Battle Recorder.....

I'd like to see a feature where when i press a hot key the client on my end would begin recording the locations of everything on grid. Information such as ship type, weapons used, ship positions, etc. then when i press the hot key again it ends the recording. Then later on I could render the information collected and view it again in the client. The only thing that could make it cooler is if I could add my own camera controls to turn each fight into a cinematic experience. You could even replay huge battles that took hours due to time dilation in real time without the delay.

Think of the youtube videos and marketing possibilities both for the game itself but even in game corporations and individuals could make things ranging from corporation ads to pvp guides. People could create entire series about eve and have perfect footage of the events unfolding.... People could even record the data and send it to sites like The Mittani and Eve News where they could make all kinds off eye candy related to the articles they post.

Thoughts?

Make it idiot-proof and someone will make a better idiot.

Was discussed recently and people bring this up from time to time.
Tl;dr: EVE relies on player-driven activity heavily and inclusion of this "replay" feature will allow community to finally fill undersaturated niche of EVE videos that aren't 2 hour long AARs, but have some cinematic art value, so full support.
