Would be nice if the timer only counted down whilst you were in game. I rarely can play undisturbed for more than 30 minutes at the most, so never have the time available to do missions. Same with the pause button in solo, would be nice if that actually did pause the game. I'm sure they will fix the latter but are there any plans regarding mission times?
Mission time limits
- Thread starter Krait_79
- Start date
On the other hand the current way allows to get rid of missions that you can't or don't want to do anymore without having to be online.
Also when missions may get more and more in-game event attached they should be in the same timeframe for all players.
-> For me for the missions it's ok like it is currently handled.
For e.g. paying a fine the online time may be more relevant to me, however I don't know how this is handled for the time being.

yes, it's multiplayer world and we must stop thinking about what's good for each of us as many things just don't work anymore 
ship storing fees will be depending on your online time and that's fine, but if there will be missions generated by background simulation i would expect those timings to be same for everyone and if you didn't make in time, well, it's my fault that i accepted that mission in the first place, also there will be many problems with short (like 2-10 hours long) events because of the time difference between continents then many players will just have no chance as they will be having sweet dreams

It would be pretty cool to have a mission hand-off system at stations, effectively putting the mission (and any associated cargo) on the mission billboard at the current station. No credit gained (or maybe a little credit, but a ding to your merchant reputation, otherwise this would be exploited quite a bit), but if someone else picked it up and delivered before expiration, you wouldn't be dinged the fee.
