Gameplay: Ideas on Day/Night, Night Vision and Certs

[Dov]

Since there will apparently be a bad-a night cycle -- I came up of how this could maximize fun in PS2, IM(humble)O

Since continents on earth are at different latitudes they have different lengths of day-light and night-time. This could be true of Auraxis (unless there's two suns, near moons, etc). Varying the amount of daytime on each continent can further each place's uniqueness.

In terms of seeing at night I think the quality of night vision could be linked to a cert tree. Everyone should get a basic night vision if wearing armor with a visor. Going up a cert tree could increase the night vision's field of view or allow for IR/thermo vision. (I imagine the best being a blend with night-vision and IR -- see Splinder Cell or modern military research).

Thanks for the platform for my thoughts.
