Seriously, no stream delay is a REALLY bad idea. You can literally get a free overview of the enemy team and ewar. You can see who they are repping, etc.

Out of today we have learned a few things and one of those things is we don't bring up the battlefield till everyone has landed on grid. So by that point it's a moot point to have a delay on the stream considering that you're all on grid already and can see everything. There may have been a few hic-ups today but we'll do better tomorrow.

Just remember this is the first time we are doing this or have done anything like this at this scale. So there were bound to be a few hic-ups on the first day. We'll work on making it better on Day 2.

Have a nice table view is a billion times faster and easier to use than natural game play in making decisions.

i.e. Look at ships to see who is being pre-repped vs. just seeing X,Y,Z have reps on them, lets alpha Q before he gets reps!!!!!!!

You are affecting game play no matter what.

But whatever. Bigger fish to fry.

After looking back on it there is a small delay in the stream anyways (5-10 seconds) but I get your point. It'll be something we look at if we ever do this again in the future or we may apply it to the streams today.

Not saying I'm an amazingly great streamer or anything, but "not showing whats on field before the match is ready thereby showing what one team is fielding before the other team arrives" is a pretty simple thing to do. The excuse "it's our first time" doesn't really stick since you've known you'd be doing this stream for weeks on behalf of CCP and had ample time to practice and account for this sort of thing. If you ever noticed, CCP doesn't show the battlefield until 20 seconds or so before the match starts for really good reason.
