Nope. Lighting 2.0 makes day/night cycles impossible (or at least far too difficult and costly to implement). So no, we will most likely never see it again.
Cryptic should figure out a work-around for this problem they created. If Risa had this dilemma they'd probably create some artificial means to cycle through a night(ish) time on Risa. Then again, Cryptic isn't known for their correcting issues if it gets pass a 3 month period unless there's a financial incentive.

Wonder if its possible to alternate day and night by instance. For example Even numbered instances are day and odd numbered instances are night.
The downside might be needed a second copy of the Risa map with the nighttime skybox and lighting. And putting in the code to say "This instance will be day, that instance will be night"...
Ok might be more complicated to impliment than its worth...
Yay! The annual return of the Risa Day/Night Cycle thread!*
Folks, you are in luck! This is now part of the FCT with full explanations as to why this cannot function at this point in time. Thanks for playing and see you on the beach!
*Same goes for Bajor.

lighting 2.0 somehow broke the concept of a light source that moves in a linear path
Losing faith in humanity, one person at a time.
Got better chances of getting a full Borg Collective faction that doesn't incite rage, though.

Agreed.
