Can we customize our pilots to suit how we see ourselves?

Can we choose pilots which more closely resemble us - or our vision of ourselves - or completely alien? Or are we stuck with those two.

Sad indeed, but I do believe all is not yet lost.

I'm confused, are you saying that in the character creation if it were to be added will have only women who are not attractive and gay men who are white for appearances (Which doesn't make sense)? Or am I wrong and you are saying that the two groups you mentioned cannot be apart of the villains? We do have both a black female (One of the most prominent in the Empire at the moment. Also a great character and not a checkbox) and a gay Asian as part of the Empire so it isn't just straight white men (You aren't evil just because you are an Imp either).

Either way, this really isn't the game to rant about PC culture or whatever else and your concern doesn't really seem justified. Though the description for Varko needing the bit about his husband's concerns may be a bit silly, it really doesn't feel forced. Feels like Star Wars to me, not anything like the sequels where things are in your face.

Unfortunately there is no super detailed customization in terms of looks, like you would have in a RPG. There will be a selection of premade heads to pick from. Some male, some female, some alien, probably unlocking more later on. On top of that you get to choose body type, helmet, flight suit, non-combat outfit and a voice pack.

If you want to see what was available in an early build, take a look:

Oh cool. Thanks for linking that video. I had not seen that yet. That's a lot more customization options than i thought there would be considering we'll likely rarely see our own pilot in 3rd person.

while we wont see our pilots often, we will see our team mates pilots before every match in the planning room. so it'll be cool to see all the variety of everyone's pilots.

Preset heads unfortunately, more human variants than aliens. If you aren't happy with that then you can just wear a helmet :P
