Character Selection

[Orin]

I know this has been done before, and I can only imagine it would become much easier with SP out of the picture:

A further detailed character choice on character creation.

Right now we've got is... well, Trent in his brown coat. That's all. Even Disco OpenSP has a choice of clothing, why is this not available in MP?

I'm suggestung much deeper character choice. We've got a vast variety of NPCs, clothing choices, and the decision between a male or female character. Couldn't this easily be implemented into the create-a-character screen? On top of that, I suggest we encourage modders to submit custom character bases. Maybe even have a request thread for characters to be rendered into the game. It would be really cool to have a character closer to the deeply RPed characters we have created, and a interesting boost to RP.

Now I know I'll get at least one "But they still will have Trent's voice from bar interactions!". My response? Who cares? I press escape to skip dialogue as it is, it wouldn't be a big deal in my eyes.

Well, what do you guys think?

I wouldn't mind seeing some variety in the 'Trent' character in the MP dialogue scenes.

My only complaint it that you will be the only one to see your varied character. But it would be good for some screen shots though if you wanted.

Yay for variety.

Yeah, I thought of that. But I'd still love it. We -are- RPing for ourselves as well.

And screenshots, oh yes.:nyam:

I have seen mods out there use varied characters on multiplayer, but that was when the global servers were online... Awhile back now.

Same here. I've always wondered why the biggest mod in FL doesn't have this feature. It should have the biggest variety of character choices IMO...

Well I move for my Rhodri Evans to have a Mohawk and a French moustache.

It would be nice if a modder/admin could put their opinion in here or just explain why it isn't already being done.

Would be nice...:)

I think this might even be a client-side thing. Seems as though it's doable, and would certainly be nice.

Client-side you choose your outfit according to faction. Why even this isn't available for MP is beyond me...

I could swear I saw this topic before today. Either way I love the idea. Besides, we cant all be Trent. Im sure he has better things to do then fly all 500+ ships that we all own. I vote for multiple clothing and characters:D
