While the game already includes randomly generated hairstyles, skin colours, glasses, and eyeball sizes, expanding this system to allow for comprehensive customization beyond just suit colours would greatly enhance our connection to the little green kerbanauts and their missions. Drawing inspiration from the discontinued kerbalizer game, we would be able to create or modify unique Kerbals with distinct facial features, hairstyles, and outfits & accessories that they would wear when idle (in the astronaut complex, colony habs, or floating around on a space-station).

When I was younger I was playing a lot with X-plane 7 Why ? The editors ! I've spent hours to try to make a plane and the most important feature for me was the Cockpit Editor I loved how I can put gauges everywhere ! ^^ This could be nice in KSP ! We have advanced features thanks to the mods like ASET Props Pack, RasterPropMonitor or even B9 Aerospace But we have nothing to put those screens, gauges, etc... (When i say "Nothing" I'm thinking about a Easy way to place things) The main idea would be to have a CLB, Cockpit Layout Building Inside this building you choose a empty cockpit then you put your assets like in the SPH or VAB with the same tools and interface Every instruments would have a cost, making empty cockpit cheaper (But without Navball, Resource indicators and timer in exterior view) But a full equipped cockpit will be giving a full range of informations but it will be very expensive ! Like the actual game there will have a standard layout for cockpits, like this someone inexperienced can still play the game without huge modifications to the gameplay How to use a customised cockpit ? Once your cockpit saved there is two solutions : Solution 1 : Your cockpit becomes a sub-assemblies or appear in the Cockpit tab of the part selector Solution 2 : Take the standard cockpit from the part selector Put it on the vessel Right-Click on the cockpit Click on the "Custom Cockpit" button Load your cockpit via the same interface than the vessel loader with a Thumbnail of the interior of the cockpit So, I hope you appreciate my idea and -most important- I hope you understand me, because my English is ... terrible ... Thanks for your attention !
