Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary): I noticed while playing a Corporate Liaison of the Weyland-Yutani Corporation that if I attach a picture to the paper I am attempting to send it will not work with the fax machine. I was more so interested if it could be possible to change that so pictures just like papers would be transmitted back to wherever the papers go to the Weyland-Yutani Corporation. Making a report to the Weyland-Yutani Corporation about an alien species I would imagine someone if they could get a picture would, and seeing as the Corporate Liaison has a camera in their room I am guessing that is the whole purpose of it? Considering their entire RP based job is sending back information to the Weyland-Yutani Corporation and helping them assess their assets.
Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole): This would help improve the RP around the Corporate Liaison job because you would file reports along with sending back pictures of the various things the marines bring back to the Sulaco helping better inform the Weyland-Yutani Corporation of what is going on down on the planet they have hired Colonial marines to investigate and neutralize.
Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc): Either you attach it to the report itself (The paper) and it sends back with the paper or you make a report about the picture you are about to send and then send the picture directly after you fax over the report (on paper). I am not sure if this would work or if you could fax over pictures, I tried in-game and it just didn't work so now I am here.
Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it): Just make it so when you add the picture to the paper it copies both of them, but then again I don't know if that would work but if it did it would definitely expand the RP aspect of the corporate liaison because they could take pictures now with their camera that actually mattered and could benefit their RP focused job of informing the Weyland-Yutani Corporation about what is going on.

Yes, for all that's holy in CM it'd be wonderful to have this so the CL can go around and be Inspector Clouseau finding all the clues as to what happened and taking photos of the missions progress. +1

When I played CL I was actually surprised this wasn't in! I figured it was something codewise, a limitation? +1

I took pictures of aliens in the flesh battling Marines while on the Planet, then realized I had no way to show WY.

Sounds like a tiny little RP improvement. Gives the liason a real reason to take pictures. No harm no foul. +1 if devs wanna put something into this.
I play Aria Vivici. I think people like me. I'm not sure why.

+1, had to pretend that the CL's bookcase contained a hidden camera for a while.
