Build-A-Commander or Commander customization debate (mod or in-game)

As someone who has played a lot of TF2 which has incredible amount of customization I say yes to visual customization. In TF2 people can really personalize their character to almost anything. If they wanna make goofy and derpy character and share a laugh with other people they can do that. If they want to make serious war hero type of character they can do that. Some people get only the most expensive stuff they can possibly obtain by trading and buying. Some people just don't care. But they all play and live in harmony together. But the customization is pointless if you don't have enough variation and all the options looks just almost the same, that's why it is necessary to sacrifice the strict visual style if you're ever going to make visual customization. And yes, there has to be goofy options, otherwise there is no point if you can't even have fun with it.

edit: but this game doesn't try to be humorous like TF2.

I think it is a cool think to customize a commander
