NPC faces are regenerated after patch

The "upgrade" is mostly a graphical downgrade with less details as I already wrote.
Here is a comparison of my three girls from 2.2 and 2.3:

As you see left is old 2.2, new 2.3 is right, and way less details and lowres in thumbnail and main picture, nearly no contour/surface/edging... (yes I have ultra quality graphics setting enabled)
It's smoother, right, but way too much anime/animated for me...

True, left looks better!
 
Princess Pitts? xD. I'd have hired her too. I had to settle for one of the Puckett family... She can't aim yet, but she's deadly with a butter sock.

Yes you are right. Left looked more real.
 
They upgraded NPC faces, most look better in 2.3. There are several thousand faces in the game, some didn't benefit from the overhaul.

Tell that to the Hutton Truckers. While the exact details of the accident remain secret, it's very clear that Lael Wolf was lucky to survive at all, but it may take extensive surgery to restore her good looks.
 
Suspected it was coming from watching beta streams, and so was prepared to get rid of whomever got hit with the ugly stick.

Another thing is I had 3 dangerous rank pilots, the profit share was 24%.

Sorry Tess Hunter, it's not personal, just business.

Took her out in a stock Keelback, and set it to self destruct.

You blew her up because she wasn't your type? How is that not personal?!

I was looking to reduce my profit share, and to increase my "crew lost" statistic from 0 to 1. Ugly stick did the deciding on who of the 3 pilots that was gonna be.

Ok, maybe it was personal, she was the only pilot that kept telling me if I had a problem with her I better say so.

I was one of many who reported this in the beta bug report section, back in beta 1. At most, they changed my NPCs hairstyle and skin tone back, but stopped there. It's a good measure of FDev's apathy towards anything they don't consider "game-breaking".

Some game companies simply aren't very good at NPC character design, and I'm pretty sure FDev is one of those. No offense to the devs, but all their NPC characters look like middle-aged meth addicts. I guess whoever designed the Powerplay characters got fired the next day, since they actually look human.

I`ve been seeing even more of what can only be called butch experienced boxing men in wigs that insist they`re female. All that boxing really does addle the brain!

i don`t even know what addle means!

I had nice female crewmates. I hired them to have private harem.. and to please my eye.
..but a game regenerated faces and i have two ugly npc now.

To make you learn that looks fade with time and if you don't have someone you want to be with for their other features, then you chose wrong.
 
I leveled up a nice cute one to Elite, but now she looks like Eminem [mad]

The meat market isn't looking too good these days...

Wouldn't it be nice if they would occupy the extra chairs on the ship when there's no human copilot?
Would be nice too, if they could land the ship, like a docking computer that doesn't take up precious internal space...
 
The Engis look different. A few are improved but overall they look weird and mutated merely in different ways than before. I think Bill Turner looks like his case of death is advancing rapidly. Next patch there should be bones sticking out of his face.
