Becoming an E-Sport

I disagree with this part from a spectating commentating standpoint. You don't want to limit the screen to having feet on the ground and slow down/limit the possible angles and shots. It'd be better to just use a more open camera in pretty much every situation (not sure how the ship-specific camera works right now, I believe it is just locked to rotate around the ship at a closer view). The ship view camera right now is pretty good, letting you get an easy free roam view of an entire ship would be nice but I think it would be too tedious to do during a match when you're commentating.

One thing I could see as being pretty rad, as a significantly advanced spectator feature, is a picture-in-picture player cam. If a ship is being gunned down, for instance, pop up a small window on the lower quadrant of each side with the player-perspective of attacking gunner and defending engineer.

That would be so difficult XD, I mean if you're talking in game implementation, even if it was the casters, they'd still need a studio lol.

If we did get to the point where being considered "esports" was realistic, tournaments would probably have a dedicated observer who controlled the broadcast's camera.
