This simulation of a universe uses Universal Time because... well... the clue is in the name.

Is there a way to update game clock to reflect clocks going forward?
I've always wondered if there's a way as my clock is still an hour behind. Any way of changing it within the game or is that a set time on the server?
Did you try it? Nowadays, your PC will have severe trouble if you force it to run on non-UTC, mainly due to invalid security certificates.
I've done it before and most things don't care in the slightest. Some stuff is actually strict but that was a very small set since things already handle time being inprecise and the world being +/- 12h the whole time. You can flick time sync back on once you're done. I usually only mess with the clock when trying to trigger timed content since timed puzzles in game work from your system clock which you can flick through rather than waiting for hours.
Is it perfect no does the game care. No so if it really bothers you. You can click a couple of times and fix the time. If you're tech smart you can script the changes.
Was gonna say this. Im ATC out of the military. All flying uses Zulu time (GMT/UTC) not just the military. Id say its a skill issue for the uninitiated
in my opinion we should just do away with local time. The world is far too connected now for local to be helpful. Even last week I almost missed my showing of Dandadan because my friend told me the wrong time. She lives an hour over.
Correct.
when my mate and me pick a time to meet up on line we just refer a time as GAME TIME. cant realy go wrong.
Imagine the flood of salt posts when suddenly there isn't a universal game time anymore and every player can adjust the clock to their own preference and then constantly mess up their in-game meetings. Universal time, game time, call it what you want - it's not exactly rocket science to deal with.
What really annoys me is that the message window actually shows local time instead of game time, which is very confusing when you don't live in UTC land. Now that's something I'd like to see to be changed or at least adjustable.
It should be in UTC like the rest of the game so it makes sense with other activities.
To satisfy everybody maybe this could be added to the cockpit UI.
One standard clock and 3 configurable clocks.

looks good if nothing else lol.
You're not thinking it through. Needs to be a cockpit decoration.
I think meta's got it.
In one of my systems, you'll need FOUR sundials and you'll have to take an average or something... because there are four suns.
Since a simple "cockpit decoration" costs the equivalent of £5 (ish) - how much would an animated clock "bobblethingie" cost? LOL
