Body Rescuplturing - Logically, it should be offered.

I really think there needs to be an option to change body style at will somewhere either in the UI or in the game.

Reasoning...

I think it should be allowed in stations. Similar to a plastic surgeon today, however, in the future of warp engines, I'm sure they could do far more than people today can, and far more easily. They seem to have the ability to create a dynamic warp field from collected energy particles in space, but don't have liposuction? Even doctors today have been known to use bone saws to radically alter shape, even though with today's medical standards its very dangerous... in the future of cloning, I'm sure clone DNA structure could be altered to allow physical changes that don't require invasive surgery.

Regarding scarring and weight, if you're almost podded, or have a few too many protein delicacies (or if you're broke and run out), those could fluctuate as well.

Similar to how some stations offer 'partial' refining and others 'full' refining (differing base percentages)..

Stations without medical clone services could offer recustomization as it is with only a stylist and wardrobe, and stations with medical clone services could offer complete resculpting for the cost of the current medical clone. The higher tier clone you have would cause higher tier fees.. and it could be stated something like the cost covers the cost of processing your clone data in the medical network so that your medical clone and jump clones will show your new appearance. High skilled characters would have to pay more than new players, and it would be a way to offer the service.

So long as there is absolutely NO WAY TO CHANGE YOUR NAME, I don't see why changing your appearance, at least within your race constraints, can't be offered.
