If you have more than one vendor in a structure and register them with the planetary map, the overlay city map becomes illegible, as the vendor names stack on top of each other.

Has anyone found a work around to this problem other than only placing one vendor per structure?

Just a guess -- does giving them all the same name help at all?

Hmm... haven't tried that. That might help a little, but the names do shifta few pixels relative to each otherin the overhead map when you rotateor move.

It's also a bit problematic when trying to distuingish vendors to your customers (which one sells what).

It's worth a shot though.

I just register one vendor and give it the name that I want on the planet map. Like:

ITC - Nivea's Outfits

The rest of the vendors are named Exotic, Gowns, Over-wear, and Accessories.

Unless you need every vendor registered?

I'd ideally like to register vendors in the same structure under different categories (housing & equipment for example), but it looks like that's probably not going to happen. I wish there was a generic "structures" category. That would solve my problem
