Timelines mission Escape from faulty logic

[slyfox991]

i seem to be stumped on this mission how do i delay the explosion?

I have no idea. Posted in the spoilers section, but got shadow-banned("being reviewed by automated system"). I suspect it is somehow related to "engineer score", but I was unable to do anything about it.

There are two related missions in this terminal that unlock when you progress the story a bit. Completing them makes this one easier. It's a novel kind of design, which is why it's in this terminal an not in the main path.

When you "finish" the Escape From Faulty Logic mission the first time with 0 stars,
additional missions show up at the Nodus mission select. These missions let you play other characters in the very same scenario, letting you alter fate in the main mission. The better you do in these alternate missions, the longer time you have in the main mission.
Personally I find the idea rather awesome. It's just that doing (aka failing) the first mission the first time should give you a hint that you should re-check your missions menu.

I see. Thanks for the help. Would it be possible to improve it in the next patch? Like letting sir Harper note it difficulty and suggesting to try later after more of a mystery will become apparent. I lost so much time trying to figure it out. Really burned me and I was enjoying Timelines a lot before that. And NO AM NOT starting a egosoft forum post with a save.

I already made such a suggestion on their forums. :)

Found that haven and the mission just now, but too exhausted already to experiment. Time to sleep. Perhaps:
- fix dataleaks or something like that
- subordinate equipped with !!! 5 !!! Ion atomizers. Must be something...
- worth checking engineering floor, interact with monitors or something. Timer starts only when ship takes off.

I was able to reach destination station in time. But that seems to change nothing. So these delaying not optional, but mandatory to even complete the mission.

EDIT: oh, thanks to other participants. Not need to lose time for nothing =)

Hahahaha this is no good for the persistent perfectionists in the player base... ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ I ran it 12 times and tried every angle I could think of. I guess it's a smart mechanic, although there is literally 0 hint in all the other graphs about redo missions after failed attempts etc...
