What is that new "clock" icon in 2.3?

In the livestream there's a new "clock" icon on the Comms panel (upper left, 4th icon):

Any word what it is? Something for mission timers?

(Edit: post isn't about ship names; I just linked this screenshot from another thread because it shows the new icon.)

They haven't shown either things off yet. Although be cautiously aware that "Placeholder Ship Name" could be just be "Dolphin". Ship naming is NOT confirmed. I repeat ship naming is NOT confirmed.

It could be any of a number of things: Time left until your transported ship arrives, time left until your missions expire, cumulative time spent waiting for loading screens to finish, etc. Right now, it's all speculation and hope. Perhaps FD will show it off in Thursday's live stream on YouTube.

It's the waiting lobby for joining Multicrew (and hopefully CQC).

I hope that it's not. I would expect the lobby to be a bit bigger than that. I also don't want the multicrew stuff right in my face, much prefer it in the functions area or as a station service personally.

It's very likely to be for multi-crew though, considering FD were saying we could drop in/out of multi-crew wherever we are regardless of distance or location, whether we're in ship or station. It's probably a list of people "Looking for Multi-Crew" that we can then click on and "Add to Crew", or something. It's not really all that in your face, to be honest, it's just another icon in your comms panel. Probably no different from your list of contacts.

We'll find out Thursday for definite though.

If megaships are traveling around, I wonder it it's a time until next jump list for them? That might make more sense as a galmap overlay though.

Just imagine if you were called to CQC as SDC (other griefers are available) were attacking you - "Combat Logger Alert" "report him!" "etc.."

I think it's almost certainly a direct comm link to the Devs personal mobile phones, the clock represents they are really interested in our ideas even in the middle of the night.

Rejoice, now any tiny problem or big idea can be instantly communicated to those that create our game.

Thanks FD, we know you are listening.

If you zoom in, it doesn't look like a clock. It looks more like an eye inside a circle...a camera perhaps...so maybe it's something to do with the new camera suite...but this is supposed to be the comms panel so what does that have to do with a camera...I'm just rambling now...

You already have Mission Timers in Contracts. It maybe our global times on Earth we set for comms to players.
