Admittedly, they wouldn't want to show off the most impressive hairdos in preview images.

I'm in agreeance with this. I'm very sure that there will be long hair in the Creator, it is a staple of modern character customization. I was only being a asking Ed in such a way to show off all the beard styles (but seriously, show them all...) as I have already seen my favourite beard style on the NPC's.
This is only the start and anyone with Beta access will be able to see it all (So Ed... I'm here MAJOR calls for paid beta access again from people who don't have it, it will be available right?). Once the beta is released, we can ask for all the hairstyles and colours we want. No need to argue about it. Such input is very valuable to the team, helps with direction and validation of ideas.
Oh speaking of which, Ed... is there going to be an option to play with the Creator after you have made your character? People in the RP and writing community would like to use if for other character portraits that's not for there CMDR. People in the larger community may want to change the way their character looks (hair style, clothing, etc...)
Thanks for having it on YouTube Ed. I can't watch it due to family duties so I look forward to the video.
Exploration content yet?
This is the most non sense of a argument ever single time it's bought up. Look. Shoulder length hair options would be fine. Or at the very least a pony tail. The G argument is already out of the window with the model in the sneak peek. She has bangs. If FDev want to say long hair is out because of G then why is her hair style in such a way? The front of her head should look like Sonic the Hedgehog then. An the argument around remlok helmets, have any of you played a video game with a woman in it ever? You think if a character puts on a hat or a hood of a motorcycle helmet that they still animate their hair? It's just a palette swap. You can handwave in something as stupid as telepresence but can't except a woman in Zero G still getting a helmet on when ever other video game has done that very thing?
I don't see why I need to explain this. I also can't believe there's an argument against at minimum shoulder length hair on women in a video game

The new camera feature counts as exploration content, right?
If not, then no, most likely not. We'll know for sure after Tuesday's and Thursday's livestreams, but I'm not expecting anything for explorers save the new camera (and that's only if it's more than just a glorified selfie cam).
Seeing as it is labeled as Ship Cockpit Front suggests that there are other views. It would be a shame if this were the only one...however, on single seaters like the Eagle, it might just be this cam and the regular external one (hopefully with its own enhancements).

I don't have an argument against it, really. From a practical standpoint, during operation, I think it is better to have hair put up, to some degree. It is a video game though, so I don't think that needs to be a sticking point. Also, men can have long hair too, right?
Hopefully the NPC avatars will also improve.....who knows, maybe NPC pilots will get avatars too? Can only hope!
I feel we may be getting external views as well which is another regular forum gripe sorted.
Hear's the thing. it is a sticking point went this is for an update that is something I can't opt out of since it's part of horizons. Which I have. This isn't like power play or cqc where I can just ignore it if I don't like it. I have to use this because there is no other option and quite frankly it's a bit unfair if I'm force to just deal with it because FDev just don't want to consider long hair due to convenience to them. This is a concern for the commander creator. This thread is about the commander creator. Where else am I suppose to bring this up? In a thread about ship kits?
Also sure guys can hair long hair if they want it. The more options with something along these lines the better.

There better be otherwise a rage quit will be in order
An so often there's people saying how this community is so welcoming...
This is like the 3rd or 4th time you've mentioned fear or not being able to "handle" the situation of not having long hair in game. I hate to pry, but do you have some sort of like condition? Having a fear of/and not being able to handle a certain scenario in a game is just kind of bananas.

I should have been clearer...I don't think my realism point should be a sticking point against having a longer hair option in the game. I actually think you have a valid position in what you expect from the creator. I just hope, if it weren't included, that it wouldn't end your long tenure as a player here.

I'm a short haired guy so I don't really care but the argument of long hair is hard to model in 0g is correct but just because short hair is short doesn't mean it's solid and shouldn't be modeled either. If they make static short hair, which makes sense, then make static long hair.
Actually, honestly yes I do have something of the sort that is sort of making it hard for me to not let this go. In 2003 I had a bit of an identity crisis. I not going to go into detail about something like that in a public forum though.
Sadly I feel that I know myself well enough to know that if it's not included that I would indeed step away from Elite. Which is why every time the subject comes up I get very vocal about it. I wish I didn't feel the need to do so but I do. I can't help it. Sorry

This. Very much this. I'd gladly take static long hair as long as long hair is an option. Just give me the option or and the very least say that it won't be an option so I know where I stand with this.
