So I placed out another thread in the general forums and it made me think, so many other games have character generators. You know where you can change all the body dimensions, weight, height, build, hair, etc.
And if I remember correctly, EVE does also. So CCP, are you going to implement something in the same realm down the road? |

In Eve you can change you height and build but only so much. I guess capsuleers are engineered to look fit even when they sit in a pod full of goo all day. I imagine it will be the same for mercs, since they're obviously work out.
It would all be covered up by the suits on the field though. Looking at the image for the PS3 menu, it seems the merc's original bodies are naked and hooked up to a hub that remains on the ship, so the bodies on the ground are probably a uniform height and build. Otherwise everybody would pick the smallest character size for a minute advantage with the hitboxes. |

Maybe if we get out of battle social areas, to wear dress uniforms instead of armour we will get eve's system. I think that is long term goal, but probably won't be worked on for years, so much other stuff needing work first.
edit..we could maybe alter avatar for a headshot to use in forum and in the thumbnails in game. |

Problem with customizable in-game charachter model is that it would skew all models in fawvour of small, slender, and slim models.
And this also affects how devs set-up level design and balance goals and testing, because you would haveto take into account all possible variations that are available in charachter creator.
Example:
By making short in-game model, you would be harder to hit but at the same time you couldn't see, jump as high as talles possible charachter.
And one side affect would be that we all would be mini/tiny headed to make headshots as hard as possible.
Now if this only affected the charachter portrait, then I wouldn't see any issue. |
