Interesting idea. An alternative to going inside, (as there were no settlements on Hoth except the Rebel base, so what would Imps do?) would be camps.
The only problem is that people hunting (or whatever) would need to find a place to set up camp, if they had the skill, and then sit and do nothing until it was daylight again.
People would scream all the way to the emporers retreat.
If they did impliment it, it wouldn't last long.
I like it though. Maybe if there were many caves scattered around full of snowbeasts or something so that you could kill them while waiting for daylight it would work.
There would have to be enough so that you would have a chance of getting to one in a short peroid of time so you wouldn't die of cold if night took you unawares.
It would also be good if they had a clock display the time of day, maybe not the exact time, but morning, afternoon, whatever.
Also enclosed vehicles should be ok to travel in at night, but not mounts or open vehicles like swoops or speeders.
Well that's my 2cr.
EDIT
Just had another idea. Maybe make Hoth Rebel only, and maybe neutral. Or if you were on leave you could go there. And make another planet Imperial only.
You could have new theme parks on each and it would sort of fit into the time line as we don't know when the Rebel Base was established there. It's just that the Empire didn't find out about it (and attack it) until The Empire Strikes Back.
They could also add Degobah as Jedi only, and have that be the place to go to do the quests to get Jedi. Not with Yoda of course.
It would also be a good place to grind Jedi skills without the threat of BH. But you couldn't stay there all the time.
Maybe have missions where you have to go to populated areas so the BH have a chance at hunting you. If they had your mission they could receive an alert through their contacts when you were spotted.
Just some other ideas that will never be implimented lol.
