Hello all,
As we all know, the next upcoming (third) release of Incursions will bring us the new portrait creator, later to be used as 3D character in Incarna.
The problem that a lot of people are facing is that the new options often don't enable you to make a character that even remotely resembles the face you picked when you made your character. With the fourth installment of the editor, options are even more restricted than they were before and a lot of hair colours, eye colours, hairstyles have been taken away and we're often forced into looks we don't want.
Now I don't know if CCP realizes it, but for a lot of people the looks of your character are very important. If I pick a space orc I don't want to be forced into looking like an Eldar with the next installment, or if I pick a Porsche I don't want to be forced to pick a Ford because the developer makes some graphical changes. It greatly takes away from the immersion and ability to identify with your capsuleer.
So what I want to propose is a free one-time option to change bloodlines with the 3rd installment of Incursions.
I can understand changing races will have impact on your racial skills, but bloodlines won't have any impact whatsoever since the differences are purely cosmetic. Nonetheless, if we'd get an optional racial remap that would even be better, of course!!
Thanks for reading.

Important Information Regarding Character Portraits
Hopefully this means our fears are groundless & our frustrated tears will dry! lol
I donŠt see the slightest indication that my suspicion is needless. They just say that swapping `old style` portraits isnŠt very good idea now we get new ones very soon.
Not a word on races or bloodlines and not in the threads where these concerns are voiced either; CCP and the CSM seem to ignore the topic thus far.

I'm in favor of a change in bloodline although it might be a moot point. I believe somewhere down the line plastic surgery pods will be available in the station so you can change your appearance and who knows maybe sex as well.
That's the thing. "Somewhere down the line" in CCP's terms may be a 5-year project. The best we've got is "perhaps". It's the same as announcing Incarna in 2006 and see what we have now and how long it took them. Or removing learning skills.
That simply won't do if we're forced into new characters that don't look like want to look at all within 4 weeks. People who are very unhappy with the overhaul don't want to have to walk around in something they can't relate to for years.

Choosing for min/max reasons is as VALID a choice as choosing for aesthetic reasons....
Aesthetics (or lack thereof) is clearly at the very bottom of the list for the people who CHOSE the min/max approach
And anyway: how can you distinguish between people who picked a bloodline for looks and those who picked them for stats? The female Achura has quite a popular look but they also had the best starter attributes in the "old days".
So just give everyone a free bloodline change?
Still waiting for any CCP/CSM imput .....
