Mine blown up exactly as player wins?

Sat Nov 14, 2015 5:21 pm

Attached are 3 pics describing the scenario. I have sent a helmsman/martyr at an enemy's mine, and it is predicted to hit his mine at the same time he gets his last kg of Neptunium. Will he still win, or will he take the 20% hit?
EDIT: The pic uploader uploaded them in reverse order, so start from the last pic.

PART 3, the martyr arrives, the game says yourfave has won. Does that mean the timemachine knows my martyr will not blow up, or is it simply because it is outside my sonar range, and I could still blow his mine up?

PART 2, notice it says he will win in 0.0 hours, but does not state that he won

oddly enough times in hours are rounded down.

So .2 hours is anything less than 18m.

0.0h is less than 6m

The timing of that is crazy, but wouldn't he just send a single driller and blow up your martyr?

You don't lose 20% Np when your mine is destroyed, only when it's taken by someone else, so I don't think this can stop your opponent from winning regardless of where and when the Martyr explodes.
