Okay, I know that if this were ever implemented that it would be VERY VERY low on the priority list...but I thought I might as well post it jsut to find out if theres a chance of it happening...
New Observe Mode?
Instead of the current, almost never used observe mode, is there any chance we could get a new, better, observer mode? heres what I'm thinking...
1. Faction specific observe modes:
For instance, ICC observe mode allows you to see what ICC can see...and they can chat in ICC fleet chat, allowing the ships to fight while the observer reports
2. Easier to enter observe mode:
The current system (observe being next to play) makes it very hard to enter observe mode after playing, a system where you could enter observe mode (always faction specific to the faction you are currently playing) from the jumpgate would allow commanders to actually command the armies instead of fighting which should help the game to become a bit more tactical
3. Better observe mode:
The observe mode should allow you to see hull/armor/shield dmg on ships, and on planets you should be able to see what buildings are there and what inf.
I believe that this (while low on the priority area) would help the game become more tactical and less mindless fighting...what do you guys think?

do you really think that they have time to spend making new observe modes? I'd hope that lag is a much higher priority...

He said he realizes it's low priority. I think it's a good idea, but it can definitely wait a few patches.

observers should even be able to tlak to a faction......
the risk of cheating too high
and binks all that tactical data should be automatically relayd to you when you fly the COMMAND dread =) mehitnks thats better idea.

It would be too hard to fly a ship and see all that tactical stuff at the same time, though if they could figure out a way to do it I'm all for it...and as for cheating as I said they could only see what their team could see...so it's the difference between having random noob scout report what he see's while flying or experianced commander watch him and report for him as he flys...and as for the first two replies, I said it would be VERY low priority, jsut wondering if the devs ever plan on doing anything like this...
