i think that if nothing else, we should be able to "change" our portrait after using a clone (a.k.a., getting killed). think about it. does the clone know exactly how long each and every hair on my body was? well, then if so, forget this post. but i don't think that is the case. what about peircings? or tattoos? stuff that a clone probably wouldn't be able to replicate, right? so why not at least allow us to change these things after activating a clone:
- hair style and color
- eye color and shape
- tilt/orientation of headunit
- background (while we are at it, more of these please...)
- tattoos/extras
- costume
- lighting
everything else should basically stay the same. not only would this give us a way to change the way we look (once in a while), but it will give players something to do when they die other than ***** and moan. dying almost becomes tolerable...
"aw shyt. i just fuggin' died. wtf! i'm so sick of this crappy game and all of th--. oh cool. i can change the way i look. check this out! alright... [user forgets about rant]"
... right now the only bonus of dying is when someone is way far away from a station and they get a free ride back to their clone base. since we are in the process of balancing EVERYTHING in the game and EVERYTHING must have an equal up and down side. well, why not balance clone activation? make a new grade of clone if you want to limit the process (or if you wanted to add a cost in). say only Grade A+ and better can perform this option.
seems like something the community wants. so, i think it should be done. just make sure it's cool and makes sense too. i don't want to have to see some new crappy skillset arrive with this function. it should be as painless as possible to do this, but also not something that can be done while "bored" on a sunday afternoon. then every day people will be doing it. tying it into clone activation is a good thing. i think/hope it would limit the uses of it. that way people won't all rush out and do it at the same time without anything but a monetary cost to it. if people want to change their clone THAT badly, they'll wiat til they die or perhaps put themselves in harms way (which is fun) in order to accomplish the task...

there is a fine, but dissasterous line between a fart and a shart. i suggest you make sure which side you want to be on... |
