I wonder how hard that would be to create. How accurate can a video game reflection be? Would they use a some kind of camera-tv system instead to replicate the effects of rear view mirrors?

Would rear view mirrors be OP?!?!?

You can create a mirror with an invisible camera displaying it on a screen (Mirror). Thats how most racing games do it. While more cinematic games have to rely on reflection mirroring etc.
But i find a rear mirror for a ship difficult for most or all ships to the point of not being necesarry.

So no, youve got crew that look around, let them be your flesh rear mirror.

Ya know in racing games they also have to render another screen in the mirror too? There is a reason rear view mirrors were crappy till probably about the PS2 era, and even then they were bad. It was extra work that the console just couldn't handle with pushing higher details on the car and screen in front.

Now it would be entirely possible with GOIO, however, it would be the same idea. Low end hardware would crap out. Granted you could cut the resolution of it down to ultra crappy but it is still extra resources drawing on screen. People wouldn't be happy with cloudy wire frames so you'd have to render part of the world too. Then there is the question of how much. Likely would need heavy fog to hide draw in so then the question is how much range would it be?

Doable? Likely yes. Something I'd like? Yes. But given how rough Unity is with performance at times, along with bugs...it might be more trouble than it is worth.

Spoiler: new class, mirror cleaner!

All classes now get one mirror cleaning spot.

Mirror cleaner has 3 mirror cleaning slots for: Cloth Wipe, Cilit Bang and Extra Glass Pieces

Artemis is now effective Vs. Guns, Engines, Hull and Mirrors

Buff hammers can now interact with mirrors

New achievement: "Smoke and Mirrors."

Squid's hull health is now increased to 1200 and acceleration is buffed again to compensate for it's lack of viability as a whole, so have mirror testers reported.

I heard that it is not a window cleaner class, but a Multisurface Cleaner class. First levels are called Sponge Monkeys. New mechanics also include fogging up spyglasses and rangefinders. The 'Wipe 100 Rangefinders' achievement has the testers in a rage, since everyone refuses to bring rangefinders.
