What the hell is a PVR?

Also, I think it would be nice of there was a CQ Screen in the ship hangar. A big one, yes, but still a screen. It could also double as a billboard.

fraps only uses a little amount of resources, you only need to have enough free HD space. If you can't run fraps at the same time as EVE you need to buy a new PC.

Bump
this needs to be kept at the top of the list for maximum exposure.

Read 1.5 pages and decided this needs to happen.

Also, as I was considering the various positions, it occured to me that a large fleet battle taking place under max TiDi could be recorded and later played back at full speed.

TiDi is a server response to an overload of events. The battle recorder has no such restrictions. It will simply compile the events and record the output stream to a file which can be played back at normal speed with no delays or loss of quality.

+10000 awesome idea

I also really love idea and I think strongly supports CCPs desire to have the community help promote the game. This capability would go a long way towards empowering folks to create some great videos to put on YouTube. The thought of being able to render at much higher resolutions and command the camera in a more cinematic way gives me wood!

This is not a shameless bump for a great idea.

I like this idea a LOT. As an avid fan of the earlier BF Titles (BF2 and BF2142), BattleRecorder was a huge boon to various gaming related functions from competitive vid capture and analysis, to machinima, catching hackers and just generating highlight reel footage....

This would be great if implemented. I'd love to see it.

Caveat: As long as it didn't detract from the renewed focus and vigor towards FIS.

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.

Honestly, the recorder prolly already exists (I refuse to believe they record some of that from in game, with a client). It probably just needs some polish.

Come on CCP, you know you wanna...

Also, who I gotta sleep with for a sticky?

Maybe the tool should record your own UI, so you can analyze your fights like: forgott to turn of the MWD / flown out of optimal range etc., which you did't saw while fighting.
and afterwards an option in the battle-player for show/don't show UI

Battlefield 2got something like this as far as I remember. You could replay a whole match that was "reconstructed" with recorded data. It was awesome.

Actually: No. If you want to record ur own UI, Fraps is your way.

We need a record that can "re-construct" engagements etc. w/ timeline and provides the ability to switch views etc. (aka Battlerecorder).

This would work out well and it could be the sort of player version of Jessica, Which I doubt we will ever be allowed to play with. But it would be very much superior to fraps or similar because there is far less load simply recordingt he data already known.


BTW merging of datasets should be allowed, This way if one person recording warps off in a fleet battle you can merge sets with someone else that was still on the battlefield allowing you to keep a constant feed on things.
