That shouldn't be an issue, just remove the hair when wearing a helmet. It can be chalked up to wearing a skull cap or a small bun when one is apt to be needing a helmet.

Obviously she was a test-tube baby and grown in space....
Not really since in real life there would actually not really be a huge amount of bulk for shoulder length hair to be stuffed up inside a helmet's skull cap. Thus there would not need to be two models made in game, just the longer hair one. The helmet look would not be any different to any other character for the aforementioned real life reason.
And model design-wise, sure it would a bit of extra work to get a longer hair model to not clip and look good but it wouldn't require massive amounts of works for say something the length of this:
It's doable, especially just to add one initial version like the example above.

Can we put further cosmetic details behind enhanced exploration content?
Fantastic! Post them in suggestions and maybe they'll get some support.
Fair question, but it's hair not a vital nerve cluster, lol. I'm pretty sure if it works in these examples, then sitting in a cushy chair in a cockpit would be pretty safe.
(Some male riders had similar.)(Apologies if the photos aren't great, I was still new to photography back then!)
Of course it's doable. Everything is doable in a virtual world. The question is whether or not it's worth it to devote resources to said issues. What's the payoff here? How many players intend to have a character with long hair? Is that number large enough to justify the extra work it takes to make long hair models?
For me it's fine, but when you canopy breach you'd see your rebuy screen instantly... that would be fine
Death is a small price to pay for looking s*** hot
You've made loads of statements, I would review what you say.
Thanks for saying I have pretty head though.
While I would love them to use TressFX, get half a dozen commanders in the same instance all using it, and watch your graphics card burn.
I've said as much in other threads. A model swap with the hair is the route. Video games have been doing this forever. A hood in dark souls, a motorcycle helmet in GTA, a hat in the Sims. It's a model swap. They can still have it within reason if they go with shoulder length hair.
About a third of the human population has long hair, the question should be why would you even start developing a charactor creator without it. Makes zero sense.
Different people find enjoyment and immersion in different things. It's not silly just because you don't feel the same way as the OP. She has every right to comment on an issue affecting her personal enjoyment of the game just like you have that same right over something that might be of importance to you but of no interest to someone else.
Citation needed.
But even so, this isn't about representation. It's about resource management. How many people playing Elite have long hair? How many of them, specifically, intend to create a commander with long hair?
Its silly...

Which is why I said I'd be fine with static hair. Dynamic hair would cause a strain on many player's pcs, (granted I shouldn't be one of those people since I'm running a rx 480. Recently forced to upgrade due to a power supply issue.)
If the helmet was the dev's reason, it's incredibly weak. They've already included the no-helmet option, so there's no expectation it stays on.
As for "two looks", a keybind to "Deploy Hairpoints" would work nicely!
Well, RP wise, all the men should have long beards and hair, all the woman should have incredibly long hair, I know I've never been able to get out of my pilot seat for a cut n shave
