Station menus, I really don't like this

Rough attempt at de-blueing it:

Honestly? I'd be happy with that.
 
The icon is terrible as well.

The whole thing is cynical as heck.

If they absolutely had to do all this terrible stuff, they could have named that button ARX - then it at least could viably be something from the in game world.

That’s it, yes. It’s very tacky.

Then suggest something better.

As it stands (apart from the blue, which absolutely has to go) it's still an improvement over the old 'where the hells do I actually buy stuff?' system, which separated ship stuff from Holo-Me stuff.

One button that you press to get to the store where you can buy anything for any part of the game is an improvement, IMHO obviously.

Although that does bear the question; why do we need a separate store when it's all already displayed in the Holo-Me/Livery menus anyway? Surely the cleanest, least intrusive option would be to allow ARX to be bought at point of sale to cover the cost of whatever you're trying to equip if you don't already own it and/or don't have the credit to cover it?

Having it in main menu and livery not main station services screen. Much better.

I suspect this is one of those things that we'll just have to see how we get on with it over time. I'm a bit anti-change, but I'd have to admit the old system was rather messy. I'm prepared to give the new system a fair try, and post any thoughts later.

It also applies to Holo-Me as well though, so it would need to be in at least two separate places where it would do exactly the same thing. Not sure that's good UI.

The more cynically-minded among us might suspect that this is future-proofing against other future purchases which do not fall within ship livery or commander appearance.
