I love the day night cycle , but it think Bungee missed a trick with the night time.
Imagine the sense of foreboding as you see the sun setting, knowing that the higher level Hive masters are going to be out in numbers, and that the darkness will cover the land making visibility limited without your ghost light.
Will you survive the night or succumb to the darkness....

I think that's why we have the hive on the moon. It's always night there and the lifeless, alabaster surface creates a 'too quiet' vibe. Imo...The hive are by far, the scariest of the alien races (that we know about). When those gates opened up on the moon... I did panic. I already thought it was all over and was quickly educated with the knowledge that I should never let my guard down in this game again. Lol I trust BUNGiE know what they are doing and suspect that they wouldn't want to turn every planet into a survival-horror at night. They will keep it mixed up and hopefully throw in some real rare public events to shock and scare over-confident players, like myself. :$
