Crazy suggestion, hair growth during game time.

[wilkie79]

Was watching a Spatula 007 YouTube vid, and he added hair growth to represent how long he had been in space.

Would be cool if Frontier added this feature into the game to, where our hair grew the longer we are in space, and not having access to holo me, to get a hair cut.

This is would apply to both head hair and facial hair.

The length of hair growth could only grow to the max hair length available, and only grows during game time.

speed of growth would have to be slow, like a month per level of growth, but for explorers in the void for months on end. Returning home with max hair growth, would be an added goal to accomplish.

so hmmmm

as a long time explorer, you return home as a furball?

For full immersion I would like a bodily fluids mini-game, resources management of water, food and waste.

For those of you with experience of ration packs, I'm sure I could manufacture multi-cannon rounds out of the remnants of "biscuits, brown".

If Frontier sets the max length of hair growth to be a furball, I don't see why not .

Now we will know where all the biowaste comes from, or how to manufacture it .

You could do this yourself - just start with a shaved, short-haired HOLOME and edit every week to add more stubble and longer hair. Obviously not exactly what you're looking for, but it's something...

That said, why did you forget to pack your razor before heading out into the black?

A razor was packed, then I realised I couldn't get out of my seat to shave

Hair is over-rated anyway.

yet every time you disconnect you leave your seat.

but the idea is not bad though, it exists in some survival game, and actually it makes you think about satiety, water and food management.. although I do not think it's necessary to get to that point.

in fact Elite Dangerous is not a survival game, only the cost of rebay and other things we can lose give the impression of being one.
