Thread: Are PC vendors attackable?
Yes, PC vendors are attackable. They can't die though, and it really is just annoying and rude since the vendors end up just lying there until the merchant comes along and puts some money in for maintenance (1 cr. will do), then they stand up again.
Might be funny the first couple times, but then it just gets annoying.
This happens to me fairly often... someone keeps coming in and attacking all of the vendors in my shop (6 of them NPCs, 1 is a terminal which now has some dents and a "do not tip" with the picture of a squashed person on it, but is otherwise impervious to these attacks 
). They finish them with a bleeding attack, I guess, because they all twitch a bit on the ground, get up, then fall right back down.
The thing that scares me now is, they have a LOT of wounds... what happens when their wounds get so bad they have no bar??? They are already about half-black.
And I've yet to figure out who is actually doing it. 
Can you say griefing waiting to happen? We can't attack factioned harvesters (which might not be realistic, but is good for game purposes) so why can vendors be attacked?
Make them white NPC's please.
Adding a credit maintenance does not bring mine back up.
I am highly displeased.
I had to completely un-load my vendor of all items and put up a new one... Wasnt too bad because i had just gotten hiring III the day before and it gave me a reason to put up one of the new cool NPC vendors.... but still. a MAJOR pain in the ass and alot of time wasted..
I had to do that too. After 2 hours it was restocked and proceeded to bug out. So now I'm out 60 items plus they're hovering in limbo probably taking up space in my house item alottment. And I don't have enough stock to be open.
The new vendors are white though. Did they fix them?
This was on last weeks list, but I will add it again this week.
Someone "killed" my vendor on Corella last night, he came to like a little bit later, but I was mad!
The Twi'lik Twins, Zerxaq and Xarzeq have been murdered by desperados.
Maintence did not bring them back....
Fun lag so it could be two days to unstock...
Now in Hiring IV it says we can give them a gun....will they use it...i really dont see how they stand a chance even with a weapon....
( as a side note, just for grins offer your vendor some clothes...they will jump up and curse you then fall back down dead )
My vendor (on Scylla)has been incapped several times by one, particularly irrate, customer who had lost (partially reimbursed) mone buying resources. I gave him permission to vent his spleen, so I was watching.
The vendor went down, but recovered in a minute or so. Whenit got back up, he regained stats very quickly. But he had accumulated some wounds.
Don't know about the perma incap vendors, I have seen one at Akasha's house, but that was a few days earlier. Are they the result of filled wound bars?
If so, I will likely find out by the end of next week.I am on vacation now and have no game access. I left the vendor up, and that customer seems to really enjoytorturing it. Unless it is healing, its bars should be black by the time I get back.
