I'd actually prefer to keep the player sprites and outfits as they are.
Your sprites aren't bad or anything but the breasts are disproportionately large and the broader hips just make it look like they're inexplicably wearing jodhpurs when clothed. The issue is that if you want to stick to the same base more or less, you can't really make these sprites more feminine without exaggerating things to a weird and kind of off-putting degree. I gave it a try myself because I like to give visuals, but what I ended up with is pretty much the same as the current nude female sprite with a single pixel bitten out of the waist.
As it is I kind of like that you can't really tell whether a particular spaceman is actually a spacewoman without checking the name. I like that we have tubby little more-or-less-sexless sprites.
That said I'd actually like it if there were optional female uniforms in some of the sectors. I'm not sure how I feel about having them as the default for a female character, I think I'd prefer if there were just a few dresses in the uniform lockers (or Head lockers) along with the existing outfits. Maybe some more feminine costume outfits too, like the princess dress.
