  • You have to use the video station to upgrade the videos. Click the video station, then access its inventory to edit videos, add transitions and effects, and release your productions

    Upgrade the drones with the handiness skill, something to do with HD quality.
  • Drones never get as good of a picture as the video station does.
  • Are your main game Options for videos etc., on high enough? That might affect it. I never use them so put them on low.
  • It's weird that even with the HD Camera upgrade on the most expensive drone, your Videos never seem to start out above Poor quality.
    No upgrade = Poor
    After upgrade = Poor

    It should at least bump it up to Fair, before editing it and adding effects at the video station.

    Maybe there's intermediate steps in the same quality level.
    Like 0~1 quality = Poor
    Without the camera upgrade you start at 0.0, but with the camera upgrade you start out at 0.5, which would still be Poor, but closer to Fair than without?

    Still, weird.
  • Same happened to me. First time trying it too. Got rid of it, not a fan of poor quality stuff :D

    I just "live stream" with the Drone now B)

    Yes, I've noticed this. The drone upgrade is supposed to increase quality, but it just doesn't seem to help. I wonder is it working as intended, or is it a bug.
