Optical Zoom to get better aim on exposed thargoid hearts

An optical Zoom Option in the HUD would help to see distant things even better. I.g. an exposed thargoid heart wich often is a small target.
Also looking closely to other tiny stuff like containers or sensors would be more enjoiable - even without ramming the object of interest.
Zomming for example is a very helpful and enjoyable feature in the X Games by egosoft.

I (personally) would be against this.

Allowing it for Thargoid combat would mean allowing it for combat with standard ships too, presumably?

I can't speak for FDev, but I understand their design approach to the flight model was to promote close-quarter combat. If you combine a zoom function with long-range weapon mods, you've got yourself a sniper ship. And that, to me, would be not-fun.

If the zoom function could be restricted to Analysis mode only, then I'd be OK with it. But then I'd also like to hear a good use-case for developing it.
