AAR Frame 1 Summer Storm

Drone, I thought I read the MOTD twice to make sure it said start time was 12:05 by the game clock.  I know you announced fields open at 12:00, but by then I had the mission full and ready to go.  Can you possibly announce field open time at least 5 minutes early just to make sure everyone knows?  Maybe someone can show me how to quickly change the launch time of your mission?  Is it as simple as changing the time and resubmitting?  I have tried changing missions last minute before, and somehow things always get messed up, so we elected to wait it out and not risk messing up the mission setup.

Tracer,  

Normally, I give 5 - 10 minute warnings beginning at T+30 and I know I gave a '1 minute until launch' Friday.  ( I think it was like 13 minutes before and 5 minutes before announcements also. )

Now, I do recall that I had to reset the game clock sometime after I had logged in, but I think that was about 40 minutes or so before launch time.  It may have been sooner to launch time than that.. things were kinda rushed on my end. Normally, I have the game clock set 2 hours before the event, but couldn't be there for that this week.

Yes, you can edit and change the start time on your mission at any time ( even after you have launched! ) and even make it earlier than the wall time. All that does is immediately launch anybody who is already signed onto the mission. Just click 'yes' to the big ugly message asking if you really want to do that.
