I agee! (without bias obvs )

Yea, making vids with sick fast pans and zooms with some motion blur would be erotic to Eve Online's videophiles. YouTube will be swamped with stunning Eve Online videos to rival the Call Of Duty spam. Just IMAGINE the amount of people that will come play Eve Online if there were hundreds and hundreds of videos on YouTube or Vimeo. More fodder for the wars and 0.4 space. WANT just doesn't quite cut how much I NEED this to be added. DESPERATE is probably a better word.


There's no shame on the forums anyway


I play BF2142 to relieve myself of needs to play DUST514. It's only half working. Kind of like digital methadone. Recording on the client is one of the most faultless ways of catching people botting and misbehaving in most games. Why not Eve Online? Every game that got a record feature ended up generating a scary huge community of die-hard directors. Why not Eve Online? We already have some of the most stunning videos without this software, imagine how much time would be saved for those who already make amazing vids? They'd become epic video creating machines. You'd run out of fights before you ran out of footage.

Seeing as we all learn from seeing it either being done, and then doing it, I can't think of a reason to NOT implement it. From catching cheaters, botters, 'sploiters, spammers, to spreading intel, teaching fleet tactics, demonstrating chaos in action first-hand, Eve Online needs it's own in-game record feature.

CCP? GIVE NAO.

I've not gone through every post so I'm not sure if it has been suggested.

The data recordings (the simple data showing ship positions, weapons/offensive module notifications) could maybe be downloaded allowing us to load it in to a "lite client". When loaded, it would allow us to play the "video" as if we were playing the game. It would not include things like shield/armour amounts of ships on field, damage notifications, local chat, people not on grid etc. It would just allow us to see the battle and control the camera thus allowing us to see from any perspective on grid.

This could be nice for watching recorded fleet battles or Aliance Tourney battles. One of the most annoying things I find about watching an AT match is the fact that you are forced to watch what the person making the vid is watching and they are often zoomed right in to a ship basically missing all of the action. Obviously you wouldn't be able to use this to watch the AT live, it would need to be recorded and then loaded up to be DL'ed and watched later.

We could also set up a database of these videos in a sub-forum. Instead of uploading a vid to youtube, you upload the data and people can watch it on their client instead. If theres a fight on the gate between a very good PVP'er and a small gate camp, you could set the camera over the gate and watch from above as the pirates blink out of existence one by one.
