I want a gun for Christmas.

Hello all,
Now, with most of the EVE Dev's busy at work trying to make EVE a more balanced and enjoyable game to play, I was busy looking at the EVE Future Vision trailer and talking a few things over with my corp mates. One of the things that came up in the discussion was our characters, as well as clothes and accessories.

Now, after looking closely at the future vision trailer, you can see that the gun the woman in the video is brandishing is something more out of Mass Effect. After the Dust developers released pictures and info about some of the different weapons being released in Dust 514, I've had my eye on the CAR-9 Scrambler Pistol.

Now, I'm not saying I'd like a gun so I can go popping people in the head (Or nuts, c'mon, you see someone flip your can and then dock up and go to their CQ and pop them in the nuts, how cool would that be?) but I would like a wearable accessory that includes a pistol holster (preferably an underarm holster) and a CAR-9 or another race's pistol.

Another thing I'd like to discuss is outerwear. It's bad. For the Amarr, the outerwear looks like a dress and there are a few really bad looking coats that make me look like I'm going for a hike rather than piloting an incredibly advanced spaceship. I was thinking that some more (and hopefully better) outerwear items be released. I, personally, would like a trench coat. Something that still shows off the rest of my clothing but also compliments it.

If anyone has any other clothing or accessory requests, post them here. Also, if a Dev could have a look over these ideas, that would be great.

EVE's character creator is the most advanced customization tool out, lets make it better.

We are told repeatedly that it is the most advanced, perhaps it is, but if "most advanced" means that it lacks basic options then what good is it?

Its not possible to please all the people all the time, but it sure as hell is possible to Displease all the people, most of the time.

While I do agree that it was rushed and needs some serious work to make it a lot better, I do think, given its complexity it is very advanced. But, having said that, I do agree, more options need to be added in. If you think of them, post them here, along with clothing ideas if you would.

because not everyone has a proper arched foot. +1 for everything except nudity, though only because of ESRB and keeping the game Mature instead of pushing into Adult

Now, while I agree that there are a lot of issues that leave the Carbon system lacking, it is pretty good, given that a lot of other MMO's don't have anywhere close to the amount of customization capacity as EVE. If the points that Kusum so aptly pointed out were implemented, that would fix the gripes of a large amount of the player base. Along with the issues that were raised, I find that the Amarrian customization options are incredibly limited. I mean, the other races get glasses, why not the Amarr? Things like weapons, trench coats, hats, suits, a larger variety of shoes, other glasses options and a lot of other things are missing from the game, causing the awesome potential of the Carbon system to fall very short of what it could be.

If anyone else thinks up some more ideas that would be great. Also, DEV's!!! LOOK AT THIS THREAD!!!

I agree that having more accessories would be nice, but allowing guns would be horribly RP breaking since stations are supposed to be some of the most secure places in the eve universe, and the pod pilot sections are even more secure than that.
as for guns, maybe you could have mounted weapons for the CQ, so you could have a gun cabinet with an assortment of weapons that are available in dust.
