spy glass?
Great idea.
I mean, we are living in the future here!

Thank you so much for this.Added to the suggestion list
Also, please discuss "the suggestion list" openly with the community in the future.
This has been an issue of transparency since day one.
The forums mostly seem like a black hole that only players visit. Sure we hear "devs visit the forums" but there has normally been zero evidence outside a few posts by the community management team (and the few focused feedback forums we've had the pleasure to participate).
So +1,000 to this Zac! Please continue and expand on it.
This so much more than streaming gameplay 3 days a week, which takes up payroll and which hundreds of people do for FDEV for FREE.
Those are 1 power; even the engineer mod only gives you a tiny bit of magnification.
Somehow optics have managed to regress to pre-WWI levels in a thousand years.

Should have zoom built into the helmet really.
Yeah, Like having Scopes without magnification. Odd that
Would be nice if the Manticore Executioner and the proposed binoculars had built-in rangefinders, too.
I agree with the suggestion; that would be a (QOF) addition, to the game.
*As a side note; the A-10 pilots also use binoculars to locate small targets, when on CAS missions (and it works).
Anybody who's ever played the more recent Far Cry games will know how binoc's can provide useful gameplay enhancements.
In those games you could creep around in the jungle, scouting out enemy camps, and use your binoc's to locate and tag enemies so they appeared on your map.
Then you could sneak into the camp and know the position of all the enemies, so you could get in and out without raising the alarm... or massacre them in the most efficient possible manner.

Additional equipment to grind for: Shovels, and fire extinguishers.
I've always wished for magnification for my helmet.... 
Firstly, this is a total no brainer. It's hilarious that such a basic feature has to be asked for after release. Did no one on the dev team bring such an obvious thing up? Secondly, is the Cobra engine even capable of rendering far off stuff?
Zac has added it to the Suggestion List. Fingers crossed.
The new system for probability based location of biological and biological sites makes binoculars essential. If they add a range finder, I'd be ecstatic but I'd settle for 8x magnification with a built-in compass or some indication of bearing. I'm on a planet with 8(!) biological signs and cannot find more than six. Have spend hours on it and I just cannot find the two missing species. Most of my time has been spent haring around to blobs on the horizon.
