And then again, Rank 29 LFs are a thing and they are not at all much worse than the camera ship, especially since they have thrusters.
It's a clever idea, but open for just as much abuse as the original situation. It will always end with reports, so why bother making it more complicated?
My idea is to stop abusing game exploits by known active players , people that are not active on the forums wont direct battle anyway , they are not connected to factions and therefore , they dont have means or reason to contact factions. And even if they are case where some camera shows up with player who never visited forum ,fleets can still tell him to get lost or be destroyed by same legit reason :
"we dont know you ,so to eliminate posibility of spying as , get lost or be destroyed" .
People who pretends to be somone else can be punished for pretending be somone else . If there is camera named "sombra" in some fight and it is not you , people will talk to sombra and figure out ,or ,you hear later that you have recording somthing you dind , and investigatiin will find imposter . If some fool wish to impersonate somone just to a abuse game exploit , it deserve full cheating consequences .
LV29 LF are also not imune to: "get lost , you bothering as" message , and be destroyed if still not obey . Fleets can have safety form spying , they just have to chase away anyone who is not invited .
For example ,in staged events battles , camera ships are anouced , any other are fre to tell to get lost .
I dont see any complications , everithing will be same , there is no new rules , there is no coding needed , just the fact that , in worse case , camera needs to spend 2 M for rename to match its forum name , and CUSTOM of fleets to tell every camera they see to properly indentify it self or leave . Cheating will still be cheating , just as before , and reports will still be reports ,just as before , except that now you can report somome who pretends to be you , under existing cheating category .
