as the title says.
simply have an item called Binoculars that uses a modified F10 FPS screenshot rendered inside the game in a nice gui (that I can create).
the idea is you can use this item see if shot is clear. it should have a flat 10 TU use.
by modified i mean there is also a sky as gradient blue that gets darker/lighter depending on darkness level using same sprite darkening mechanism.
it should work kinda like the stats screen you use and a new screen shows up with a rendered FPS view inside a gui. there is a vertical dashed line right in the centre showing possible aim shots.

it's been brought up before, this is PURELY a debugging feature and is NOT designed for use in gameplay. it doesn't use the game palette and it's far too slow to use in real-time. you'd be looking at a half second (or more) pause every time you clicked it. sorry to say, but it's simply not feasible.
