Read 1.5 pages and decided this needs to happen.

Also, as I was considering the various positions, it occured to me that a large fleet battle taking place under max TiDi could be recorded and later played back at full speed.

TiDi is a server response to an overload of events. The battle recorder has no such restrictions. It will simply compile the events and record the output stream to a file which can be played back at normal speed with no delays or loss of quality.

+1, I never post on the forums, but this is something i've always thought about. Would do so much good for eve....you can record small fights with fraps, but it's in low quality with a messy HUD and lag. +1 +1 +1, please!

Luv it. I honestly don't know why something like this isn't as common in games as the ability to add or dissable subtitles from the games menu. CCP, I know you can hear us even if you don't comment.....................THIS, don't care how, just ADD THIS. There's just too many reasons this could be useful, awesome, and ridiculously bad-ass.

One wonder why they aren't prioritizing this more, given how good a marketing tool it would be with oodles of players putting out high quality eve videos on youtube.

sounds awesome, i love this feature from TF2 and use it a lot, and there is so much more that you can do with it than with fraps or other normal video recorders, just cause you can edit the video and set camera positions after the fight

+1 for me! Finally I can start making combat videos without switching the camera everywhere, and risking my ships against a bunch of NPC's just so I can record it with fraps! Now I can do battle normally and worry about camera angles after I send their frozen bodies tumbling through the cosmos Twisted

What overwhelming support. Thanks guys, glad you want this as badly as I do.

Best part? CCP are just trying to work out the HOW.

What the hell is a PVR?
@Amaroq Dricaldari: It's a Personal Video Recorder. Sits between computer and monitor and records all input encoding on-the-fly to an internal hard drive so that the computer doesn't have to struggle and can focus on performance, then afterwards the director can review the footage and as it's already encoded just needs to go to the 'cutting room' and it's ready.

Definitely this.

fraps only uses a little amount of resources, you only need to have enough free HD space. If you can't run fraps at the same time as EVE you need to buy a new PC.
@Voxinian: I can Fraps fine. There are people who can't. And some are terrible at using it in a fight. Some fights look like the pilot is having an epileptic fit during filming. This way I don't get vertigo trying to enjoy a recorded fight. Big smile

I also really love idea and I think strongly supports CCPs desire to have the community help promote the game. This capability would go a long way towards empowering folks to create some great videos to put on YouTube. The thought of being able to render at much higher resolutions and command the camera in a more cinematic way gives me wood!

I like this idea a LOT. As an avid fan of the earlier BF Titles (BF2 and BF2142), BattleRecorder was a huge boon to various gaming related functions from competitive vid capture and analysis, to machinima, catching hackers and just generating highlight reel footage....

This would be great if implemented. I'd love to see it.

Caveat: As long as it didn't detract from the renewed focus and vigor towards FIS.

I'm right behind you

Yea, making vids with sick fast pans and zooms with some motion blur would be erotic to Eve Online's videophiles. YouTube will be swamped with stunning Eve Online videos to rival the Call Of Duty spam. Just IMAGINE the amount of people that will come play Eve Online if there were hundreds and hundreds of videos on YouTube or Vimeo. More fodder for the wars and 0.4 space. WANT just doesn't quite cut how much I NEED this to be added. DESPERATE is probably a better word.

I play BF2142 to relieve myself of needs to play DUST514. It's only half working. Kind of like digital methadone. Recording on the client is one of the most faultless ways of catching people botting and misbehaving in most games. Why not Eve Online? Every game that got a record feature ended up generating a scary huge community of die-hard directors. Why not Eve Online? We already have some of the most stunning videos without this software, imagine how much time would be saved for those who already make amazing vids? They'd become epic video creating machines. You'd run out of fights before you ran out of footage.

Seeing as we all learn from seeing it either being done, and then doing it, I can't think of a reason to NOT implement it. From catching cheaters, botters, 'sploiters, spammers, to spreading intel, teaching fleet tactics, demonstrating chaos in action first-hand, Eve Online needs it's own in-game record feature.

CCP? GIVE NAO.
