I've seen people having their first name "DR." or people play litteral cyborgs being put into human skin suits and other akward configurations. Personsally, i am not a fan of these already and this PR will make this development even worse (mind you, i stil acc3pt them existing and play with it, but its an oddball for me)
If we want the common crewmember to be visually unique, distinct and the station population to be a ragtag group of fancy/unique main-characters, then yeah, this PR is great.
If we want to common crewmember to be a number in the system and want NT to tell their employeee "i don't care sbout your fancy degree, you are a fucking janitor now", this PR isn't a great idea.
Character customisation can be immersion- and setting-breaking. And i think this PR crosses that border.
I don't really think cyborg bioshells and custom skin tones are immersion- or setting-breaking, considering both of those can be done within the round. Changing skin color is non-invasive and takes mere seconds to complete, so it's not unreasonable to think that the crew may have gotten it done at Central, or during a previous shift.
