I am faced with a dilemma. A martyr is heading between two of my outposts with very close proximity. The two outposts are so close that the martyr leaves range of putpost 1 at 17.6h and enters range of the other at 18.0. Meaning that I should have a range of 2 ticks where I can safely blow it up without harming any of my outposts.
I have launched a sub to intercept it between the two outposts however, this is where the bug comes in. I will launch it and it will say it won't blow up. But once the martyr's 20 minutes is gone and it moves a tick forward in the game, it shows that my farthest base will explode. Seeing this I recalculate my sub to intercept it earlier. Now, in real time, once the martyr's position moves 1 more tick forward, it shows my closest base getting blow up. There is obviously a point in between that allows the martyr to blow up without destroying my outposts but the game's update ticks are making it change on me based on when I check the game (in the middle half of a tick(1st 10 minutes) = farthes base exploding) and (near end of move tick, my closest base is show to explode).
What is going on with the inconsistency??
HUGE EDIT!
When clicking the time wheel forward one tick, you can see the amount of time left before the next tick occurs. BUT. If you launch a sub with 30 seconds left in the tick, it won't launch until it's 10 minutes of waiting have occurred. This means it technically is launched at 10:30m later in the time wheel. NOT at 10:00. It will wait until the THIRD TICK to be sent (as it technically hasn't launched when the second tick has been updated, it still has 30 seconds to launch.) HERE LIES THE DISCREPENCY. YOU CAN ONLY SEE SUBS UPDATE AT 10 MIN INTERVALS BUT THEY ARE TRULY UPDATED REAL-TIME.
ALSO NOTE: when scrolling through the time when one tick at a time, each tick is 10 minutes, but when you get the time wheel into the "hours" range, it will look like this:
13.3h, 13.5h, 13.7h, 13.8h
notice that the time wheel in hours does not go up by a constant decimal. If you wait 5 minutes, the time wheel, instead, will read:
13.4h, 13.6h, 13.8h, 13.9h
As you can see. At first, 13.4h and 13.6h NEVER EXISTED in the original ticks but now it is telling you you will launch at 13.4 or 13.6 hours.
How do I know which one will actually occur?!?!?!
HELP MEH.
