Here's something new to experiment with.
It was just brought to my attention by ATAG_Freya that you can customize your pilot's face. Of course, why didn't I think about that.
This is what the facial template looks like, although I was only able to find three. It would be nice to access all the different nationalities in game.

If you are feeling really creative, you could try and paste your own face on there.
Tattoos, demon eyes, this could get interesting.lol
