Exploration : binoculars?

[Dox Paradox]

Why couldn't on-foot commanders use binoculars when exploring on-foot?

Use weapon with zoom mod. Or even beter - camera drone can zoom x4

"Ho look there! Haaa if only I had my Supratech binoculars!"

Yeah, work-arounds. Would be better with a dedicated item with its own capabilities =)

I tested 4x zoom in the HIP 22460, it worked quite well but I'm missing binoculars, it would be nice if it was built into the visor where the camera sits next to the flashlight (torch).

We could maybe have high-tech binoks with the capability to designate a point, memorize coordinates, so we can find headings toward this point later =)

Ye, that's called "Canon plugin for EDMC"

Qué hunting around Pioneer Supplies for a scope with a gun attached to it...

 

[Hooplah]

We can purchase suits and weapons at Pioneer Supplies. Why not helmets with
features like zoom binoculars, range finders and maybe an infra-red mode?

A binocular with zoom and a rangefinder integrated will be perfect, something that tell us the distance of the pointed object.

 

[Florizel]

It would be appreciated, if on helmet will be possible to have some folded construction to make opportunity to see far away. Maybe like some old field periscope.

This thread has made me regret not buying that P15 G3 with Scope.

 

[Cmdr Alzaroc]

I agree that binoculars would be a great edition.

next time in the 40th century i carry binoculars with me....definetly

in the meantime, you can use what everyone else is using - an executioner with scope
not like it does much good anyway - sometimes the game wont render exobiology features unless they're really close, however it may work for non-exobiology stuff

I noticed last night that meteorites now don't pop into view until they are 100m away, that is just stupid - big black meso sitting on a white ice-sheet used to be visible for a k at least.

Thanks for the tip

Well, there is Night Vision...

 

[CardioTherapy]

Because there is on on-foot exploration in the game and in general the exploration gameplay is pretty basic, repeatable and generic .

This isn't very inclusive of disabled commanders. I have an eye patch, I'd need a spyglass
