Does anyone know if 'dilly dallying' on the planet after accepting a mission lowers the remaining mission time?

I know that if you do a ship upgrade, time will pass, but...  I accepted a mission, re-fueled, traded some items and purchased some items, then left planet.  I THINK that the mission time was less (18 weeks remaining vs. 24 weeks <- or something like that).  I didn't know if this was the result of lack of sleep, or it this is part of the game clock (trading affects time in the game).

I'll play around with it more tonight, but had it on my list of 'unknown' behaviors....

I think it's going to come down to talents. If the Star Trader has some killer talents unique from Smuggler and Merchant, I can see it standing on its own. Shipbuilding/upgrading/trading talents? or perhaps a save talent that works for any mission related thing (Negotiate, Charisma, etc..)?

Just some thoughts.

Ugh, this is an even less significant bug.

Accepted a mission, the log shows it listed twice.  Jump out to space, checked my missions (to be sure that there was only one), exited back to space and it self-corrects.  Haven't seen this before, sure it doesn't happen every time.  I'll keep an eye on it, but for now, feel free to ignore 

fallen , I THINK I figured out what they are talking about (both Android + iOS posts)

When crew has gained enough experience to +1 Job, the brown bar will show at max (see CAPTAIN pic below, Level 5 brown bar at max), but I haven't upgraded the job yet.




When going to the detailed page, it will show in a blue bar that the crew has exceeded the Level 5 experience, and is halfway to Level 6.  After upgrading the Job (and in this case, the talent too), the summary page will reflect the BROWN EXPERIENCE bar that indeed, they are halfway to level 6.  It actually makes sense to me the way it is, that the bar will be at max to indicate that action must be taken (because you aren't getting the benefit of the higher level talents or job.  But also see their point, since the new ICON thingy is the visual indicator of needing to level.  Pics below, I hope this is what they are referring to 🙏   Maybe they can confirm.










EDIT: I suppose that the 3rd officer shows the upgrade ICON but a less than full brown bar (directly above) because she needs to upgrade a talent only? If so, it's a pretty neat system, just didn't actually spend anytime thinking about it...

I decided to get the largest Cargo Hold 3, and was given a warning that some cargo would be lost because it was smaller than my previous Cargo Hold 1.  Upgraded anyways, cargo was not lost.  Not a big bug, but picture below:

I usually avoid card game based missions until I get several toss out/re-roll/replace with positive card talents. Also, you always have the option of leaving (to seek medical, repair, or spice hall) and come back if you want. Or abandon the mission altogether.

Not sure I understand increasing the complexity of card games, but would encourage balancing through additional creative card-influencing talents (ex. Level 11 replace card with success card type talents)
