Sorry, you've lost me. I'm a programmer myself, I don't think it should be so difficult to add a check in there but whatever.

The point is, yes you could fix this instance of the issue with one simple bit of programming. However, the rounding issue isn't limited to this instance. Therefore, there would be many programs that would need modifying to fix it across the board.

2. Cargo rewards jamming mission completion because ship too full.
Solution, nerf the rewards, or change them from commodites to materials. Since the rewards can be bought at stations, it shouldn't really affect gameplay that much.

Yeah, the cargo rewards are goofy. I tried to take a mission and couldn't because my hold was half full of mermaid manifolds and bear jerky. Where'd that junk come from? Materials would be WAY better. Then you could just gradually and naturally acquire the materials to upgrade your ship by doing missions.

It's called rounding. The actual time will be probably be 20 seconds or something but they only ever display whole minutes. You'll find this happening everywhere within the game, including the ranking percentages.

I think you are missing the point. The problem isn't that the new mission time is rounded down, rather that the new mission time is absurdly short.
I take a mission in an outpost, leave straight away and fly straight to the mission system. I don't muck around getting to the station , yet before I get there i get a mission update for 0 minutes. Even if that was rounded down from 59 seconds it's unachievable. So, no, it isn't a rounding problem in any way whatsoever.
The original mission had a 26 hour timer, but it updates to zero minutes within ten minutes of accepting the mission. Bug, plain and simple.

I'm not sure if something was changed today, but over the past few hours I've completed a handful of missions and I didn't get any issues. One was updated with a time limit and redirected to a new star port, which bummed me out as that's usually the bug people experience but it actually worked. A few others gave me updated rewards if I turned them in, both with a new and reasonable time limit of over an hour to complete. Maybe I was just really lucky today, because I also FINALLY found a Specialized Legacy Firmware!
