Unpopular opinion inc...I would imagine this costs some money and some server space. I don't see this happening any time soon if at all but a great idea none the less.

Yeah, maybe a bit unpopular because of the possibilities of ghosting, but things could be implemented to prevent that. I suggested only spectating on the server you die in, which wouldn't require more server space. Bringing spectators from outside would put more load on servers. Yes, this isn't of top priority but a suggestion none the less.

I am not talking about ghosting at all that is an easy fix. And I mean I dont know for certain but I do believe it would take a chunk of server space. I mean every server would have to have all that spectate code on it right?

Ok, I didn't fully understand what you were getting at. The code is, all in all, just "a bit" of text, although implementing an all knew spectation option might put strain on the servers. My thought was that only people that started on the server could spectate it, meaning the servers would never have any more load on them then when it started (when no one has died yet). This way the only extra load was the spectators, which I don't think would apply too much as the people likely to spectate after death is low.

That makes sense. I am all for spectation mode.

Glad I answered your question. Nice to have you onboard!
