Fat Avatar

I used to look like the male avatar nice and slim when I played Elite when I was a teen but the years have added a few extra pounds to my frame. I'm not saying that I would fill a sidewinder but it would be fun to look down in VR and see a bit of beer belly.
 
I hope we get customized Avatars in some expansion eventually. I got used to the Avatar, but his small size, tiny hands, love handles, lacking crotch and toe shoes were highly irritating to me at first.
 
I don't want this. All bodies have some form of gravity. If I had my weight in the game, my sidewinder would be in it's own little gravity well QQ
 
Love the thread, have some rep purely for making me chuckle.
I'm also in a similar boat, but I am liking the fact I can look down at a rather nice set of pecs, rather than hairy moobs.
 
I love this thread, have some rep because it's a good point! People have different body types, healthy or not. Genetic diversity is important!

Obviously not a huge priority, but I really hope that once they start including features where we can walk around, we'll be able to customize our characters a bit more. like, the scene in their little launch video, when the door opens up, a bunch of different sized people!

Also realize... we're basically truckers. Most of our job is just sitting in a chair. Being a pilot isn't /necessarly/ the most intense thing in the world. Then again, that depends on if you're figuring the ship's accelerations into play, because in Elite, the ships accelerate (in normal space mind you, not considering supercruise) with enough Gs to make most people pass out, just by tapping the throttle a bit.
 
I "fit" the avatar almost exactly, and its kinda freaky how you brain melds it together, and even worse with the saitek stick since it even moves the same fingers to a good extent. Supporting size changes would be a very nice touch.
