Fog Goggles! Get them Now!
The Sky Wolf:
I made that post before I made my omni-class item thread, it was this thread that partially inspired me to make my thread after noticing a demand for that type of thing, and I hardly consider saying something twice to be spamming. 3rd times the charm.
Spareblend:
I would really want a pair of dat goggles
Sylas Firehammer:
It's an interesting idea, but I think it would just negate the whole need for clouds. Competitive ships could always just have one person bring a pair of goggles to either increase or counter a stealth aspect. Sacrificing a Spyglass on board is really not a huge deal. But the implementation of fog goggles would definitely negate the entire effect that clouds have.
Thomas:
In theory it would only work on the cloud you're in. Normally you can't see anything while inside a cloud, although as you near the edge, enemies can actually see you through it. Then if they pop a flare into it, you still can't see through the cloud (although you can see inside of it); again making it easier to attack from the outside of the cloud.
The goggles would address that by making it easier to attack from within the cloud. Letting you see through it, so you can attack outward. If you're outside the cloud and put the goggles on, you'd just see cloud, as it only helps you look through the cloud you're currently in. You still have to worry about drifting too far towards the edge of the cloud, and flares of course.
Essentially it makes improves the stealth gameplay, making it easier to sneak up on enemies instead of flying blind and hoping they're at the other end. And it'd still be easily countered by the flare gun, or even just hiding in a different cloud.

That's interesting in this case! If it is possible to have it like you said that has a cool possibility. However I still worry that every ship will be bringing some goggles and it would just be a way so that everyone can find a way to see outside of the clouds.
