I think you're at least a few years late with this particular gripe.
EDIT: Added the dev quote giving reason for the limitation.

Capsules have strict dimensional requirement for pilots.
Also, the upward angle used in your avatar's portrait already gives the illusion of height, as well as being used to great dramatic effect. I fully expect her to start gibbering about her long lost sled any moment.

Perhaps you could use camera angles to give the impression of being very tall... or something. |

That's sad. I've thought it's not a big deal to make height adjustable.

Only thing you can do is walk around the CQ alone anyway. Pretend you're whatever height you want. Then pretend someone made a room to the exact dimensions someone of your height would want. |

I'd have my Capsuleer be 4'11.
Just to put that out there.

The cloning center says otherwise. You're 5'2" just like every other capsuleer.

EVE avatars are best in the industry even without height parameter - both graphics and animation. Can't wait for an MMO game where I'll have decent gameplay with similar or better avatars (Star Citizen? Destiny?) |

Those were the time when characters were supposed to interact and CCP wanted such perfect animations that they had to make eveyrone the same height to limit the effort needed.
Today that's just another drop in the big bucket of stoopid around avatars in EVE.

See, the clone vats are only so tall. Clone bodies grow to a certain height, then the heads smoosh up against the top of the tube.

Since you can't put more than one character in a room without melting your computer and you can't interact with anything other than putting your butt on a couch, it seems to me that any further work by coders that know all about flying in space and nothing about walking in stations would be a waste of time.

Anyway, i don't think that there will be a problem with dwarves and giants.
In STO, the character editor is quite flexible, and everything is ok with the characters around, in general. Of course there's also some freaks, but i haven't seen them very often when i played this thing...
Besides, you all talking about the interaction aspect of EVE, it's not a single player. Guess what, not all of the players are smart, and not all of them are pleasant to talk to, although they can be smart  . So those ugly characters could be the part of this... "interaction". Because more (forced)interaction in EVE is usually means more annoying bastards anyway
