turret zoom IN? - Ursus - 01-03-2012

I love the ability to zoom out, and am wondering if there is the ability to zoom IN on a target? Sometimes I need to look for something far away and having the ability to zoom in on my target object would be very helpful

No need for that many words. It's sniping.:)
Fights in space take place in more or less empty space. Sniper's dream. Balance, you know.

uh, yeah, zooming in on a target would make it easier to snipe, at least until they moved a few meters or made a turn, then they would be out of the targetting crosshairs and impossible to snipe

1. Tell that to people who play first-person shooters.
2. Depends on how the zoom is implemented.

there's no single-shot kills here, so FPS comparison isn't really appropriate

ships here are always moving, very hard to keep them in the crosshairs if you are zoomed in very close

it should be tested anyway, maybe it already has been dunno
