    Wow...

    Cryptic, you NEED to make this map have a day/night cycle.

    I would be in favor of a day/night cycle here. ^_^ Currently the map is in a sort of morning/evening twilight, but really it could be far enough north that it never gets brighter than that due to axial tilt, so we get a "twilight/night cycle" instead of a full brightness day/night cycle.

    Man I was so used to it on Risa, that I thought it did have one. I've been so used to it being daytime. But when I looked up and saw Aurora....wow. Good work devs.

    Thank you, OP, for sharing these with us. Like most people, I suppose I get so busy with the business of playing, I forget to look around at the environment. Now, thanks to you, I'll spend a little more time appreciating the Wonderland.

    Thanks to the Dev Team for the spiffy upgrade to the Wonderland environs. Much appreciated.

    The shot of the Silouette over looking the village is... Magical. It has a great feel, truly a winter wonderland.
    Beautiful work op.

    I'm certainly considering it. I just want to find the right magical angle.

    I never knew you could do this! This brings a whole new dimension to the game. Missions at night!

    That is beautiful. I would also like to say I would enjoy a day/night cycle in Q's Winter Wonderland, or perhaps the ability to ask Q to turn it off/on like the Tribble guy at my starbase. Even if it would be client-side.

    Nerf is OP, plz nerf
    That's quite the paradox, how could you nerf nerf when the nerf is nerfed. But how would the nerf be nerfed when the nerf is nerfed? This allows the nerf not to be nerfed since the nerf is nerfed? But if the nerf isn't nerfed, it could still nerf nerfs. But as soon as the nerf is nerfed, the nerf power is lost. So paradoxally it the nerf nerf lost its nerf, while it's still nerfed, which cannot be because the nerf was unable to nerf.

    I call it, the Stoutes paradox.

    I am sure it minor programming changes to cycle the day/evening/night. You do it on Risa and Bajor. Would be nice if you do it New Romulus, Nimbus 3 and Earth.

    So can you play the WE like that and it not go against the rules? I saw smirk commented but didn't say you can't?

    Its just a change to your settings client side. Like changing your frame rate or how high world details is. Shouldn't be a problem.
