OK, not sure where to put it, so I put it here.

Racial mixing is an awesome idea. Showed a Sebiestor being cycled through mixing with the various other bloodlines at a 60:40 ratio. VERY neat.

However, it's only been 15 minutes, but trying to get my head around for having all skin tones available for all races. They had a white Brutor and...I don't know...throws a complete spanner into the definitions of "ethnicity" into EVE. Vherokior are dark-skinned because they are from deserts, Caldari and Sebiestor are pale because they are from cold regions, Gallente are olive-skinned because they're mixed, and so forth...

I'm not sure it's been that long enough for such extreme divergences in ethnicity to take place (at least for some ethnicities). Again I'm still processing this info. Thoughts?

EDIT - Or maybe he said "more" instead of "all"

More, with more wheel options to select.

I like it. Ethnicity's been too "simple" for too long. ;)

OK, yeah, more is alright. My self-entitled RPer "We have 51% of the say in the lore" complex is placated.

You're a posthuman space pilot whose body is literally reconstituted flesh assembled in a lab. Skin pigmentation is clearly a footnote. (Same reason why wardrobes shouldn't be restricted)

They've been talking about customizable ship skins for what... six years?

Absolutely looking forward to being able to make the avatars match my imagination.

Now the thing is... will anyone -else- be able to see which races you've mixed, in some sort of 'info' tab?

IE I think the Amarr female avatars look rather terrible and I'm going to be getting quite 'dirty' to get the look I'm after, but i would die of embarassment IC if someone saw a drop of Brutor in there  :)

  • You're a Jovian spy, aren't you?

On the main page, I saw "All (or more) skin..." and came here hoping for transparent dresses.

I will sue for false advertising.

I've been wondering about that myself, Silas: for some people it's a point of pride and on the public record, while for others things are more complicated or murky.

Doubt the Khan-Poc will be player flyable, more something you'll see in their local space. Like the Roden-Thron.

Having been to the session on virtual goods, I'd say that when the tech supports there being khan-pocs, or various other paintjobs, they'll be available to players as long as they're not pay to win.

I think too, The Sarum one (red buttom) looked really nice to (but Publius has already a opinion about Jamyl, just not public  :P So actually a no, but would nice to see), I think to the local Police forces and the royal navy will get the paintjob.

It would the first thing I would buy from the NeX store. So If it comes, just there I would be cool with it too (So just my baby would get the paintjob).

Seconded.  Even if my imagination terrifies me.

Jamyl was crowned, which means she's not a member of house sarum, nor would she be affiliated with its house fleet.
