Not sure how reasonable this request is, but it's been on my mind for a while.
I have up to two dozen crew, and there are only so many character faces in the game. I don't mind if Pilot #4 looks like the twin of Crew Dog #7, but as a custom made Captain, it's rather atmosphere breaking to see someone else with my face. Anyone else feel this way?
Is it possible to block randomly-spawned characters from rolling the same face as the Captain?

It gets even more odd when your playing the story and suddenly you appear as one of the officers, ... except its just a copycat! New game characters avoid face/outfit of the captain. New recruits avoid the Captain's face. |

Just checking, since it will difficult to test in-game, does the new code include randomly picked up people?
e.g. enslaving crew from another ship
e.g. people rescued from orbital ship wrecks during Patrol

athios - it does not include characters created on an enemy ship at this time or crew generated by the enemy for combat (Pirates in explorer). Seems reasonable that we can extend this to cover that case as well. No one who matches your Captain's face should ever show up in the game. Except for that Darkwing Duck evil-twin story arc we wrote

Look alikes aren't really that uncommon even here on earth today.
Running into people with a similar face in something like ST verse doesn't really bug me. Besides I can always change the appearance and even sex of any crew member at any time free of charge.
Hmmm there's an idea, have the entire crew look just like the captain.

In this case, I'm really glad I have fixed it already. It was very confusing in the story mode of the game when characters are talking to each other.

We can pretend the Captain took to sowing his wild oats a little too seriously. |

I came here to post about how Xeno are going to steal your face right off your skull and I find thread isn't about Xeno at all.
Feels bad.

We can pretend the Captain took to sowing his wild oats a little too seriously. Reminds me of the movie The Mouse that Roared. There's a scene in the beginning talking about this small country where many of its people resembled each other. As the joke goes, the man that founded the country was in all possible ways it's father |
