weapon was displayed even tho on the region option they did show up. so i withdrew them from sale and tried to retrieve them. NO WAY! Impossible to retrieve. 400k worth of stock.



actually the items are shown as follow ; item.planet.planet instead of item.planet.location so the server doesnt identify them as being on the vendor and you cant get them back.



Is there a way to have somebody intervene to get back your stock.I mean i jsut cant buy anything back..i spent it all on stock..and i cant display my stock!

I've read there's some bugs that cause NPC vendors not to work right... I also see a bug where the NPC only costs 1 credit a day to operate.

Which is better?

What are the pros and cons? I can get either.

I use NPCs, they look better than the ugly machines and the 1-credit thing is great for when you have tons of expensive stuff on them. If I had a machine I'd be paying over 2k an hour in maintenance.

I just read a post saying that they fixed the 1 credit NPC bug yesterday?

Do you have problems with things disappearing on the NPC's?
