Hi,

you cannot change the distance of view ("scope") for players. It's hardcoded for server and client also has a limited zoom size to ensure that no objects will pop-in while you're flying.

The "scope" distance of a space object such as a space station should be determined but its physics only (the bounding area of the object physics). However, we might have cheated a bit by hardcoding the "station radius" for this check (calculating the physics bounding area specifically to use for the player's scope detection was not really justified as all the stations were supposed to have the same size).
You can try modifying the <physics> definition of the space station to see whether it has any effect. The server restart is required.

Regards!
