Daram Thakk'ar Minmatar 343rd Mining Division	Posted - 2007.02.13 13:28:00 - [1] Had a small idea today in regards to the current big war shaping up. While paranoia would make it impossible, wouldn't it be fun to have Gulf-war style "Attatched units" in the combatant fleets? Objective reporter(s) in shuttles, frapsing and each night posting a vid with todays action.
Eternal Fury Shadow Of The Light R i s e	Posted - 2007.02.13 14:22:00 - [2] Doubt it'd happen as it would be too hard to prove that someone is "impartial". Hell, even the ISD agents are sometimes said to be slanted towards one side or the other. I love the idea of it, but getting people who are truly impartial, and not just alts gathering intel is too hard to do. Eternal Fury Shadow Of The Light .SOL.
End Yourself Core Domination Big Bang Quantum	Posted - 2007.02.13 14:42:00 - [3] Gulf-war style "Attatched units" = objective reporters --- Fighting for peace is like screwing for virginity.
dalman Finite Horizon	Posted - 2007.02.13 14:51:00 - [4] You need to be put in front of the (forum)flame-thrower for just suggesting that there would ever be such a thing as an objective reporter IRL, not even to mention this less clever idea... Am I forced to have any regret? I've become the lie, beautiful and free In my righteous own mind I adore and preach the insanity you gave to me
Valekrin Ziemisra 12-Gauge	Posted - 2007.02.13 14:56:00 - [5] With all these titans flying around i doubt they will get a lot of footage

Less clever why? As for the "objective" part, fair enough Anything else you feel the need to enlarge your unsignificant self by trolling about?
Troubadour Slacker Industries Exuro Mortis	Posted - 2007.02.13 16:42:00 - [7] There is a way it could work. Get a bunch of good eve-writers, have them form a small corp, and then have all parties in the war have them set + standing to them. The reporters don't have to be extremely impartial, nobody can be, they just have to be able to tell the story of the event in a factual and exciting way. As long as one can keep the reporters from doing things like reporting fleet movements to the enemy and such, they can zip around and see everything. Of course they will also probably get popped quite a bit by things such as DDDs and friendly fire, but it's all part of the job.
Kothar Zanpheria Caldari Chosen Path Lotka Volterra	Posted - 2007.02.13 16:47:00 - [8] Edited by: Kothar Zanpheria on 13/02/2007 16:43:30 Couldn't CCP do that? I mean the EVE video's are from live gameplay and they had EVE TV, why couldn't they capture some of this stuff? Put's on flameproof suit, since I know alot of people are mad at CCP

Put's on flameproof suit, since I know alot of people are mad at CCP Could but unfortunately won't. The new Eve TV series might cover it a bit though from what i'm told.

Put's on flameproof suit, since I know alot of people are mad at CCP *Goes to buy a flame thrower Nice idea in theory, but in practice not so cool. I doubt anyone in this game is 100% impartial, not the players, ISD, or devs. I once heard Samuel L. Jackson plays EVE, if that's the case, I'd trust him...well, not really, but having his voice giving comments to some fights would rock _______________________________________________ My views are my own and I don't represent my corp.
Cmd Woodlouse Cataclysm Enterprises Dusk and Dawn	Posted - 2007.02.13 16:56:00 - [11] You ppl not involved are getting far to excited. It hasnt even begun yet... --------------------------------
Hennry Fromer Gallente radiated space gerbils	Posted - 2007.02.13 17:53:00 - [12] The prhase "Where are your troops and can I go and count them" kind of pops into my head from that suggestion.
Audri Fisher Caldari The Keep THE R0CK	Posted - 2007.02.13 21:04:00 - [13] Originally by: Kothar Zanpheria Edited by: Kothar Zanpheria on 13/02/2007 16:43:30 Couldn't CCP do that?

Put's on flameproof suit, since I know alot of people are mad at CCP probably 1/3 to 1/4 of the anti BoB forces are there exactly becuase of your last statement.

The phrase "Can you show me the way to the nuclear wessels?" popped into mine, for some reason.

While paranoia would make it impossible, wouldn't it be fun to have Gulf-war style "Attatched units" in the combatant fleets? Objective reporter(s) in shuttles, frapsing and each night posting a vid with todays action. Right because the reporters were so objective. I would totaly trust a corp of alts with the location and make up of my fleet right now, given the parties that have recently admitted to blatantly cheating over a long length of time and repeatedly covering it up. Plus I can just see someone pulling a Geraldo and giving away a fleet location and a whole new scandal starting. *edited b/c the eve-O forum rocks and messes with posts
Esaam DeVries Infinite Improbability Inc Dusk and Dawn	Posted - 2007.02.13 23:28:00 - [18] Originally by: Trinity Faetal what happened to the independent d2 reporter ? Lies! All lies! We can't read nor write in D2! And that's mandatory! -- "Please, would you tell me," said Alice, a little timidly, ... "why your cat grins like that?"

Founder Meo Gallente Dark-Rising Fallen Souls	Posted - 2007.02.13 23:53:00 - [20] so i guess theyd be what ? a tryhard ex-ISS thatd be neutral with everybody ?too many people would abuse that system for personal gain ----------------------------------------------- -Who would bring a charge against God's elect ? it is God who justifies- Romans 8:33
Anonymous Coward Gallente Panopticon Citadel	Posted - 2007.02.14 00:22:00 - [21] Originally by: Founder Meo so i guess theyd be what ? a tryhard ex-ISS thatd be neutral with everybody ?too many people would abuse that system for personal gain How exactly do the words "ISS" and "neutral" end up in the same sentence? Originally by: Dianabolic I was sworn to secrecy by CCP.
Gen Maton Ars Caelestis Curse Alliance	Posted - 2007.02.14 00:48:00 - [22] To be honest, given the possible spy angle, I'd shoot the embedded reporter before the fleet left its starting system.
Aries Acheron Caldari The Valour United Confederation of Corporations	Posted - 2007.02.14 01:48:00 - [23] Given that there really are a few neutral writers, the main thing is (speaking from reporting for Eve Tribune) is that a person can only be in one place at one time. Covering a single battle is really nothing, as compared to larger scale pictures. ~~~ Action! Suspense! Jita! http://survive-eve.blogspot.com/

Szprinkoth Sponsz ISS Navy Task Force Interstellar Starbase Syndicate	Posted - 2007.02.14 04:03:00 - [26] If people would just have their covops pilot/sniper warpin FRAPS all the battles we would have a lot of quality footage!

The phrase "Can you show me the way to the nuclear wessels?" popped into mine, for some reason. Or "Could you give D2 some IP addresses to cross check please CCP?" popped into mine.
ElweSingollo The Vanyar Confederation of Independent Corporations	Posted - 2007.02.14 05:27:00 - [28] Originally by: Eternal Fury Doubt it'd happen as it would be too hard to prove that someone is "impartial". Hell, even the ISD agents are sometimes said to be slanted towards one side or the other. I love the idea of it, but getting people who are truly impartial, and not just alts gathering intel is too hard to do. Mostly because half of ISD are indeed in one alliance or another so tbh you wouldn't really expect them to be neutral in any way shape or form given that no?
Djerin Obsidian Exploration Services The Pentagram	Posted - 2007.02.14 13:25:00 - [29] You guys seem to be mistaken. He clearly said he wanted it like in gulf war $NUMBER. So that actually means every ally has its "objective" attached units. But they are not attached to the frontlines. Instead a squad of pilots will be founded who have proven themselves losers, idiots, smacktalkers, fools or just called their ceo names... whatever. And this bunch of frustrated guys is sent to some safe place to fire some bullets down the field without any enemies. The attached units make up glorious stories of heroism and pride giving some random footage they captured there. Isn't that how the attached units worked in gulf war $NUMBER ?! Originally by: Cipher7 Its like if the Imperial Star Destroyers flew past the X-Wing fighters and started flying circles around them, it would turn Star Wars into a slapstick comedy a-la Benny Hill instead
Dark Shikari Caldari Imperium Technologies Firmus Ixion	Posted - 2007.02.14 13:28:00 - [30] First of all, shuttles would be killed; you'd need covert ops, or at least ships with prototype cloaks. Second, I think many of the battle reports here in COAD are impartial enough that we probably don't need an attached unit; especially as the attached unit would know little about what's going on in the leadership of the fleet. The best thing we can do is flame those who post horribly biased battle reports (regardless of what side they are on) until all of them are unbiased enough to be acceptable EVE-Trance Radio--The EVE Textboard
