I wonder if there is a plan about adding some kind of cameras and monitors of different size for video feed ? For those who dont know, there is a game named "Stormworks Build And Rescue". It's a very nice complex vehicle building game. In the game there is the possibility to put cameras outside a submarine and link it to monitors inside so you're not directly exposed since there is no windows or else , but at the same time you can see and it's kinda balanced since the view you have is limited to the angle of view of the camera along with a lesser image quality than you would obviously get from looking directly with your eyes. You would certainly have a better view with a window and a normal cockpit, but you trade it for an okay view and an unexposed cockpit if implemented in Starbase as an exemple. Building Security systems inside big ships and stations could be a possibility and you could use it as a landing,reverse camera below or behind the ship etc... . Drones could also be a thing. There is just so many possibilities available along with creative ways to use and implement it,
Communications could be a microphone linked to a button that you press and talk to transmit a signal from an antenna to somewhere else with a receiver and a speaker to hear it along with com channels like a radio for private communications or else. "Stormworks Build And Rescue" is a good learnable exemple of interesting game mechanics. The video,radio communication ones are a good exemple and a great idea to implement. Not necessarily a copy pasted implementation, but something similar or close to it. Endos could have little hand radios to cummunicate with each others. Cameras could be linked to movements sensors and linked to alarms so that when it detect someone or something moving it activate an alarm. Players could be alerted that way and try to find the cause of the alarm and possibly kill the invader ?
Imagine people being able to buy Shoulder Cameras and stream their EndoLife on some kind of Endotube youtube wannabe system for the people to see from inside the game, i think that would be funny. Devs could designate someone as a endonews reporter who could tell news about what is happening inside the game, ressources shortage, war at station 1 or 2 etc... for people to see on monitors while walking on the station or sitting somewhere in front of a monitor like they are watching tv. This would give the possibility of an information and communication network inside the game. Watch out there is a rise of the number of pirates in a certain region and ask endos to be cautious which would be helpful in order for people to avoid them and force raiders/pirates to move frequently instead of camping one sector and it would put them at risk if not careful. This could be a way for the developers to communicate and interract in a way to prevent the game to break from players quitting due to raiders, the economy or a certain station going bankrupt. They could say "that station was hit hard" we ask every endo to give a hand in rebuilding it along with the economy like some kind of Endotarian help.
There is a lot of future possibilities that goes along with implementing video and com features. Cameras,monitors,screens,speakers,microphones,antennas,receivers and thats it. It's one of the best things that could be implemented that give a ton of possibilites and also give the opportunity to the players to be even more creative with their designs etc...
