Game Mechanics Vendors require a maintenance fee to continue to operate. This fee is 15 credits every hour. If maintenance fees are not paid then the vendor will gradually begin to 'decay' from a condition score of 15,000 and once it hits zero it will dissapear along with any item that may be on it. Vendors decay at a rate of 1% of their score for every 60min (maintenance cycle) or 150 hitpoints every 60 minutes. Vendor decay begins only when the vendor has been initialized. The player can repair a vendor as well as depositing credits into the maintenance pool by the Pay Maintenance radial on the vendor. Each 150 hitpoints of decay costs 30 additional credits to repair it. When a player hits the Pay Maintenance radial, the Pay Maintenance Prompt appears allowing them to input an amount of credits between 1 and 100,000 to pay into the vendor's maintenance pool. Whatever current repair fees are subtracted automatically from the incoming funds into the pool and the difference is left as a surplus. The maintenance pool and vendor condition (as a percentage of total health) can be viewed through using the vendor control radial menu and opening up the Status prompt. Note: With the nge, players can also withdraw maintenance from vendors through using the Withdraw Maintenance radial option and inputting an amount of credits ranging from 1-100,000 into the Withdraw Maintenance Prompt.
