Watch Battle Feature

[Anastas]

Should add an option to watch battle.. sat outside many 1v1s with the box up waiting for one to become 0.. would be nice to have a look inside and cheer and jeer as appropriate..

In a world where Portalus keeps talking about a lack of bandwidth, I doubt this will even be considered.

I like this idea +5

On the one hand I'd say yes definitely fun to watch others fight, but on the other hand I think it might give a strategic advantage to the gankers/other pvpers camping around the battle. Not only seeing your playing style, but also seeing when you get out. Seeing when someone gets out is possible, but this feature would make it way easier to anticipate. But also, what if you are watching two guys fight, but your ship is still on the OS, it would make you a very easy ganking target I think.

Maybe a compromise is increase the spawn to port timer when you get sunk. This way people who were actually in the battle can stay in longer and watch the fight. I am always bummed when I get sunk in 6v6 and get spawned to port after 3 min or so. I always wanna keep watching then.
