I wonder... some time ago Wiz said that Art is working on something really cool and now this. Perhaps we'll get robot portraits for all species groups.

GitS is certainly influential as far as cyberpunk goes, but I'd dare say that the concepts it explores have been elaborated on beyond the scope of what it considered- a full-body cyborg with a robot brain no longer has anything biological about them. They're not a cyborg anymore, they're an upload (because if you have digitized consciousness, a human body is optional- you can upload it into anything that can support it, which GitS tentatively explores from time to time).
Wasn't debating the point--just saw your comment and realized it's a compressed version of a two season show.
I think it's an ambiguous question, and I'm okay not having an answer, but that shouldn't stop other people from finding their own.
I'm a Big Fan of stuff dealing with transferable consciousness, ha. One of the first books I remember reading that dealt with it extensively was Altered Carbon, and while the Takeshi Kovacs series almost exclusively deals with consciousness transfers into human or nearhuman bodies ("resleeving", god I love that term), I've since consumed plenty of media that has to do with the point where it lets you stop being human.Wasn't debating the point--just saw your comment and realized it's a compressed version of a two season show.
Suffice to say, I feel the distinction in terminology is important.

Do Android dream of electric sheeps ?
Human ? Robot ?
Does it really matters ?

That'd be quite a lot of assets if they make android-equivalent portraits for the biological races for the consciousness upload transcendance. Though honestly, the mechanical forms would take whatever form they want, and even transfer between bodies.
They were told they could become anything ...
... so they became toasters

I'm betting the "cool art thing" Wiz mentioned is customizeable ship colors; he teased that a while back as a possible addition to 1.4 so it's presumably coming soon. Unless development priorities changed, of course.
Still, synth brain uploading sounds awesome too. Certainly fits the mentality of one of my custom races. I hope the AI can do this too.

Well in the case of Blade Runner, the android are bioengineered construct, not synthethic, so the difference with a human is even more fussy.

UPDATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Judging by the sice of the slice bar to the side, I calculated that there are aproximattly, and I hope I'm not wrong, 15 or more ascension perks to mod our empire the way we want. (Playing a little with the bar in paint, I realice that there are more, maybe 20 perks, to choose from)

I hope that the gene-engineered populations will have a new name like post- meta- or whatever rather than the same name and appearance as before.
He also promises on twitter that next weeks dev diary will be even cooler than this weeks dev diary.

Being able to name (and rename) the spinoff species ourselves would also be appreciated.

The icon for it certainly looks like part of a ringworld habitat if you look at it carefully.
I hope there are "misunderstood" paths like the Covenant in Halo where "transcendence" is actually wiping the galaxy off all life.........
