The best character creator the biz is in constant development and as part of EVE Online: Inferno, it's going to give you even more options to play around with. CCP Karkur and CCP t0rfifrans have the details in their latest dev blog.

First player. Edit lol not anymore.

While I have a few objections to this, I'm still trying to keep an open mind to the idea. But its still always nice to have more options.

The dev blog feedback threads are exactly the right place to voice these objections and to make suggestions of what to do different and better! Smile

We had a pretty good discussion on this thread https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=104244

TLDR, More variety is fine. But there is less subtle variations of the new skintones.

No purple? When can we get skin dye jobs?

But thanks for the work!

Edit: I know you do not like sliders in the character creator, but color is something that just cries out for sliders.

QFT, give us fat people or give us death! On second thoughts don't, that sounds like the motto of a burger-eating club or something, and those funny people who do this arcane thing called 'dieting' will be all over me like a rash. (cheetos FTW) But yeah, more weight options that don't just look like the scale tool in photoshop. Actual weight distribution variation, and possibly some eye bleach in preparation for the inevitable masses of people who create female alts with criminally huge asses...wait, let's not go there Lol

Nice changes though, always nice to see more variety, but do check that thread about the ethnicity colouring, as right now, at least to my eye, it looks like some skin tones are the same thing in lower light level, or have been spray-tanned brown. Add more subtle details rather than full-body recolours for different ethnicity and it's all good.

EDIT: good points above. We are space age empyrean ass-kicking immortal spaceship pilots that own entire star systems, yet skin dye is apparently beyond our understanding. Please do this, make it so you can effectively 'paint' characters, but do place some restriction on it, for, uhhh, well, immature people, if you get my meaning. Can't have people with fluorescent genitals running around can we?

will the limits of facial expressions be changed at all ?

the current limits are less than what they were previously.

Cool, now all I need is a way to make verokhior females open their eyes wider.
Or change bloodline/race.

Why are the colors restricted at all? I dunno if its a programming issue or what to have the entire color palate open to experimentation, but id like to have hues for hair color and pretty much everything.

Is there any specific reason why this is not so?

Also clothing, Whats with the few selected colors? is it easier to have skins for the articles of clothing as opposed to entirely new models for each piece? I dunno anything about texture mapping so i was wondering.

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.

imagine you give eve players the whole color palete for skin colors :)

how to fix eve: 1) remove ECM 2) rename dampeners to ECM 3) add new anti-drone ewar for caldari 4) give offgrid boosters ongrid combat value

Our artists are VERY serious about their colors Lol, and the standards in our art department are just really high (as is evident from the amazing art in EVE). They carefully pick the colors available, in order to keep the correct style and vision so everything looks right.
The color restrictions are basically up to the art direction, which is one of the reasons EVE does looks so good Smile

I don't really care about skin color what I really want to see is those new outfits you had for a while on SiSi .. they were absolutely stunning, just what a space pilot from the future would be wearing. Gief nao plix

I'm pretty sure they stacked when Incarna first came out, why can't this still be the case?
