Turret Zoom for Snubs

[Binski]

Yes it was removed for balance reasons, but I see another way to have it without it being abused for pvpv. For every other ship I fly thats not a snub I usually fly while turret steering and zoomed out a bit. Would be nice to be able to do that with snubs too.

You make the grand mistake of assuming that just because something is added back for a certain purpose, it won't be used for the wrong purpose. If it's added back, it will still be abused. Even if you add restrictions, it will still provide advantages to snub combat that just don't need to exist. The turret zoom advantage is actually the reason why camera modifying cheats are one of the most common ones.

So you're saying that in a snub fight, you'd zoom out and try to fight while none of your weapons responded? My point is its not that imbalancing if you stop fighting to zoom out a bit to look around, zoom back in to be able to fight again (if you can), Thats literally the worst case scenario. Otherwise it could only be used to look around. Feel free to hit conn and test it out to prove that it would be detrimental.

Fly any freighter with no weapons, zoom out and see how it is. Thats what it would be like. Since most people don't bother with turret view as a snub except maybe for pics, abuse is difficult and not worth keeping it locked out instead of having a trigger lock.
