Idea for Avatars and the multicrew recruitment feature.

Hello.

What would you guys think of FD allowing us to snap up a custom self portrait of our new Avatars which could then be represented in comms when sending dialogue?

I also wanted to propose if nobody has already thought about or mentioned this, a new Commander Bulletin Board, specifically for the purposes of player submitted Ads which could be used as a more engaging means to discovering and recruiting fellow Commanders who have opted into being available as crew members or for Commanders sending out the feelers in interest of finding fellow crew members to take up posts within their ship.

For example, one could submit an Ad calling out for crew support prior to heading off into a combat zone and anybody who is seeking to join as crew for someone else could either discover this in the Commander Bulletin Board or if they happen to be in the same system or neighbouring system, they could receive a mission critical message style pop up notification for the Ad and accept it from there.

Ideas?

They'd never allow that unfortunately. The potential for abuse is too great. They played around with that on the 360 with the camera and people were putting up pictures of their junk. That's why the Xbox avatar system exists. Even if you restricted it to only allowing facial features, you end up like it was in Rainbow Six Vegas with everyone running around as Hitler.

I meant custom snaps of the avatar, not pictures of themselves, sorry. I'm meaning in the same way we can snap the angle and expression of our Xbox Avatar

It could work differently, like the mission critical message I'd mentioned, which shows a picture of the person sending the communication. Instead of a downward drafted list of comms, I could be scrolled left to right based on the most recent?

Who knows, it could be made to work, though.

It would be cool to mail or email them pics of our faces for them to scan in for us, but I don't think that would work for the avatar unless there was a way they could turn the pics into a 3D image. It would be way to costly to have a team draw up a face for everybody that sent them a picture.

Not necessarily. The Avatar creation screen could just allow a simple background and camera presets for you to choose as your representation. I think the Bulletin I suggested would also serve as a more engaging means to recruiting players as opposed to just someone popping up in your ship if you have a floating toggle option to open or close the server to multicrew.

Are they implementing the ability to pay/reward other players with your credit balance? I thought the setup was just to allow people into your ship who would also share in the bounty your ship takes in.
