Hey, so this is something thats been bugging me pretty much as long as the female player model's been in there, but boob s do not look like that in a skintight space suit.
When I say look like "that" I mean like this
Generally under a space suit you would wear a sports bra. "Comfortable, practical, supportive" Those 3 adjectives do not match the above image.
"but" I hear you cry "but this isnt a regular spacesuit! this is a skin tight space suit!"
A "skin tight" spacesuit, also known as a space activity suit or mechanical counterpressure suit, avoids skin bruising in low pressure by applying elastic pressure to the skin, and only actually pressurising the head/face area where air is needed for more than just its pressure. A space activity suit must be tailored to its spesific user to apply pressure to all of their skin, and for more complex areas such as around the breast s, some shaping pieces within the suit may be required. However, this does not make the wearer look like frickin Major, it if anything makes the whole chest area appear more uniformly shaped and reduces the appearance of boob s. We know this because these space suits actually exist and people with breast s have worn them. Compare this image of someone wearing MIT's "biosuit" (a modern mechanical counterpressure suit prototype) to the earlier image of the ingame model
(for more info/angles of the biosuit see here https://youtu.be/_kL53wmKg9A)
Doesnt that just look so sensible? The unrealistic (and if I put my cynical goggles on pretty sexualised) model currently used is laughable when held up to the real thing.
So what I'm requesting would be giving the female player model a little rework (it's been in there a while!) maybe more heavily referencing real world suits and practical breast support in the design this time round.
(Also to be honest if you *are* doing a rework, men's and women's bodies in real life really aren't that different! The current models are far ends of the spectrum of folks, so maybe a little realism could do well on both sides, and while I'm at it, it would be cool to have a third player model thats more ambiguous gender-wise with access to both pools of haircuts etc. but I realise its far fetched to ask for a whole new model, I'm just tagging these on)
It's about time we brought these player models into the 31st century.

) and the ingame model is just ridiculous in comparison.
