Or the game servers clock is wrong.

Yes, good point, I was a hour late to bed the other night much to my wifes displeasure because the Galactic clock was an hour adrift! It would be very useful if this could be configured to a users timezone, make it so FD!
Because British Time is the best time in the Galaxy and therefore the galactic standard
Its not British time its -1 GMT. Thats my point and being a British game as well, I thought it would be well you know, Greenwich and all that as standard
It is the actual real world time, just 1 hour out ! Also you cannot have a real world galactic time as there are no constants in space time over those distances due too the mass distortions. I suppose if I hung around near a black hole for a bit my clock would slow down enough for the game clock to catch up

That is what is used in game.
You are on GMT +1 (or BST).

You can't. It's "game time", not "local time". That's actually pretty common in some MMOs. It makes co-ordinating things between countries less nightmarish, actually

No my hanger shows -1 gmt not plus one. Unless Lancashire is on another time zone of its own

Nice one
Lancashire does have its own timezone, it's GMT - 80 years.
As has already been explained the game is on GMT (or UTC), Britain is on BST (GMT +1) and Lancashire is on 1935 time.

<sniggers> What timezone is Yorkshire on then?

hip hip hurrah for UTC
Seriously though, and in the US, I'm a dev and the thing that bugs me the most about systems is that dates stored even the same system don't sometimes conform to ONE time zone.. Server updates mirror the time zone they sit in, while client updates mirror their time zone.
If there's one gift that I could gift to all systems everywhere is uniformity when writing a DateTime - and I'm all for UTC being that point of reference!
Seriously people. Why is it such a big deal? The time in the game is the time in the Elite Dangerous galaxy. Why do any of you think it should have any correlation to your own personal real-world time? If you need the game to remind you to go to bed or go to work, you have bigger issues to resolve.
UTC + Pudding?
