I was just thinking today, and I came up with a good idea for camps when the expansion comes out. Of course, this hinges on if the devs release new planets with the expansion like I think they will.
Anyways, if the devs do include new planets, and one of them is Hoth, or an ice planet like Hoth, the weather should be bitterly cold. So cold, in fact, that people couldn't survive out in the wilderness for extended periods without shelter. My idea, then, is to have the Ranger camps provide that shelter.
This could be implemented to take effect during the night on the planet. At night, the temperature drops rapidly, and then health pools drain slowly. The only way to stop the drain and to regenerate is to take shelter in a camp or an outpost. This would put rangers in a very high demand to be part of hunting groups. A way to let people know would be to have a system message flash on-screen when night approaches, "The temperature is beginning to drop. Seek shelter or the cold may become fatal."
Thought I'd post my idea here to see what everyone else in the community thinks.

On a cold planet,the storm effect could be a blizzard, which acts likea sand storm and rain storm on the existing planets.
There is a proposal in the SotP for those climaticeffects to affect characters unless they are in a camp.

Ooooh, I can hear it now...
"THIS SUXXORS!!!!1!1!11! WhY d0 i take dmg n0w b 4 i get to my mishun?????/??//"
"I died while trying to get to my harvestors. Get rid of this needing a camp crap or I quit"
While Ireally, really like your idea (even now, more then ever, sense this pet/vehicle thing... they really got it comming 
) I don't know if it will fly. It might take som thinking. It's in the SotP so you might want to bring it up there.

I really like the idea although taking damage may be a little rough
ie: state effects
heavy rain: negatives on TN (its muddy and slippery)
sandstorm: blind or stun (ouch...my eyes)
blizzard: blind or stun(all i see is white)
maybe have a random knockdown involved when you slip or get blown over
this would make things a little more interesting
ie: state effects
heavy rain: negatives on TN (its muddy and slippery)
sandstorm: blind or stun (ouch...my eyes)
blizzard: blind or stun(all i see is white)

"ie: state effects"
That's a cool alternative. I'll add those into the proposal.
