Nope, actually u were wrong.

The first chat is supposed to happen from 19:00-19:30 GMT (friday evening),
while the second one wille be from 02:00-03:00 GMT (saturday morning)

...that can vary depending on the timezone you live in.
Western European Standard Time (WET) adds nothing
Western European Summer Time (WEST) adds 1 hour
Central European Standard Time (CET) adds 1 hour
Central European Summer Time (CEST) adds 2 hours
etc...

So for the Paris timezone i think it'll be 21:00-21:30 (friday night) and 04:00-05:00 (saturday morning). Given Paris is CEST as well, which i think it is.

For my country, Hungary, it is the CEST that we use at the moment, so for me, the above schedule is correct.

-- Is there anyone else, who could confirm what i wrote? I'm starting to get confused myself as well.

As of right now, 11:00 PST is actually 18:00 GMT, as GMT does not adjust for daylight savings time...

Yay, another Version...

lol..

I think you are referring to Pacific Daylight Time (PDT), which is one hour earlier than Pacific Standard Time (PST)

As of right now, 11:00PST is actually 19:00 GMT, as GMT does not adjust for daylight savings time, neither does PST. The Daylight saving Version is called PDT and is GMT-7 instead of GMT-8 (which would be PST)

So Please someone tell us when that chat is supposed to happen.

at 11:00 PST or at 11:00 PDT?!?

I think we've got some nice timezone confusion for ourselves here.

The 64k $ question:
- Which one is the right answer?

This post is a time check based on the date time posted by the forum for this message.. will edit the projections once this is posted. brb..

This post was made at 2:00pm my time which is the time Aaron will join the chat on friday for the first session. and 7 hours later for the second session. I'll let you all do the math.

P.S. I'm going to try and lurk in the chat room as much as possible today. If you want to syncronize your time, just drop in and I'll do my best to set you straight. (you tell me your time, I'll tell you maine and I'll do the math for you)

Cheers!

Its 18:00 GMT now, so if you made that post 14:00 local time, you are GMT-4...
...which is either
Eastern Daylight Time (EDT)
or
Atlantic Standard Time (AST)

based on that the revised GMT schedule would look like:
18.00-18.30 GMT (friday)
and
01.00-02.00 GMT (saturday)

i think...

A link for GMT. That should explain all.

Can someone tell me what I need to do too get to the chat session? I downloaded Trillian and got that setup. But is there anything else I need to do. Not in the mood to problem solve today. Thanks

Another question.

Will there be some kind of history for communication between empires.

Also what will the treaty system in SEV be like ( will there be more options such as the SJ school of trading... We can enter a trade agreement... 1 % organic for 2 % Rad... etc... )

Will there be more flexablity in what we can choose in our relationships with other empires... Such as what they see, intel , research sharing and trading....

Do I get my sortable/selectable reports

Will there be a better map generating tool ( if so suggestion,,, allow for a statistical overview )

Will there be the ability to set up seneraos or generate full maps that are at later stages in the game ?


And Last but not least.

What do you think will be hard coded and not available for modding
