Horizons Zoom

[Glimsong]

I am curious as to what people's opinions are on whether or not to put a zoom feature in the game. There are objects that cannot be seen as you approach them because they are too small and the safe drop out is very far way. Among these are neutron stars and pulsars.

Great idea. Not only would it be useful in cockpit, but I personally get as much fun using the classified camera mode and taking Hi-res shots as I do any other activity in the game. And as a pro photographer IRL I appreciate the need for alternative focal length to give variety to these images. However, in reality it's probably pretty far down FD's priority list.

Mr sulu zoom the scren.

I miss that in elite game, its very useful in elite dangerous life.

I've missed that feature several times. Often when scouting a planetary base for approaches.

Similar zoom feature like they have on Mechwarrior Online would fit the game pretty nicely IMHO:

A reasonable zoom (say one or two orders of magnitude) would not work for neutron stars, just saying.
