Station menus, I really don't like this

It breaks my immersions.

I know folk might think it's trivial, especially given the bugs, but please don't put STORE on in game menus. Put it behind Livery/Holome/Outfitting etc where it belongs.

Editing other places where it could/should be, just for GreyAreaUK :p
I just wish that they wouldn't keep changing things. I don't play often. I am as game literate, as your average chimp and just as I get use to a layout, or method of doing something; they change it.
 
Imho the Holo Me button doesn't belong in the station service menu, a blue store button even less so.
It's like they constantly try to remind you to spend money on the game, it's cheap and unprofessional.
The store is a complete different section of the game and has nothing to do with gameplay, yes it's immersion breaking as hell, I never use that word but this stupid button made me do it.
I don't want to be reminded of spending real world cash everytime I dock at a station!

In livery, fine, in the main menu even better, but not randomly put in a screen where you don't expect it, I'm surprised they didn't put it in one of the side panels in your ship or the hud even, ugh, so cheap.

Edit,

Imagine watching a Transformers movie and every couple minutes in the right upper corner of the screen appears a Hasbro pop-up advertising their cool Transformer toys.
That's how it looks to me, utterly out of place and insulting.

It is almost as annoying as this:

Agree. Constant reminder that you're not really in space...just a 'puter.

So integrating the store into the game itself is more immersion-breaking than the old way of having to go into a present-day browser outside the game to deal with the cosmetics store? I just can't agree with that. Before, there was no in-universe explanation for how players obtained cosmetics. Now, there's a virtual, in-universe cosmetic storefront and showroom available at every station. Vastly less immersion-breaking.

But I do agree the blue button has to go. Less of an immersion-breaker than a head-scratcher. There should either be more blue in the menu for consistency, or no blue at all.
 
Besides orange-ing the blueness, it would help to have the handbag icon made an outline/wireframe as opposed to the bright solid it is right now.
 
Yes, Fdev, please consider moving the Store button to within the livery section or behind Pluto. It is awfully crass and screams "show me the money" It really does diminish the Immersive space sim feeling. It would probably take your eye out in VR.
 
aside from the store icon and being blue being undesirable, I would also like to add that I have less than zero fondness for the new livery
I don't like the new layout, horizontal was nice and easy to see srv 1, srv 2, slf 1, slf 2..
but even worse, even though the new graphics for the srv and slf is nicer to look at, why is the background for body color what it is, yellow-orange, currently making it hard to see the color of the srv color I select. I have tactical pack and I can't tell one color from another so I have to select in order to see the text to tell what it is.
I am not fond of being negative, but tbh, whoever came up with this layout clearly did not think about all paintjobs or ease of use.
I also have the vibrant pack for many things and even though some of the colors are obvious, others are not, as in the diff between orange and yellow is so minimal that once again I can only tell which is which by selecting and reading the text, same for purple and blue.
A black background would have given contrast and made this easier on the eyes and far easier to choose a paintjob.

Also, seems a bit rushed to completion, as in why is some sort of ship that is not an srv used for displaying weapon color, also same complaint about that background color choice too.

While I am here, anyone know why I now have Galnet paintjob, I never bought it.

Gauche I would call it.

And what's more, for an update meant to help new players, this big blue 'Store' button is awfully nondescriptive for something so in your face.
Store? What kind of store? Is that where I go to buy goods? Is that were I buy upgrades for my ships? Oh, it's just microtransactions...
It's probably not a very good first impression for a newcomer.
Maybe just call it MICROTRANSACTIONS, and be done with it?
(money loving so and so's...)
