Browsing through new cosmetics

With the removal of cosmetic items from frontierstore, is there any convenient way to browse through new stuff?

Is used to visit the frontierstore with my mobile once a week or so to check if there's anything new of interest to me... with that possibility gone... do I really have to launch the game and switch through all my ships to see if there's anything new for them? Probably some missed opportunities for FD to make some money... if I don't know what they have to offer, I can't buy.

If you click on the store doodad in the station UI it shows you a list of "featured items" which, presumably, showcases new stuff.
Course, if you don't play for a couple of months I guess that means you might miss a "featured item" which you could want to purchase.

Beyond that, it's just a case of browsing through the store (or livery) pages to see what's there.

I used to just open up the web-store and browse it once a week to see if there was anything I like the look of.
I hope I'm wrong but I'm guessing the web-store won't be back, given that one of the main advantages of the new system is that it avoids the need to continually update a website.

Me, too. I even bought a few packs via my phone when I was bored and out of town. Now you actually have to open the game to see the shop... This is adding an extra barrier between the content and the customer's wallets.

If they can't integrate the website with the same database then the forum's worst assumptions about FD coding would actually be true.

I understand in-game shop and browsing but removing on-line store? So now I need to launch the game to see anything and outside the game I cannot even check the prices or things available?

But thinking about it - SWTOR had CC Market in-game for years before ARX and it too is available through game only. At least there's Dulfy.net where you can pre-view all t he CC Market items so maybe someone will make 3rd party feature as it seems to be tendency - official lacks are covered by 3rd party features.

Good news! We are planning to deploy a web store for players to browse Paint Jobs and other items while outside of the game! As soon as the web store is ready to launch, we'll let the community know.

I'm in the same boat. I would go take a peak at the Web store every week or two, and if there was something I liked, get it.

I looked at the I game one once, didn't like the layout, and format, and haven't looked since. Mostly as it is inconvenient.

Let's hope the web store (even if it's only for browsing) is deployed before the traditional Black Friday special paintjobs are on offer. Said it before, I'm not keen on wasting my in-game time browsing through a shopping catalogue.

Feature request for the web store: filter for owned paint jobs, including non-paid ones and ones which were purchased but are not now on sale. I went through a phase of collecting all the special offers and freebies I could get my hands on, and I'm never quite sure if they are all still visible in livery.
