Searching by name does have a redeeming quality for SW, abet a small one: graphics. If you need a particular weapon graphic, and you know what weapon has that at the level you're building this will be very handy. Same will go if you know what engines and boosters will change appearance.

I checked out the new bazaar search function, and while very nice for shipwrights it has created HUGE subcategories as our items are split up by name, and our space loot has so many names for just one cert level: there around a dozen different loot names for each weapon level alone, not to mention 2 crafted blasters, crafted disrupters, and crafted ion cannons. Going through all this can be very time consuming, and most pilots won't know what name of capacitor is what level.


I have a proposal to help our customers (and our selves for those who go hunting loot off vendors to RE): Add another category to the various components: Cert Level. That way I can select say Capacitors, and then Cert Level 4 for example and it will show me everything of that level.


Comments and Ideas to Improve this?

I RE good components as much as anyone, and I can say for certain that being able to search by individual component name is pointless. Being able to sort by cert level would be INFINATELY more usefull.

I've noticed some problems with the new bazaar seaching. Like for instance there are 2 spots to check for Starship Paint kits and only one works. I've placed starship paint up and tried to search for it in one catorgory and it did not find it, tried the other starship paint kit search option and found it.... is there a reason behind have both searches? I think the bazaars have been over complicated not easier. Theres too many folders and then too manysub folders to look through now.

Yeah, I noticed that too. The bugged ones only have 2 of the 6 texture kits (on my server anyway). Interestingly, I actually found some for sale in that category. I think they're grandfathered in from a time when they used to be made in that category, since some are still for sale on my server.

And as was said earlier in the thread, I think the space equipment needs to be condensed into cert/type instead of individual name.. You can still filter by name if you have a specific part you're looking for.
