Every time i go in the changing room and try give myself a great big smile, a nice friendly one, i always fail, the best i can manage is a smirk or a sneer, right now i got, i don't know what i got, looks like i am on drugs, it's not a happy smile, i want the ability to have a great big smile, a real cheesy, friendly grin with all the teeth and wrinkles that entails, surely EVE isn't so serious a place as to have banned happy smiles right? what you guys think? Big smile

No happiness allowed. Serious business only.

You look like Walter Sobchak from the Big Lebowski if he shaved his head and went on a diet.

Glad I'm not the only one who's wondered why characters are limited to an annoyed grimace.

The ~mechanical~ reason is that our characters don't have a simulated mouth musculature. We can only open the jaw and pull the corners of the mouth, and that's not enough to simulate a smile as even a simple smile implies moving the lips. And a TRUE smile also involves the eyes and nose too.

But, but, it hurts when I smile. Uses less muscles to frown.

CCP is pandering to the "repressed nerd fantasizing about being a tough-guy" demographic which is pretty much 99% of the internet.

As opposed to the "happy-go-lucky space comedian" or the "derpface aficionado"?

Oh wait, the second is entirely possible as it is.

Big smile Some characters are happy and they know it, and they really want to show it! Big smile

I support smiles for toons!

May I have your stuff?

I look forward to the day that our computer cameras can capture a facsimile of our real expression and update it to our avatars.

That would be real.

Everchanging avatar emotions. Or possibly a grim gallery, no change at all. :)

This is the biggest smile I could manage, shame because smiles are in this season.

It used to be easier to make genuine happy smiles (I used to have such smile!) but then CCP nerfed it.... I changed looks at some point, never managed to get my smile back Sad

Now if you make a 'smiling' character, it ends easely up in Creep/Pervert town. The kind of smile that says *I'm a sadist/I'm gonnagetcha!* Definetly not the happy kind!

Custom ship skins, character creator style "repaint". Bring it!
