FD: No more online store to check new stuff = no sales

So that ingame stuff with arx is all good and well.... But I don't play a lot (uninstalled the game for a while) but check in regularly if any skins come out for my favorite ship. Now that the store is no more, I can not see if any new skins come out. I would need to login in, start it up, go through the menus, wait for everything to load, go to ship and livery, then walk through everything.

TL;DR... You're not selling me anything because I can't get to it without the hassle of going into the game.

We have to issue an Open-Letter on this topic! ;)

Now seriously. Yes, I too am very dissapointed the webstore went offline. Most of my cosmetics I bought, I bought because I wss able to check the store at work, purchasing something and was able to look foreward having that thingy installed as soon I got home into my cockpit.

FD! BRING BACK THE WEBSTORE!(y)

I demand FDev open a physical store so I can go in and look around at the holo clothing there while muttering that there is no variation in style because it's all the same.
My polite disapproval in person will illustrate me well as a customer.
Probably won't buy anything from there though. I'd personally find it daft that they'd open up a physical store for a digital game.

Does anyone believe they did all the work for ingame fake money and didn't bother with a web store for no good reason?

They still have a webstore with real money transactions though... :rolleyes:

But this is not about real or fake money, just the ability to see what's in the store, then the transaction can be done in arx directly from the user account.

Being on the customer side this has been really glaring from the start but that’s like putting food into a mouth of a baby and frontier aren’t big babies.

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 think it is interesting that frontier are showing their same issue handling finesse as they do for in game features to even stuff that you could argue is losing them sales every Friday.

Maybe its something we shouldn't take personally if they are the same for entirely self serving issues and us ;) Least they're being fair.
