It's not that i only hire beautiful crew it's the fact that there are none. Like literally zero if i want a decent looking fighter pilot I'll hire a carefully since most women look like they've been hit by train that makes havery dent look attractive.

Just remember, until the last patching all the stations looked like prison or some idea of space construction with zero esthetics. Since the update we now see some stations with parks, and pools. I would love to see some NPC faces that were not hit with an ugly stick. Maybe at some point they will get to that. Immersion is for the birds. Comics and games have pretty bodies and faces for a reason. Frontier needs to review some of those choices.
Just watched Chasing Coral on Netflix a few nights ago. Given climate change, the sharp uptick in coral bleaching, plus rising sea water levels and temperatures respectively, I doubt we have much of a future.
Surviving past 2030 will be an achievement for humanity, never mind 3303.
Here's the issue, how do you explain "beauty" to an algorithm. It's hard enough to explain it to a human.
They could just "holo-me" the crew atleast.
See, it's no different to real life. We have people in the real world who are haggard and frayed around the edges. That's okay, though... life is variety. ;p
You try being the crew mate to a reckless CMDR who can't land on station pads, flying into things, getting shot by things... these were their jobs before they met you. In the case of my crew mates, they're gonna wish they were flying with their previous CMDR.

I'm actually quite pleased with my Holo-Me.. it took me quite a while to get it just right.
Then I put the helmet on and tinted it black.
It suits my character, but generally speaking, I have a very not-ugly holo-me.
NPC's on the other hand.. I've said it for quite some time:
They look like they fell from the top of the ugly tree,
hit every branch on the way down,
got tangled up in the roots,
and then had a big ugly-nut fall and hit them square in the face.
Every so often, I will see one that does not make me want to impersonate a sea cucumber, and the last one I found like that I hired.

Hm, it kinda seems there's only two major NPC Crew archetypes left :
"Weirdo/Creepy" Male NPC, typically posing awkward
"Big Nosed Heavyweight Boxing champion of the year 3296" female NPC
Compared to especially the Faction NPCs, the variation in Crew NPCs appears extremely limited.
There used to be plenty of normal or good-looking Crew NPCs around.
Nowadays? Haven't seen one in many months, they're all the same odd-looking clones it seems.
Strangely, it only appears to affect Crew NPCs, although alot of Passenger NPCs also look like they're following a "limited" Pattern, but they still got a far bigger spread.
Only Faction NPCs don't seem to suffer from those "channelized seed" limitations. Those appear to work normal and run the full spread. Seeing alot of very natural or good-looking Faction NPC faces, those are absolutely okay.
PS.
I can't recall when that started, but I noticed it happening several months ago. V2.3 maybe?
Always surprised me, considering the nice spread we can get from our own Holo-Me these days.

I think I'll just wait until we can hire thargoids to fly the fighter for me...
Nice hot, sexy, thargoids, better than the moose's in the human crew lounge.

Just got out of rehab, or prison, or the ER. That's the pretty bunch. 
Not in Frontiers universe it isn't, give all NPC's beige uniforms and the unification is complete, ugly and beige NPC's to go with ugly and beige planets.
I love my Holo-Me. My holo me would be me if I could be what I would be if I were me.
Out of fairness I feel everyone complaining how ugly the NPCs are should post some pics of their RL own face.
Yes, but I have never seen a pretty NPC crew, they all look like they were shat instead of being born. So, the argument about variety does not fit here.
