I don´t get all the fuzz about the weather. As someone said before if you look at the geoscope you can guess when there are wether effects in the mission and even when you are suprised by it you just need two items to negate the effects. Moonshine and the Canteens both are there right form the start.
I personally find it an additional challenge and a nice variation. It generated some nice hit/grab and run scenarios during tactical missions for me. Generally speaking if a mission includes ice or desert tiles i tend to not sprint out of my ship for all movement points in the first turn so i can get back in the ship 2nd turn to either get some additional coutermeasures or leg it all together.
Dioxide i totally understand you getting sick of the critizism you get for the weather effects as you invest a lot of time in your "child" especially as you are not getting paid for it. Just remember half of it is plain whining, because critizism would also point to a solution and not only state "weather bad, me incredible intelligent human beeing get debuff. AI not. Unfair" Hmm kind of looks lika a Donald Trump tweet isn´t it
