I think it would be cool if St. Elmo's Fire was added to the game. "St. Elmo's fire (also St. Elmo's light) is a weather phenomenon in which luminous plasma is created by a corona discharge from a sharp or pointed object in a strong electric field in the atmosphere" "Physically, St. Elmo's fire is a bright blue or violet glow, appearing like fire in some circumstances" -Wikipedia Basically in lightning storms, the tips of the masts would glow, which produced a pretty cool effect. Pictures: I've never been in one, but I've heard about the sea storms in the game before, where you could hardly hit other ships. I think it would be interesting if in the open world, VERY rarely, there would be a sea storm where you couldn't see past waves, and if you could there would be low visibility anyways from the rain. Again, make this rare so that it is not annoying, however having it show up on occasion would add another element to the game, rather than look at map, point ship, travel from Point A to Point B - it would especially make things interesting if there were some ops going on against other nations. St. Elmo's Fire could come into this by having the tips of the masts light up, either before or during the storm. It would be useful if the masts lit up before a heavy storm hit, but it would be really cool, considering you would know by seeing it that a sea storm is developing and you should take shelter or something. Or, it could just be added once the storm/lightning starts up.
