Zoom in while flying

Precision weapons sometimes have huge range, 8km-24km but without a zoom feature they're pretty useless unless you have AI doing the shooting (and sometimes AI doesnt even cut it)

Yes, we need a sniper/zoom feature for ships. The current coding for the sniper rifle could be used, but needs to be modified because the cursor moves too fast while zoomed in.

I'm imagining a transparent viewport/camera block blinking into existance at various distances, which would both get your viewpoint closer to the target and slow down your turning rate.

Apparently the ability to "scope in" is on the to-do list. There has been no official comment but it is on the roadmap. I would consider this something that they thought of.
