The texture on the model is being finished up now. Then it will get rigged and animated. As far as actually being implemented in game on the code side, there is no eta on that, and it will likely be quite a while before we can hook it up as a selectable option.
Yay! It would be great to have some alternate character models, just for fun. It's. More of an aesthetic perk than something that is really necessary, but it still seems worth doing.

Instead of hooking it as a separate item why not have the main menu be the location (next to the volume) where you select male or female and just use the same animations, rig, hooks, etc for the new "skin" (texture). this will save time, effort, and hdd space.
Then the only thing you would really have to work on is the 3rd person mode and a way to change between the 1st and 3rd person modes. (example could be the letter "Q")
Personally I'd like to see different male options in addition. I'm personally not a fan of having a mohawk with blue highlights, so a female would be nice as well!

The Male character probably has wider shoulders and is just differently proportioned in general, using the same animations would not turn out well.

or a pervert who wants to see boobs when he looks down.
JK
they absolutely have thought of it and are probably working toward it. Probably on next 3-6 months!
