Elite Dangerous Movie Play™

I don't get why you didn't just suggest spectator mode like every other game has, instead of this convoluted system. Press X to turn into a camera is a lot better than logging out into some totally different game mode just to take a clean shot. Since we're purportedly getting vanity camera drones as a module later the whole thing seems a bit moot.

I like the easy questions...

The reason that we cannot have external views is that it breaks immersion and could be used to cheat. (not my words)

After seeing the argument flogged to death, much like a dead horse. I came up with this idea, to remove the problem.

I thought they already solved it by promising camera drones? Immersive and useless for combat.

Nice idea, Nutter, but I can't be bothered to swap from open to solo just for the HighRes-screens, so I doubt I would swap to movie mode often. I'd prefer to have HighRes-screens and a movie-mode in (open)game. But ya, I know, it's an optional feature that would be immersion breaking for people that don't want to use it anyways. *sigh*

Nevertheless... supported, because I like to see movies and machinimas in the ED universe.

I'm the same, exploring, find something really cool and take a screen - can't be bothered to switch to solo, why O why it was disabled in Open... *sigh*

Indeed, it seems doubly annoying especially when you're probably the only person for hundreds of light years, it's not like you lagging out for a few seconds is going to make any deference to anybody.
