No daylight savings :)

I guess there is no reason for galactic time to have daylight savings, but I was quite confused this morning so thought I would share the warning - galactic standard time is no longer the same as uk time so don't play longer than you intended, like I just did

In space they forgot to put their clocks forward an hour

As title says. Space time is not on BST.

It stays as UTC all the time.

But I want longer days in space *pouts

Longer days? Daylight saving time is just a conspiracy of early risers against the night owls.

UTC - Coordinated Universal Time

That time doesn't change.
Universal is closer to the galaxy than British Summer Time

For non-UK players it was NEVER in their time-zone anyway .... just lucky us in the UK that for a while share UTC

You were confused that galactic time did not have the daylight saving? For which part of the galaxy you would want to save the (day)light then?

Isn't that obvious? Daylight savings time should be on the same side as the daylight side of the sun and not on the night time side of the sun!

You mean to say that space is not British? What kind of sacriligious talk is that? Even God himself is english and plays cricket in his spare time...

British Summer Time in the 34th Century?!

Since we put our clocks forward last weekend, my game time on station displays has been an hour behind.. has Summer Time been abandoned in the future then?!

Whiterose · Mar 30, 2015

yes, because after centuries everyone realised that Britain doesnt have a summer

Total accuracy! +1 rep from me, lol!

Ooh, cheeky!

(the game runs in UTC)

Hopefully yes. Daylight saving time is a stupid faff invented by officious busybodies worried about 'wasted' daylight. According to the BBC 68% of countries and 80% of the world's population don't bother with DST

You'd think playing a game that depicts a future where humanity has left the cradle of earth and spread amongst the stars, you might recognise not everyone is in the same time zone and using the shame DLS system and "one small island", in "some other hemisphere"
