What about an idea, to allow switch view onto another pilot?
Eg, CEO wants to get not only ship class and location of his corp member, but to watch what that member involved in?

Excuse, if this topic already exists

I must say I wouldn't be a fan of "big brother is watching". It is bad enough some require API keys to see some or all of your accounts non personal information, but to see what you see too? No thank you.

On the flip side, if this was a feature, I would want the ability to turn that off or at least be able to know when I am being spied on.

I still vote no myself.

What on earth would this be useful for aside from spying on your corp mates, and why would you expect anyone to support letting their CEO spy on them at will??

De'Veldrin's Corollary (to Malcanis' Law): Any idea that seeks to limit the ability of a large nullsec bloc to do something in the name of allowing more small groups into sov null will inevitably make it that much harder for small groups to enter sov null.

Well, people always say 'We want to be able to show xxx what yyy & zzz are like, why can't we bring them in a newbie ship anymore'.
Well.... Now you can if this was allowed. And it would be no more server load than them flying their own ship.
Thats a pretty good reason. Obviously it would need some limits & some controls for the pilot.

If you want to show someone stuff, stick them in a t1 cruiser. At least that way they'll actually learn something.
