I think it would be a great idea. Good to mix things up. How about the obligatory snow level_ ;)

a map in tunels or something
It could open onto chambers of rock with stalagmites and mining equipment providing the cover. A change of scenery from the city-scape.

Solar powered mechs would be such a bad idea.

as long as there is some way to see then night fights are fun but if every thing but your HUD is pitch black then fall damage and collision damage would kil the coolness

I'd also like fog and steam as elements of the map. Both at night (in neon lit parts of the maps) would be awesome! Also a map in bright moon-light would be cool. Just keep your current art-style!

Yes! what ever you guys decide, please keep the art style!

Actually I'd prefer sunrises and twilights more than nights.. imagine Bazaar during a sunrise or a twilight.. that would be wonderful, isn't it_

Night games!  What if you had controllable lights on your mech as well_ (able to turn on or off)  Would make for some great ambushes.

Night time i understand,and voted yes my self,but what is the point of sunrises and twilights_ i mean night time adds certain advantages and disadvantages,the tactics you play by would have to be totally different.
But twilight and sunrises are just cosmetic peace,thus at it's core rather pointless to say the least. If they do agree to spend time on a feature by request,i'd rather see them do it with something that adds more than just Skyrim feel.

Not necessarily, Kronguard. Twilight and sunrises, besides its inherent wonderful ambience factor, should keep enough visibility to enjoy everything on the map. Would be an intermediate step in between night and day, meaning with that that light on the map would be scarce, thus not completely darkness (thing which I actually don't like much but not to the point to say nay). But not too much to be honest. :)

Well watching the Trailer shows that there are different times of day to play in but, there is only one shot of a sniper on a building in a low light setting possible dusk or dawn.  I'm wondering how people would feel about night combat or if it could be confirmed_

Personally the thought of night combat in those environments gives me the chills just think about it your visibility would be lower making escaping easier, guerrilla warfare tactics anyone_ Bullets and rockets would stand out against darkened environments and, it would be easier to spot muzzle flare from long range snipers and firefights.

Woudl love it.
I mean sniper shoudl get nightview, as they have most disadvantage.
But this would be so fun.

Radar distance_ Heck forget that.. diable radar completly..
The first one who makes some light will get gifts from all around flying to him xD.

I remember when we got "Firefall" to add nights.
It's was terrific ^^.

Should add night time maps. specialy made for this.
And some modes exclusive for night time maps.

Sounds like a lot of fun to me. Adding thermal or night vision to the mix would be fairly easy. Thermal for long range mechs and night vision for CQC mechs.

Thinking of mechs punching holes in eachother in the dark makes me giddy. With or without toggleable floodlights or nightvision.
