Holo-Me changes?

[Greyhawk The Angry]

I've just gotten back into Elite after a two or three years away, and I'm wondering if they changed the "holo-me" design. My memory isn't perfect, but I'd swear it looked different, especially the body frame.

They've changed it a few times over the years. They also changed the rendering for the NPCs several times over the years. My SLF pilot has gone through various revisions, from "hot babe", to "euwww", to "meh"

At this point, they should just add the option to customize your hired crew through Holo-Me. I've seen a bunch of different people with the same complaint.

Would love that.

It's so funny how we're shifting back to the dark ages concerning sexes
Even when the game starts if you left the game on foot, the character you see turning while the game loads is supposed to be a man but has the lower front body of a woman no @ what so ever and the upper body of what could be an athletic woman with very small or no features or a not so sport inclined man, it's never really defined.... a very weird era we're living in

So I'm not crazy, they changed something the few years I was away.
Really wish I'd taken a screenshot back then.

I've noticed that in UK made games had one back when I had oculus called lone echo where you're some kind of android on a space station and you're with this "girl" that looks more like a guy but you're not sure, she has features but barely so it's always kind of weird

Sounds like most western games released over the last several years.

What I miss most was editing holo-me used to be in environment.

This weird non existent gray lit stuff that has trended as some games make changes is not the way.

Wastes a lot of time loading in and out of the editor to see the changes in a proper environment.

Fun thing to do in the old version, set ship into a spin in front of a star with FA-off, go into holo me editor.

Horizons version used to glitter like a projection.
Oddy version tries to look like it's solid.
