We're gonna be responsible for the wholesale slaughter of innocent space-faring creatures each and every time we blow up!!
This idea was already rejected with reasons given in a recent livestream.

Honest I suspect this is a case of them joining us by their free will rather then UFP subjugating a known sentient species because they've not filled their hypocrisy quota yet.
I've been wanting more swimwear for males for years. Females can basically wear neon colored dental floss (pretty much anywhere in the galaxy it seems), but the best the guys get is shiny diapers. But hurray, we get more baseball stuff, again, instead. Maybe we'll get lucky next year.
That complaint aside, the updates to Risa look amazing. The improvements to the lighting and vegetation are stunning.

Is that video available on YouTube or Twitch? Because I'd genuinely like to hear what they had to say on the matter.
It's not currently on YouTube. It should be available on Twitch, but I know it's definitely on the Facebook page.

According to a recent Ten Forward Weekly (Preview of Risa, available on Facebook), Scot Boyd indicated that he could do just that. Around the 24 minute mark, he says setting the time of day for the map is relatively easy, and he's willing to give a night version a chance, though he'd have to re-visit lighting so we're not surfing in the dark.

No, that's not what he said he could do. He said that he could change the art for the map to represent a single time of day (for example, night time), but that they would not be doing multiple maps to represent different times of day that players could choose from to visit. That explanation is given around the 26 minute mark.

His concern about the race events at night aside, I, for one, would appreciate seeing a night-time Risa, even if it's an off-season mini-event or just a weekend. I doubt they'd do all that work for just a weekend, but it might be a good way to test it with players before committing the summer event to it.
It really underscores, though, the loss of the ability to have day/night cycles. I know it's long gone, and I'm not complaining, just lamenting.
Anyway, back to Risa. I've got some daytime fireworks to catch.
[Edited for clarity]
The only thing I can think of are accolades, and some are mutually exclusive, unless they have been altered. One I know of is you have to find pavel at night, and another you have to ask to work out with the klingon in the morning. Unless those time constraints are removed, you cannot do both in the same year.
The time itself cycles as always, it is just the sun never moves so you cannot see it. Currently the only way to tell if it is night is to look for the fires to see if they are lit, if so, it is night no matter what it looks like, if not then it is day.
That seems to happen with just about every event, not just Risa. I was there about two hours from its scheduled shutdown selling birds for marks so it couldn't have ended way early (there have been some that ended at least five or six hours early when there is maintenance scheduled for the last day for instance). I have learned the hard way that you cannot depend on the last day of anything longer than weekend events.
If maintenance is over and servers are back online, yet there's still 2 hour of the event scheduled - it's almost always vanished!
