cinematics

[Betelgeuse]

What would be cool would be to be able to make cinematics ingame. A couple functions are needed first.

disable player control (otherwise it wouldn't be a cinematic)
pause and ignore ship (don't want ships not in the cinematic being shot at or shooting, paused ships don't use fuel)
fire weapon (being able to fire a given weapon even if not equiped, this would also be useful in making robotic firing devices too)
camera move (not sure how easy it would be to do this, could fake it)
disable interface (so you don't have to look at the gauges during the cinematic)
play sound

anything else that anyone else can think of?

You got this idea from a bit of what i said, no? Yes..i would love it! It would give a whole lot more story to the game.
