Kerbal Photography Objectives

[Fermentation]

I think that Kerbal camera parts and EVA items would a cool addition to the game.

How are the the Kerbals at home going to see the great moments in Kerbal space exploration without a live video broadcast!?

I think that you should be able to attach TV cameras to your ships and allow Kerbals to carry cameras in their inventory.     This would open up a lot of additional career and science objectives and bonuses.   Or course, the captured media would be saved for browsing later in a "moments in history" page.

-- Capture your first landing or first steps on the surface
-- Capture that unusual point of interest
-- Capture an iconic picture of Kerbin rising from the Mun
-- Capture high resolution photos of an asteroid passing through the system or of your probe colliding with the object. 
-- Capture a selfie during an EVA
-- Record a zoom call with some students
-- Get technical support from the engineers at home to help fix something that broke. 
-- View Kerbals doing Kerbal stuff inside the space ship. The art guys might have some fun generating some animated video streams. 
     Think Commander Chris Hadfield singing Space Oddity!

If a reputation system is created in KSP2,  having a camera to capture the action could provide a boost to your reputation score when completing an objective. 
In multiplayer, you could even take a peek at Kerbal video streams from other players.

From a gameplay reputation perspective, photos and films etc can be 'assumed' to be taken and broadcast without the game actually  needing to save and fill up memory storing them.

I can see some merit and interest in being able to see other players PoV in multiplayer, perhaps in a small on screen 'window'.

If you want images and videos for your  own personal records etc. then it's not hard to do.  In fact KSP1 had at least one 'auto screenshot' mod that I know of so I expect something similar will appear for KSP2 too.

This makes me think of a more extreme version of people doing cockpit-only landings...doing a probe core Mars lander that is limited to the views on camera modules you put on...you can cycle through them, but at the end of the day you only have your instrumentation and a few camera views to make your landing. Hard mode!
