Setting the clock
The clock (upper rt hand side info tab) displays the time which is 1 hr behind my time (Germany)..Guessing that is based on where the server is? Is it even possible to re set to my actual time? Would be sort of nice.

The clock is set to the "0"-time (GMT/UTC). It can't be changed.

It's galactic time, timezones are irrelevant.

Ironically in game that clock is "wrong" if you go to earth. When it's night in europe IRL it's mid day and vice versa. I assume the federation or well the United world of america changed "0"-time to somewhere in america. There are a lot of strange inconsistencies tho. like one of the federation ads using Honour (the english version) instead of Honor.

There should be an option , like on every smart phone, computer or tablet, to set multiple clocks or timers. For whatever reason i want. Mebe I want to keep track of a time zone for a particular city on a particular planet, for 'reasons'.

Or mebe I don't want to alt-tab or check my phone to see what my local time is.

Such a little thing for a QoL Update. Seems a no brainer to me. How hard could it be to code? Game time or Local PC Time.

All cities, planets and star system are on the same time zone; the one you see in your ship.

You said that the clock in-game is one hour behind you so just look at the in-game clock and add 1 hour.

I can't see this as a high priority dev item for FD. But if you have voiceattack you can easily create a macro that reads your local time when you say something like, "what time is it on Earth?"

Or just open the steam overlay, it has the time on it

I figured anyone interested in doing this would probably be creative enough to customize it to their favorite Earth spot. ;)
