Add Day/Night & weather change for planets

I'm currently missing day/night changes on planet surfaces.
City lights of dense populated planets should be visible from space.
Furthermore, the weather on each planet should be dynamic (moving clouds i.e.).

This would put more "life" into the whole universe of ED.

The planets currently look a bit "sterile"...

City light were confirmed in the dev update forum thread. Coming with the Feb patch 1.1 in a few weeks. Also new gas giant cloud shaders to give swirling depth to those planets.
You should subscribe to the e-mail news letters they are a great source of official info!

Michael posted a comment about moving clouds (edit: on Earth) coming when they get around to planetary atmospheres. I had to stop and re-read that a couple times because that's a big deal for anyone who looked at a planet and said "I thought it would look nicer."


Here's to hoping it comes sooner rather than later, and thank you Michael and Frontier for continuing to think about these kids of details.
