Helmet/Suit Cams!

Post by Butterrobber202 » 26 Jun 2015, 17:01

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary):This is more or less to give the Command something to do, Every SL has a Helmet Camera or armor with a Camera in it due to facehuggers destroying Helmets. It would work like a Sec Cams, or some kind of Observe Verb, in a Computer. It would let you observe the person wearing the armor/Helmet. This would let Command get a first person view of the battle field

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole): Gives the CO/LOs something to do ( And/or dick about)

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc):Get a Helmet/Armor shove a Cam into it, let Command look through those cams.

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it):Dunno, maybe a Observe verb

I think it may be planned for ALPHA... Otherwise... From what I heard. It creates lag.

I know another serve did this for a while for security.

Started off really well, but it was REALLY LAGGY. Eventually they reduced it to just the HOS and everybody stopped caring and checking the cams on them.

Why would it create lag? Nuke ops have this, and ERT, just make it so you actually activate the camera instead of having it pre activated, then it goes into a LO computer, like in the nuke ops ship computer, and as soon as marines activate their cameras the computer starts getting names, just take the damned scheme of the Nuke Ops.

This might be something possible for the Alpha. Accepted.
