Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary):
Ability to toggle long range sight for queen. (like boiler)
Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole):
Queen is a leader and main tactician in the hive, being able to view battlefield and just area around her will ease management of hive, making of decisions and gathering information about enemy.
Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc):
It would work just like boiler's long range sight.
Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it):
It can't be hard to copy-paste boiler's ability of long range sight and optionnaly change some numbers. (But what do i know)
Maybe/optional:
Range of sight would become bigger with each upgrade; It would be an available ability only upon reaching maturity; It could have different name of ability (example: Toggle sense focus) and it could display different from boiler message (example: Queen starts to focus on her senses.) in order to make it feel like something different.
Non-important/commentary:
I thought of this because as a queen i was annoyed of coming closer to hosts to see what equipment they have and how many of them, plus it's somewhat dangerous. Asking boilers to answer that would be too time consuming and by the time they answer things can change. It would make sense if queen could be able to feel (see) hosts not too far from her just like Mother Queen is able to count amount of hosts from stars away.

Make a queen able to switch between aliens like the cameras. It should work like cameras on the borgs in SS13.

Re: Long range sight for queen.
The queen already has a lot of abilities. If anything is added, it should likely be remote viewing other xenomorphs, though we'll see. Denied for now.
