I'd like to post a correction here to the idea, as stated by Zat, that my OP was a joke. I was 100% serious. This would be great. I must say I like Zat's additions to the role as well. I don't know how CCP would program them in but it would add some depth and value to the role.
Edit: Note that I never said that the photographer dropsuits would be neutral. All major mercenary organizations have PR wings and DUST mercs will need them too. The side arm is a nessecity in this role since people will definitely be gunning for the PR men. Who doesn't want to put a dent in the enemy's propaganda machine after all. |

Imagine Joker in Full Metal Jacket as a basis. Or Hunter S. Thompson if you prefer (my personal preference given these two options and yes I know he was a political and cultural "gonzo" journalist but just imagine if he ever acted as a war correspondant). |

The photographer would not be totally unarmed. They could still capture points, kill etc... they just would have a little less power since their primary role would not be combat. The photographers would earn isk (from selling their feeds/images) which would also help recruit players to the corp. This is a much more advanced role and simply blasting other folks.
A photographer would also make a good gunner/LAV driver since they would be able to hop out and take pictuers as time permits. |

Kazeno,
We all know that there are a ton of technical and basic game play issues, and we definitely want those fixed first. We also want all the basic game features.
This is a request for down the line. No need to get angry about other people dreaming up features. |
