I propose some interesting ideas for making the sky more enjoyable

[progamer 14]

I would like for Arma 3 to include the ability to add things like the aura borealis, meteor showers, rainbows, comets, lunar and solar eclipses that can affect light level and make a mission that much more awesome!

Since some effects like the aura borealis are cause by the sun, things like solar flares could be added which have no visual indication but can knock out communication satellights indefinitely or temporarily and mess with electronics on earth depending on intensity.

More in depth on the solar and lunar eclipses adding to the gameplay:

We could also use a simplified way to set the latitude and longitude of Stratis and Atlis for mission makers so that the sun, moon, and stars location in the sky can be easily changed.

I felt that these 3 were separate enough to have there own feedback post but they can be merged if needed.

Discuss in this forum post about implementation and use of these ideas. Things like this are obviously not game breaking if there not implemented but it would be nice to have at your disposal in missions.

Just imagine that a solar eclipse occurs while your in a firefight. Suddenly its dark as night! Then a few minutes later it gets light out again.

On a unrelated note, non lethal weapons should be added because realistically speaking you sometimes need to take people alive or subdue multiple people for internation or to kidnap them.

These are some pretty cool ideas, however I think they have higher priorities right now, these would be more of a 'Would' feature. but this is something that might be added sometime after the game's release.

Just trying to make my favourite game, that much better! :)

I would probably say the solar eclipse ticket would be higher priority than my other tickets due to the fact it affects gameplay in a unique way but stays true to real life. By voting for these now, the devs can see people like them and then pencil them in for later in development or after release.

Something that is a pretty high priority considering we are very close to the beta would be this ticket here: http://feedback.arma3.com/view.php?id=8468 for more realistic landings and crashes into water. You should check it out! :)
