Spectate?

from Sins Forums
This might have been talked about before but I just found this file and got reminded of spectating on a game. Who knows, maybe this symbol is being used but I just forgot (and maybe there are symbols that aren't being used). Just wondering if it was possible later on...

Possible spectate option button (circled in red)?

IHMO, a "spectate" option would be great for this game! Spectating can greatly enhance the multiplayer aspect, and is (going to be) part of RTS games like the new C&C and starcraft2. So why not Sins? Think up some clever connection scheme, like making the ICO server host for spectators, and delay spectating by 5 mins to prevent cheating. I am sure there are a lot of possibilities to make this happen.

my 2 cents,

or just have the devs/mods ban cheaters? you can see what people are saying on the replays, and if they use msn or something to cheat, people will just notice and not play with them
