Yes well I had thought about making different armor variations.

I decided that the crew members of this ship/caravan here are all of the same faction, so they wear the same "armor set".

Now... it's absurd that an old aged man has such sculpted muscles, body.. and infact I was planning to modify his geometry around the stomach.. and having him crippling rather then walk normally.

But as you've said, being an indipendent development the amount of things to take care of is unbelievable.
