Just a side thought
would be nice to be able to view from another players ship. Have a similar request like gang invite that the player can either accept or deny (have it auto-deny by default)
then your view shifts to the view of that players ship. you can controal the pan camera but thats all, the other player wont even notice you as they still have control of thier camera.
Would be great for making vids or training new guys or just letting people watch battles when they are too far away to make it without the need of someone having FRAPs setup each fight.
Just a thought

it's not a bad idea I guess but it would make even MORE lag I think.
Still, it's a nice idea.

hrmm not so sure on the lag , the node does not have to deal with an additional object in space or any mods only a camera angle.
Another option (less lag) is to simply have a remote view of the other player camera angle i.e. you have no control and its like watching someone using remote desktop on your comp. that way the node simply send the same data to two IP instead of one no computation required

I think the point is that it should be possible to view from the position of another player who may not be in the same system as you.
Each time this feature is used, the server needs to send information regarding all the objects the other player sees, and while a player is watching from the perspective of the other player he will need to receive the double amount of info regarding what goes on (both hiw own info as well as that perceived by his friend), so yes more lag...
And the big blob fights will become really crazy if they have a 1000 spectators watching from safe space

You can look at a fight from 200 km, but you won't be able to use the look at command to see inside the battle.
What could be changed is that you can use this option whatever the range is (no more need to check the 100km range), or if any gang member is within 100 km of what you want to look at (could be client calculated).
It would be nice to be able to follow an interceptor flying to the target not loosing focus at 100 km...
