Without player nametags, is the plan for player recognition a diegetic approach, such as making player clothes and looks sufficient distinct to allow us to recognize individuals?

I think it kind of is a little bit of a complex question, but I would answer it like this. So every location that you're going to go to is going to have a theme, right? Every planet is going to have its own look. It's going to have its own style. The plan has been to, and is to, make players and NPC or AI clothes the same. Creating two sets of assets is really difficult, and you want things to blend in with that location, so it doesn't necessarily make sense for that. So if you wanted to dress like a local, you can, right? That's absolutely, totally possible. If you want to dress like somebody from a different system, a different planet, that's also totally fine.
