Where are the Chubby NPCs in ED?

I'm just taking a guess, but I think all the slightly overweight people, the children & disabled must all be on the Earth like planets. Maybe the Pilots federation wont issue pilot licences to those that don't pass the medical or age restrictions. When we finally get to land on the Earth likes and there not there, that's when we need to ask what is going on.
 
In future society scientists have managed to create food which is both tasty as well as being healthy and nutritious. This helped eliminate the huge development of Obesity affecting modern first world countries that began in the early 2000's and led to an increased strain on the health system and human productivity. Given they exist in space and do not have an infinite amount of supplies & services, humans must adapt to maintain a sustainable population model and an increase in weight can create over reliance on available food supplies, health services and associated long term concerns such as the projected population life span which creates a picture of population sustainability and even the ability to incrementally dispose of human remains in a manner which allows humans to keep and mourn their loved ones in 'Pod yards / grave yards', where space is limited.

At least that's what I would tell myself lol
 
The poor can't afford being chubby, the rich can afford to shape their body as they see fit. I.e. not chubby.

A shame we don't have polls any more, would be nice to see us vote on the really big question: Chubsters Vs Religious Hats: what needs representation more urgently?

Why not chubby hats?
 
Psst! OP. Everyone is also exactly the same height!

That's why I like the random placement bug. I pretend some of the business owners are taller or shorter behind their kiosks. 😄
 
Can you imagine if this game was made by Japanese Devs? You've got to love them, but lets just say it wouldn't be bellies you'd have shoved in your face :unsure:
DOA physics in a high performance ship with no inertia dampeners would be... "distracting". I suspect our suits are a designed to "hold us together" in such environments.

Though considering we can land on 9 G planets and not be bothered by it (and who knows what kind of G forces we're subjected to when boosting in certain ships), I am convinced we're all androids. That would explain those adverts everywhere!

Not tried it but I thought I read that we can’t get out of our Ship/SRV on high g worlds.

As to the OPs question they cracked the human genome around 1300 years before in that time they are going to have done some tinkering.

Much as I like hats I would prefer some chubby NPCs and avatars to that sort of hat.

So you're saying that when a faction enters a famine state, it's because someone ate all the (space) pies?

To stay OT, I agree with OP, height & weight and other things are good to have as options for avatars. I don't see it as a priority though, but it would be a good thing.
