#Add hurricanes and special weather hunting jobs during hurricanes

How it would work:
We already have storms and weather hunting jobs during storms right? I was thinking that hurricanes and weather hunting jobs during hurricanes would be a nice feature to add to the game. They would work like normal storms, only with much higher wind speeds and a much rarer chance of spawning. I was also thinking that there could be different categories of hurricanes.

Storm severity and spawn chance:
They would range from Category 1 to 5, with Cat 5 having the lowest chance of spawning. Remember, even a Cat 1 hurricane would have a low spawn chance ( probably 1-5%). Weather hunting jobs to hurricanes would start at blue rarity and pay more than normal weather hunting missions. The rarity of hurricane jobs would also depend on the strength of the hurricane. Cat 1-2 jobs would be blue rarity, Cat 2-3 would be orange rarity, and Cat 5 would be red rarity. They would have different wind speeds as well. Cat 1 would have wind speeds of 85-109 kts, Cat 2 109-127 kts, Cat 3 127-148 kts, Cat 4 148-179 kts, and Cat 5 179+ kts.

Pros

  • It would work just like a normal storm, only with higher wind speeds, so I don't think it will be too difficult to code
  • Rare spawn chance, so it won't affect the economy that much

Cons

  • Anyone flying a slow plane during a hurricane is in for a rough ride
    -Blimps would be unable to fly in a hurricane
    -Travel times will be negatively affected

actually being rewarded by how high winds are would be pretty peak
