I know this'd be a lot of work, but some of it's already been done, as I'll explain soon. Three parts to this.

1) Avatars - male and female of each race to choose from. Already part done via a lot of mission chains
eg Vornexa is female zolazin, male zolazin - look at my avatar.
Human male already done, female - person who gives mission from "the inside job"

2) Avatar customisation - A lot harder - just a one accessory "slot" for each avatar, perhaps unlocked by different milestones. By milestones, I mean ranks, PvP kills, missions.
eg for konqul, have dog tags, bone necklace, tooth necklace.

3) Ships - Colour reskins for ships to start with. Already part done by artists on the forum. We have the standard zolazin ship, and my old banner had a red skinned one. My current one has a blue skinned one. Again, unlocked at different milestones.

You could make some of the customisations cost GP, perhaps the more time consuming ones (eg different ships completely).

I've listed these in order of ease/preference.

+1 ******* love it

Definitely like the idea of selecting something other than my race or facebook picture

If Dan doesn't make female Inergon I will.
But I'd rather not see female kongul, kronyn or taltherians.

I love this idea.

Lol.

Why not Female Humans

I didn't think I had to say it.

someone asked for a female human?
this one's a terran outsider, but close enough

by the way, there is a 3rd zolazin,... but the pic we have is so small you can't really do much with the fat guy in the middle of this pic...


and i'd be willing to say the person on the left is yet another zolazin female (looking at the detail in the image)
i wonder if we can convince Dan to give us a wallpaper size pic of this trio

I don't see y he wouldn't it's just a pic.

If he makes it a wallpaper I'll be fiddling around with it.

+1 It has come up before but I still love this idea.

And i would like a full body avatar so we can dress em from head to toe and give em what weapons we want provided we unlock em or such.

That'd be too much effort and time.
Even just for a male/female of each race, it'll take a while. I'm sure if Dan asked, there'd be some arty people who'd do it for him.
One at a time.

I'd like to draw your attention to my sig thank you very much.
Normal avatars will do. If you want full body avatars you can go to me (since Darious doesn't do the type of banners I do)
