[@shylarah]The goggles only working from a short-distance away would be kind of defeating the purpose though. Here's the way I see it working:

There's an unknown enemy ship that we need to capture. From a distance away, Rodion puts on the goggles and can see where its Hearth System is located, since he can see a vast pool of white ethereal energy collecting in a certain place within the bowels of the ship. So, the mission objective would be to make our way to that location, destroy the Hearth System engines, and all the enemy combatants on board freeze to death or something (assuming they don't have an aegis-summoner). Just an example. :p

 I'll wait for more info on how this is supposed to work from Drakey, but this is how I'm envisioning ATM.
