What are your thoughts on having the ability to stream what's being seen on another player's Star Citizen screen via a "helmet" or "ship nose" in game camera module? This could be used for scouting, exploring, data hack/ interception, & FPS CQB video streams.asked by Silver fox

TL;DRRoberts says the roadmap includes in-game streaming players can toggle on and off, spectator cams around the universe, news-van streaming and in-fiction races, and viewing another player's viewpoint is possible, depending on equipment.

So I'm not quite sure of if you mean like streams as in stream twitch stream, I mean in the game one of the features that we have on our roadmap that I'm actually fairly keen on is the ability to if you want to stream ingame and turn it off and on. So think of it like playstation sharing where the ultimate idea is I'm flying around and I'll stream this and if I was on the website and I was looking at the user icon or ID for me, you could have like a little red dot next to him and go "Oh look, he's streaming" and you can click on him and *Pssh* open up and see what he's streaming which would be pretty cool.Also I wanted to have cameras set around the universe so you can sort of almost see traffic cams on what's happening. So we'll put some sort of spectator cams that we'll stream in the universe that you will be on the web and you can go to our site and go "Oh look, what's happening in Tera right now? What's happening around Crusader?." Those are sort of pretty cool streaming options. We have the Reliant News Van which we just announced during the livestream and one of the sort of kind of more fun smaller professions is the streamer, the new reporter or whatever, where you could stream action that's happening and go around and that's kind of what the Reliant News Van is for. The idea would be to sort of film action and you can stream it and obviously you can see it on the website, but maybe some of it could be streamed ingame so to speak.So if you were in a bar on the T.V. maybe that kind of thing is streaming is. Additionally we want to do the same for races. We really do want to make the Murray Cup something that is fiction and happens and has a whole series of races that gets competed over a season and there's qualifying rounds and all the rest of the stuff and yeah we have a competition for it in Star Citizen that's in fiction that you can watch in a bar or you can also watch on the sight for the races. People can compete and train for it and ultimately we want to do the same with Arena Commander in Star Citizen because "The Men of the in fiction game". We're sort of going to do in Esports, Game within a game kind of thing.Hope that answered the question, I'm not quite sure if you wanted to see the view of another player in your view in the actual game itself, so potentially we may allow that because that's not that difficult, you just switch their viewpoint, but that would depend on the equipment. We already have a mini version of that because if you're in the sort of rear operator seat of the Super Hornet and you operate the turret, you are now seeing the turrets point of view, not actually your point of view sitting in the cockpit. There's already sort of this looking at some other viewpoint in the game via that. Alright, hope that answers your question.
