should clouds and city lights be stock in ksp

[RatchetinSpace]

Clouds, definately. More so I would love a full weather system; Wind, Rain, Storms, etc. Duna duststorms, the surface of eve covered by thick clouds, rain and storms on Laythe, massive Jool storms just like Jupiter

As for city lights...no way. They are so out of place when you go in for landing only to find that the brightly lit continent is really completely abandoned. I would like them if there were actual cities but I think that's pushing the developing capabilities of squad at the moment.

Clouds, yes.  City lights no, until there are proper cities for the lights to originate from.

That is true. Why would I fly around in atmosphere when I can putz around in space crash in different worlds?

When I need to get science from some faraway place, suborbital jumps are the fastest and easiest solution.

Atmospheric flight is so darn hard in KSP that I consider any crash crew can walk out of as a successful landing. Why is there no "hold altitude & bearing" so we could go for smoke and get a cup of coffee while in atmospheric flight?

 

Having an attitude control for long duration flights would certainly be nice.  I don't disagree with you there.  However, keep in mind, some of us just fly for the sake of it.  Not necessarily for science or any reason other than because it's fun for us.  Often we just fly around KSC and the nearby mountains.  I've used the city lights and it's just an immersion killer at that range.  I'd rather believe that the Kerbals live in underground caves than see bioluminescent grass that strangely looks like city roads.

That said there is no reason NOT to implement city lights as long as it has a way to turn it off.  As long as it wouldn't waste too much dev time anyway.  I can't image it would, at least not if they implement it as EVE does.  If they try to get too creative with it though, it may be viewed as a time and effort waste considering the number of people replying against them.

Well it all depends on the resources available to the computer you or any other person has so I think it should be a built in feature to the game.

[Joonatan1998]

Clouds -yes, if they have gameplaye effects, solar panels, at least. Maybe make them a difficulty option.

City Lights - No, without actual cities to avoid landing in, but adding those would be a huge amount of effort for relatively little gain.

No no no no no no no, i want to keep my preformance as high as possible. Yes, i do have mods that make things look better, but those dont change my preformance. But if there was an on/off option, yes please!
