Cameras

Suggestion Title: Cameras on Suits

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary):

A device that can be toggled on the suit and acts as a camera for officers to view from security stations.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole):

This will allow LOs and the Commander to be able to see what is taking place on the ship. With more information they can both better roleplay and giver orders to the marines. At this point it is just a guy yelling over an intercom at others. RP wise I think it is reminiscent of the Aliens scenes.

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc):

I have no idea how you would code this but perhaps it could be built into the suit similar to suit sensors.

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it):

I imagine you would have a station like the conference room with multiple security camera viewers that the LOs and commander could use to see what is taking place on the ground.

Just some thoughts

If I remember correctly from some older versions of Bay (not sure about the new one), the Tactical Headset has a camera on it. It functions like a security camera, however it's attached to the side of someone's head. However, having every single one of the marines have one of these seems like it'd be a lot to take on for the LO's. Perhaps, if this was implemented, it would be given to the Squad Leader, or maybe the Radio Transmission's Officer? ]

It's canon for Colonial Marines to wear helmet-cameras. It would be nice for the Commander to be able to watch what his squad-leaders are doing in the field.

I think it's a great idea.

[UnknownMurder]

It's a great idea, even though suggested before... coughnotformatcough

That being said, we can use syndicate's helmet with cameras and replace it.

Sure, I mean this could give birth to a special class? Instead of all of the Marines being able to contact the MAIN channel,

A radio Transmissions Officer should do that, heh, I think I'll format this into a different thread.

I like the sound of this a lot considering I normally play a Lo it would give me...... new Rp scenarios for me to work with and also I would finally be able to understand what the marines mean by a "Black Lizard".

[Minimike]

Yes. I support this.

Camera's would be so helpful. Allowing Commander to actually tell what is going on.

[RoswellRay]

All of my yes,but we definately need several camera consoles in the bridge. Give the LOs somehting to do when not working,work in the room with he commander,each can watch a squad.

Also no to squad leader only helmet cams,yes to armour cams or helm cams for all. Because all it would take is one hugger to the helm to destroy commands ability to coordinate a squad.

[apophis775]

Sorry, can't do this yet.

It would... create SO MUCH LAG, it wouldn't even be funny.

That being said, After the conversion, it might be possible, as we will be removing a LOT of unnecessary stuff.

Roswell, the camera would be on the radio headset, which the aliens can't take off. However, if every squad member had a camera, then the location of a hive would be given out pretty quickly. I've noticed that most people disregard the fact that most of these places are dark on the cameras. If THEY see something, than they don't take into account actual visibility, and call it out for all to hear.

[apophis775]

Closed, this would cause too much lag at this time. Suggest it again, after New-Bay conversion.
