Yes, there is. You can mod the costume files and dress Trent up in any of the heads, bodies, cloths, hands that you see in the game NPCs. Of course, you are the only one who would ever see it. Trent's mouth won't move when he chats to NPCs if you use any other head.

That's OK, I never watch him talk anyway.

I just thought it would be cool for other players to be able to see you as someone else.

Anyway, how do I change the head, hands, etc?

There are only 10 kinds of people in the world:
those who understand binary, and those who don't.

Well, first off...other players only see your ship in space. I'm pretty sure that you don't see other characters at bases. Secondly, it's a mod running on your machine, so you'd be the only one to see it unless everyone on the server had the mod (in which case, they would look the same as you).

But if you want, there is a good example of one here.
Basically, it would require two changes and look like this:

1. Add this line into costumes.ini:
[Costume
nickname = DataDroid_trent
head = pi_pirate5_head
body = pi_orillion_body
righthand = benchmark_male_hand_right
lefthand = benchmark_male_hand_left

2. Make this change in mpnewcharacter.fl (in the exe folder)
;costume = %%BASE_COSTUME%%
costume = DataDroid_trent

Save the changes and start your server.
Open the game and create a new you...
(this is for MP, btw)

Thanks a lot, I'll have to try this out.
