only abuse you could do in the past would be to ram people....
This makes the ONLY pvp related abuse it had, to dissapear... must be cool to shoot a movie while sliding through a battleship

That's true I suppose.
Could only scout with it, and not even in RP.

i already had something like that in my head some weeks ago... my idea was to make the cam ship not only without a hitbox... give it a cheater shield... or maybe Infinity hull... cause mines, Radiation and so on...
and one more idea i had:
make a ship for camera without texture... if you make movies and film with more than one camship you dont see the other ones...
like a cloak ship without hitbox...
and give it more speed... was thinkin' about a normal speed of 350 without cruise... so you can follow your "actors" better...
BUT MY BEST IDEA (i think):
make a "/restart camera"
give that restart a +90 or neutral for everything and everyone... to film in nomad space and so on

Well the thing is camera ships are, I belive, supposed to be admin approved only, and tend to have the neutral ID as well.
Remove it from anywere buyable ingame, make it admin given.
Give it massive hull HP, a BS shield, no hitbox at all, etc etc.
Also give it 350 m/s strafe speed, and set it's thruster to match cruise speed, have it's cruise (if possible w/o setting off cheat detection, IE: if it can be set to ignore approved ships) be faster than cruise for other ships as well, or at least have it's cruise be catchup speed for other ships.
That way, it can zoom around w/o taking damage or even being able to ram.
If it's texture were also set to a transparent layer, it'd literly be invisible, as logn as engine trains were also removed from it.
If thats done, please fly it into lolpirat swarms, and record their fail attempts at pirating it.

Camera ships are available on the starting planet.
They're freely available, do not require admin approval, and flying them with recruit or civilian ID is fine.
I'd support more hull for recording in heavy radiation areas, but it doesn't need to be obscene.

Im pretty sure I remember fairly recently the admins pulled one from someone, who didnt abuse it, because they didnt have the OK for it.
Could be wrong but pret sure Im rememberin rite.

I don't see why we couldn't give the camera ship infinite hull and shield. It exists outside of RP anyway, and I would imagine it to be annoying to die in the middle of a radiation field when filming - again, you're outside of RP.
Also, invisible texture supported. Although I would imagine it to be pretty weird for someone else to see the ship on your sensors, but not see any ship.

' Wrote:It's not allowed in RP at all anyway, who cares?I think you needed a Special Permission by the Admins to use the Ship inRP
' Wrote:Camera ships are available on the starting planet.Philadelphia Station to be correct.
The Ship is the only Ship that is out of Roleplay and if you want a Neutral ID for it you can quickly ask the Admins with an SRP though a Civilian ID does the same Job. Except that shooting at you is a sanctionable Rulebreak.
The Ship is already invisible, it only looks like a Starflea when you are docked. Flying you only have the Engine. Giving it some more Hull seems reasonable, taking away the Hitbox doesn't really sound good.
