Time
From Elite Wiki
Oolite game time
The ship's clock is started at a defined value (PLAYER_SHIP_CLOCK_START) plus the current time of day. It is stored as a double precision number. PLAYER_SHIP_CLOCK_START is defined as 2084004 * 86400 86400 is the number of seconds in a day, so the clock itself stores seconds since a (presumably arbitrary) epoch. 2084004 is the number of days since this epoch. This means the epoch starts 5705 (Earth) years before Oolite starts. Winston
2084004 is 1st Jan 3015 So.. 0000000 is sometime around 2690BC 2690BC Standout moments:- Chinese begin silk manufacture. Egyptians construct the great pyramid of Cheops. Ibusaki volcano erupts in Japan creating enormous caldera (VEI 5). But I think I'll plump for the great Pyramid. Aegidian

- Useful MFDs shows the time in the more usual format, but starting from 21st March 3142 (to fit in with Selezen's timelines!). It can be tweaked.
