When you want to broadcast a mission back to the ship, you need a Licensed camera operator. It’s always good to provide proof that the mission went exactly as you described it. More importantly, it’s important to give the med bay a heads up when there are 6 bodies coming back to the ship in various states of bleeding.

Being a camera operator makes you non-combative, but gets you a free ride. When you register for a flight, if you have the Camera Operator License on your Grid, you will not be charged for your ride, but you will also not be permitted to bring weapons with you. If you participate in combat for any reason, you will be charged a flight fee. This includes administering medical aid during an active combat situation.

A primary benefit to being a camera operator is that if you stream your team’s actions back to the ship’s video feeds, you will be paid a stipend based on the type of mission the team went on. These stipends are to be determined on a per-Assembly basis
