characters customization?

[bubblishGUM]

i noticed that the devs as kermans look like playable kermans, NOW I love the idea of making my very own kerman that I can kill. In my opinion i think that thats most likely going to be in a far, far, far later patch... But they realy did look like playalbe characters so mabe its sooner than we think! but whats your guys take on this? http://kerbaldevteam.tumblr.com/post/30483723151/the-crew

It's clearly obvious the hair was painted on in a third party program. I honestly don't see the reason for character customization if your Kerbals die all the time.

I don't like the idea, there's no point of customizing your kerbals, as Nutt007 said, They die all the time

The do come back around, though. So there is some point.

I'd argue there's a point for those who really get into their Kerbals as individuals. Helps give them all unique identities, other than just a different name. Might be a waste of dev time right now, but I think eventually it would be a cool little feature.

id say why not

[LaydeeDem]

I think that randomized Kerbal appearances should be good enough.

maybe as a last minute thing when they have all the major features in the game implemented, i.e. docking, finishing up the solar system, etc.

I think there is a point, you may want your character to be the first on Mun or a new planet. When it's just a random character you don't have a connection to them, they are random. Think, you customise their faces and hair like with the dev team, wear different coloured suits, choose their names, their behaviour, etc. I think this would be a really cool and welcomed addition.

I like it. Would love to have more customization, after many of the important features, of course.

I would like to see this done as well, just at the end of the development phase.

This would make some of your long run missions more interesting and you have more incentive to rescue them when things go wrong.
