A thought just occurred to me...
0 HOUR 0 DAY should probably be counted from the time the Nexus arrives, since it arrived first. That would have us arriving at around 420 DAY.

Nobody starts counting at zero unless they wanna be off by one. Pretty much every person working in computer sciences starts counting at zero. If you don't you're often off by one. Yep, and even though the convention's been that way since the eighties or nineties, the argument over it is still considered flamebait.

That's fine. Then get me mathematically to 1700 from 23:59 and not a minute sooner or after knowing that dinner is served five hours before 00:00. I dunno. I don't really care if your drill instructor pulled this little trick on you. I'm done.

I don't really care if your drill instructor pulled this little trick on you. I'm done. I'll try to put this as simply as I can. 2359 hours to 0000 hours is 1 minute. 0000 hours to 0100 hours is 1 hour 0100 hours to 1700 hours is 16 hours. 16 hours + 1 hour + 1 minute gives you 17 hours and 1 minute.

This reminds me of a Sesame Street episode where everyone takes Cookie Monster's cookies and he's sad until Guy Smiley tells him he may not have 6 or 3 or 2 cookies, but he does have zero cookies, and zero is a number of cookies you can have.

Incorrect.
Military time the day starts at midnight...0000.
Also, considering the time being shown was the instance you entered Andromeda, the time would have been 0 hour as no hours had passed.
That's fine. If you have dinner five hours before midnight, what time do you have dinner? According to you, we eat dinner at five o'clock every morning. Now yeh. I'm all too familiar with how they use 24:00:00 as a use for midnight although it never appears. The furthest that clock goes is 23:59:59 before it rolls over to 00:00:00. Which means that it is still off by one. What part of this don't you get? What the actual fuck are you talking about? 5 hours before midnight is 19:00.. seven o'clock not 5am, that's 5 hours AFTER midnight. This is either some Ken M level trolling or it's a miracle you somehow can muster the concentration needed to breathe...

I don't know why, but I really like that tiny detail at the start of a new game right after the Hyperion drops out of FTL.
It's a shame they didn't use it any more. It would have been cool if they had used it after major plot points.
I also really like symmetry, so it would have been cool to have the main story end with the Tempest jumping to FTL and something like "DAY 257; HOUR 17".
I suspect the sequel will start with the same timer and show how much time has passed.

I liked the detail too.
I think the reason they didn't follow up with it, is that they wanted to give the player his / her own sense of time.
Someone who does only the story content, for example, compared to a completionist?
Would be a bit strange to see them operating on the same timeline, given it's linked to a story beat

I don't care about your exposition. If you are saying that 24:00 is a time, then 24:30 must be time just as 18:30 is a time. Which would invalidate his point altogether, seeing as you start counting at 1 and stop counting at 24. So, now genious, you gonna get me to 1900 from 23:59 mathematically or are you gonna completely fail at the argument? I don't care how smart you say that you are. Prove it. This has got to be one of the most dense arguments I've ever been in in my life.

I don't really care if your drill instructor pulled this little trick on you. I'm done.

Military time starts at 0000.

Goishen's original point makes sense if you consider it a counter in the sense of which day you are in. On your first day of work, you can consider that Day One, usually not Day Zero. If we consider it a calendar, then historically, it can go either way. Some calendars have a Year Zero, some don't. So, it's not unfathomable to have a Day Zero in a fictional calendar. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year_zeroAs long as the argument is centered around it being a clock that include days, 0 makes sense. 12:00am=0:00 Military Time. At any rate, it's rather petty criticism.

Which indicates that the military clock is off by one. I'm not saying that they are losing minutes everyday.
I'm simply trying to point this out. The standard clock doesn't suffer from this off by one error. It comes with a whole host of It's own problems.
But to state that the military clock is not off by one is simply asinine.

That's fine. If you have dinner five hours before midnight, what time do you have dinner? According to you, we eat dinner at five o'clock every morning. Could you show me the math on that? I came up with 1900 hours, not 0500 hours. Or 7PM, depending on what system we're talking about I All of it. As for calendars, Western calendars can't have a year zero because we didn't have zero yet when we invented them, although astronomers later adopted year zero. I don't know about other cultures; several do have year zeroes.

What's your point? Someone with more knowledge -- is 2400 hours even a thing? My impression is that 2400 isn't a time, and you'd always use 0000.
