wow, actualyl these 5 people don't look that bad. the people I usually come across look a lot more scary and I wonder if I even docked at a human settlement.
I hope we get a holo them feature and can customise NPCs int he future too. That would help some RP players devloping their stories.
The current ultimate NPC quest in ED seems to be finding a good looking ahrmless NPC you can level for being less greedy on your payments.
What I reeally miss is a few natural shades of skin colors uinbetween pale and chocobron smeared with engineerign oil. and some more shades of darkblonde till black hair colors. That si what makes the unievrse look very strangely and really questions genetics. Sure fashion may change, but a lot people, Especially black Ones seem to have hair colors that aren't colorised and have strange haircts that don't fit very much into a natural look.
i love the idea of all of us commanders having a number of dopplegangers [*points dramatically into the distance and takes on a glazed, woolly look, while contemplating the enormity of that strange, often hostile, and totally alien place] outside..
i think they have gone for what is a very likely analogous of the average E: D spacer. in many ways convenience dictates hairstyle, solar protection on our ships, clearly has the same side effect as the weather in my beloved Scotland, keeping our complexions peely-wally, and hair dreekit. now, the planet based politicians and vip's seem to have it better, but well, they eat real food.. of a plate no less?! and not out a bag (no talking fish and chips here) or a tube (could be talking smarties) and don't spend most their lives attached to a chair in a low-g environment.
but, i guess it is early days of the system, i'm sure once commanders get there hands en-masse, on holo-me, the resulting creations will provide frontier with extra data for fine tuning, and replication of their npc generation.. although i'm suddenly reminded of the saying 'be careful what you wish for'

lol
