With the upcoming changes (time dilation and log off timers), it is going to be very dodgy knowing when you can or can't log off safely. Could a visual timer (like in lowsec) be introduced but for in nullsec purely for the use of knowing whether you can log off without fear etc. I would have thought the dev time for this would be very short as the timer must already be there for the server to know when you can log off and the aggression timer code is obviously already there.

This is a good point... with the new logoff mechanics, 15 minutes SINCE being in combat for some capitals... is this 15 REAL minutes or 15 time-dilated minutes?

According to a ccp guy, they have chosen it to be dilated minutes so will be impossible for us to accurately calculate without the game doing it for us

i support this, since it should have been in game for years now.

While I fully support more Super Caps dying, yeah we do need both a visual monitor of current rate of time dilation and a 'I'm still agressed' meter or it will just result in tears!
