I think I discovered part of the problem, at least with the female pilots. Those haircuts....Bald, crewcuts, Mohawks, bobs, and some kind of strange 1980's "tears for fears" kinda thing really handicaps any chance you have of looking like more than a bio-accident. Fix the haircuts and fdev would be half way there or better.
Hello you great programmers and FD crew!
Now that you have issued Chapter 4 and some other updates - seems to me that you might work under lower pressure than before. So wouldn't it be a wonderful opportunity to have a look for improvements regarding these rather ugly faces in the crew lounge? It really would be great and very welcomed by many of the communitiy. My plea: please apply the holo-me programming to the crew lounge!
Thank you!

Yes please.
I hire/ fire at least 10-15 crew whenever I need to hire a new harmless SLF pilot. It takes a while to RNG a decent looking one. I recently got a lovely female pilot with a voice similar to the actress that plays Naomi nagata, and she has the "belter" haircut too.
If you hire and fire experts, then its not an issue. But I would like to see better looking crews and have them be visible on the bridge. It would also be funny if the mostly harmless were all young and the expert looked older/ with more scars. That'd be neat

OP I concur.
Most crew I see in the lounge are afflicted with some sort of low gravity condition and imho, look like they're sick or diseased. However, I hired this lovely until she demanded more credits so I booted her to the curb after she made many millions off my exploits.

There is so much things lacking with NPC crew (perma death, no possibility have them in cockpit, not mission to retrieve them if ship destroyed, no possibility set issurance for them etc.) ... and ugly appearane is there too. Especially sad when we have now commander creator and can create some really nice faces there.
p.s. my NPC buddy now sits at 0.5B ... she can buy every ship in this game twice and still will be lost if I do mistake.

Hello FD,
I can't help it, it has to go out now: I can't see those ugly faces in the crew lounge anymore! [knocked out]
No matter where you go, always hoping to catch something "pretty" - you get disappointed. Ugliness wherever you look, male or female. I don't want that in my fighter, I want to have either a more realistic (and a bit sexy) looking man or a woman there. FD, you can do that, example is our prevented bride Ms. Aisling Duval!
In our German forum I have started a thread about this topic which was greatly appreciated. Many Cmdrs have contributed and the vast majority agreed with my proposal.
FD, please program pretty looking crews and enable us to design and dress/undress them in "Holo Crew" as well, e.g. matching the Cmdr's outfit. A hot fighter crew member should also be looking hot. They should also be visible in the cockpit on the co-pilot's seat all the time she/he is activated.
FD, I know you can do this easily, please hear my plea - and maybe give me a tiny sign that you have read my lines which come deeply from our hearts!
And - how do others here think about it?
Thank you!
Maybe that's what the dudes at FD are into man, I can't belive you're being so judgemental
It's not just the hairstyles, it's their entire face, everything about them. Arissa and Felicia look much better, even with their short haircuts.
Yeah, at first I chalked it up to "realistic" rng generation similar to the stellar forge. But now I think the range factors are perhaps unintentionally slanted to old and .. unappealing. And it's always the same 3 or 4 base face models for the women. Except the mean seems to mostly stick at 60 or older! Along with those weird purplish or brown lips like red or pink doesn't exist anymore(?) and that lower ranking faction npc reps on the mission board often look much better than the pilots in general. (well ok, maybe that does kind of make sense). Well, maybe as "poor" pilots just not quite up to par in the pilot's federation, they can't afford progenitor cell treatments to stay looking 30 at age 60. But geez, you'd think fighter pilots are usually the younger daring folks for the most part. Ok, aegism hiring maybe should have been long overcome. But maybe when your pilots become quick millionaires tagging along in your ship hold, they could afford to get some progenitor cell and aesthetic treatment to gradually look better as they rise up in rank? hehe.

Ditto.
Oh I think it is because this topic has been addressed many many times before with zero FDEV movement.
At the very least, FDEV could have used the Holome creator base models (with varying hair and skin sets) as NPC slf pilots.
When it comes down to it, does it matter what the slf pilot really looks like? Since it is a holographic representation of the person, the pilots should be able to use the character creator to define the avatar to their own taste. These bozos don't even show up on the bridge anyway.
Considering the life expectancy of them, I'd say it's by design. The academy filters out the beautiful ones for safer desk jobs or back line leadership roles at graduation, while the uglies are sent out to die in the black.
Where ED was developed, those are Babes . . .

I've taken to hiring and firing to refresh the board. It only costs a few thousand to do it so I've spent several million playing pilot tinder.Hello FD,
