Flight Recorder

This could be thought of as a log of positions of ships and objects that could be activated and then played back (would be an extra feature of the Ship Camera so that you can go back and record your footage later) Viewing footage would have to be done whilst either docked or from the main menu.
I think this would be a great feature for Content Creators on Twitch and YouTube (Obsidian Ant, DravenDarken etc).
 
IL2 et al have a “track recorder” that can play back the saved games by rerendering them using session data, while allowing for different POVs, resolutions, speeds. Not necessarily better than Elite D’s excellent real time camera controls unless you’re really intending to exercise deliberate Directorial control/ DOP choices.
Well it does allow you to let the ship fly your previous engagement while you flip camera switches- good for fur ball dogfighting and multicrew ships- jumping from attacker to defending turrets, pilots, falling bomb view ala ‘Pearl Harbour’ etc.
And you can render in higher resolution than you can play at - hardware wise.
Not really necessary for jousting or solitary/ low player number engagements.
But more tools are better.
