Another idea! Woooh.
This one is mostly self explanatory. Add natural disasters to ED!
Horizons based ideas though, no point speculating on other planets yet. And everyone mentions supernovas and things. Lol
Starting with probably the easiest, and least harmful.
Earthquakes
These, on uninhabited world's are mostly harmless, all that could happen is your SRV rolls over. Lol
However, when an earthquake happens, you can be notified, and you'll feel the tremors, rocks can roll about or fall over. You could also get EM interference that meses up your radar and HUD alittle.
And particularly on low G rocky worlds, dust can rise up for a while, kinda like Ariel.
On ice world's, guisers could spring up, and do some damage, or throw you in the air. Lol
I like the idea of cracks forming, but I don't think the engine could handle it...
Meteor Showers
On airless world's, meteor showers that touch down would be extremely common.
I'm not talking Armageddon style asteroids, as that's alittle hard to implement, but would be fun. But again, I doubt the engine could handle terrain deformation yet.
But small clusters of meteors. Your computer could warn you of the event, if you're close by.
They could splash down all around you, causing damage from direct hits, but mostly just making a mess and kicking up dust again.
Both these ideas would add an extra element of life to the universe, and could be quite common, but not so much it's annoying.
What are your thoughts?
What other natural disasters could we have in the current state of the game?
