Store Icon Protest

[Retropolitan]

Yeah, there's a difference between being a business and making money for creating excellent products - and using every trick in the book to gouge.

I don't think we can be certain that was even their intention. If you look at the new throttle gauge you see that they didn't stop at adding the chevrons, which I think are a great improvement; they kept on by animating the motion in the gauge. I'm not mounting a protest movement - or even really complaining - but that seems like gilding the lily, doesn't it? The chevrons alone give you a great visual cue about your ship's direction, while animating it - the only animated 2D HUD element? - puts more emphasis on that one display than it really needs. Your eye's just drawn to that thing. We'll learn to ignore it, but in my own view that was a mistake.

It's as though once they'd added something new they thought they had to MAKE IT ABSOLUTELY IMPOSSIBLE FOR PEOPLE TO MISS IT. And the store icon might just be more of the same.

Ok. Gloves are off.
From now on I do it the SDC way...

I'm gonna gank every noob in Colonia until FD removes the blue.
That'll show those blue skinned aliens capitalists...

Won't that just result in them nerfing it to a slightly less conspicuous shade of blue?

... if they hide the store in livery where it was (there was no need to change that).

This ^^

Which incidentally, will also resolve the Store unavailable Red icon in stations without Livery access.

[Dagwit]

+1

It would be +10 but I don't have enough ARX for the other nine.

Sorry, won't be joining the protest because i'm rather ambivalent about it. However, if the changed the colour of the icon to orange or removed it i certainly wouldn't object.

You'll be needing a fence icon then?

I tried to buy this, but apparently you have to use special currency packs.

Permission to say 'Bravo!' in an annoying loud voice sir?

 

[Old Duck]

I used be an adventurer like you, but then I took a store icon to the knee.

And 90% of this community is complaining?
Approximately how many members of the community as a whole are bothering to make a fuss?

Otherwise what you say is correct - if 90% of the community makes the same comment it would be a 'reasonable' indication, but there is nothing like even 5% of the forum membership posting complaints or sporting blue handbags in protest!

My 90% was am example tbh I don't know how many of us are complaining.. Even some people that used to always defend fdev is now complaining so I guess we're a lot anyway

I wish people would stop ragging on blue.

Blue is a neat color.

A lot of things are blue, like the sky, and water, and some birds, and all those things are neat!

Heck, even some people are blue (but that is because of cyanosis, which is usually followed alveoli discharge, or "lung purge" as some call it, but that's for another discussion)

Anyway....

I believe that this video will help others understand that the color blue is really neat, and that pushing a blue button turns on happiness!

What is this thread about again?
