Help 'Invisible Appearance Items' to function properly on vendors
This idea/suggestion is Open. You can respond to ask questions or discuss the idea and either vote it up or down if you believe it should or should not be implemented, respectively. Popular suggestions and ideas will be considered by the development team to become reality in-game.
Proposal
Fix it so that 'Invisible Appearance' items function properly on vendors.
Justification
Invisible appearance items, when placed on a vendor, currently show up as the clothing article in the item's icon, instead of neutralizing the appearance of the slot as intended.
Motivation
Making the galaxy more beautiful.
Currently, the only way to customize vendors is to 'drag' a clothing item onto them. But once you've dressed your vendor in an article of clothing, it is impossible to remove. This means that if you put, say, a jacket on a vendor, then they will now always be wearing a jacket. You can put a new jacket on them, but their jacket slot is now permanently occupied. This is true for all clothes/accessories.

If you try to put 'Invisible Appearance Item: Jacket' onto this vendor, instead of creating an 'invisible jacket' as on a player, it puts the default icon of the item onto the vendor--in this example, the appearance of the 'Casual Jacket' item--rather than neutralizing the appearance of the jacket slot as intended.

As customization options for vendors are already limited, this change would be a nice QOL improvement for those of us who operate vendors.

Found a workaround today. I dragged a Red Life Day Pajamas onto the vendor and it removed the jacket and bounced the pajamas back. I was hoping the vendor could wear them, but they can not. May be true for all bio-link items, idk.
