It's about time for the pirate generator to get an update.

A lot of players care about their pirate's appearance, and some even spend hours rolling pirates

A lot of players worry about looks instead of jumping into a game, wasting a lot of "hours" looking for a pirate look they wont see but 2% of there gaming life. (Main Menu and during emotes)

only to see that they are missing an eye, scars, horrific default make-up or missing teeth.

Arg! they be pirates, not barbies.

just a few tools to weed out the ones we don't want.

Body Size, M/F only two the game can really get with. Or better yet, whatever you Favorite the game recognizes the features and re rolls using that.
Besides that. Making a pirate should not be a main priority, get into the game already! :D

Out pirates' story should unfold with us along for the ride, give our pirates story sort of like we can give our ships stories through captaincy.

Having preferences will help a lot, gender, scars, old/young, body size etc. I am not asking for the ability to create a pirate from scratch, just a few tools to weed out the ones we don't want.

I am positive this addition will be well received by the community.

Nah. Imo it's perfect. it creates alot of goofy pirates. People need to embrace the randomness of what is dealt.
