More Observer Ideas
posted on October 30th, 2009, 3:16 am
Follow a ship in 3rd person view (like the first person view follow)
* Sometimes I feel like my screen moving can be a bit jerky, especially when there's not much going on. It would be nice to select a ship and follow it (in 3rd person view (the default)) to give some more "life" to those slow moments. It also means I can get a drink and look like I'm still paying attention
As Observer: Listen to Player/Team chat
- Have Teams' chat clearly indicate which team they are on
- Have chat clearly indicate if it is open/private/allied/etc
As Observer: Have ability to show what avatar players are. (I would think a row down the left side with the player's name and avatar picture (similar to non-observer's avatar picture) would do nicely) Player's name in their color would be helpful as well.
(note) A selected StarFleet Command looses selection when it Warps-In vessels. Slightly annoying when in Observer mode.

This actually is already included, just have a ship selected when you hit the cine-mode
The rest are pretty good ideas

SFC does the same thing to the player as well. It is equally annoying.

Ah, cool
. I haven't done it recently, so couldn't remember precisely

Hmm... cine doesn't seem to work (no follow). And cine takes away all of the strategy information... Alas
