Zoom targeting?

May 11, 2006 Alpha001 link
This post has 2 parts to it. Both of them have to do with zooming. Ok your out in empty space, when suddenly an enemy (or so you think) appears. Lets say this ship is kinda far away but theres nothing to block the targeter. so when you press B or whatever it doesnt target anything. I thougt the Devs could make it so that I zooming worked like a scope and you could target things that are far away. My other idea is that you could target stations to see what they sell and what missions you can start ect. I know what your thinking "alpha001 has the crappiest ideas so why should this one be any different." (for those who wern't thinking that, i'm sorry but lots of people do) Anyway but what if you need to know what a station sells REALLY FAST and your lazy like me. Then what do you do?! Well I hope you like my ideas. HAY this is my longest post so far GO ME!

Targeting is done through your radar system, which has a 3000m range. It's not inconceivable that some future version of Vendetta could extend the radar range, or allow "radar range gizmos", though.

It'd be cool if when you targeted someone 2k away, their ship would be blown up by 500% or w/e, in a little targeting box.
That way you could identify whether or not they're an enemy and what ship it is.
Get a little pre-meditated combat goin on.

I like Kix's suggestion "Soom to Fit" sorta

And what do lazy people do? They dock, that's what
