If we must keep this redline mechanic, then can we pleaaaassseeee get the redline timer fixed?
Its infuriating watching my dropship exlode half a meter from the end of the redline...with 7 seconds left on the clock....
All im asking for is an accurate representation of the time left in the redline, so I can respond accordingly.

Not sure what you're getting at
Im an AV incubus. I chase redline tankers when I know I have the time remaining to kill them as they flee into their safety bubble.
My issue is timers saying 18 seconds when they really mean 11

Don't tell atiim, exploding with 5 secs on the clock serves me right for going into the redline (despite the fact maps are smaller and the redline is larger these days)
I dont believe in tanks being invulnerable thanks to some arbitrary line drawn in the sand, so unfortunately I cant share your same acceptance.
If I have 11 seconds, tell me I have 11. If I have 3, tell me I have 3. I despise the redline mechanic, but at the very least I wish it wasnt such a damn liar.

Except, if you go in with your ADS full throttle with the afterburners on and everything, you are going to rocket right past the line, and by the time the game draws the countdown clock, you've actually already spent x amount of time in, which doesn't show on the clock.
Sometimes I go red line hunting too, so Ive seen the timer behave like this. But I mean, anytime I go into a redline, Im 90% expecting that I could lose what I went in with, especially if i push the point of no return.
This is actually the best explanation ive heard, though it does still seem inconsistent, because sometimes I get down to the last few milliseconds and survive, and other times its the 5 to 8 seconds. If all goes well ill be able to record again sometime this week, and ill make sure to scour my footage for any instances of this, to better analyze whats up.
Like I said though, your explanation makes the most sense so far, other than it being straight up glitched. I always assume ill lose my ship the moment I hear thst idiot rdv coming down with my ISK. I too expect to lose my ship in the redline, it just never fails to frustrate when that timer lies.

Im trying to fix my pc as fast as I can so I can startrecording again. This has been an ongoing thing for so long now lol. Im not wxactly made of ISK so I cant just sit there and test it, but if it happens and im recording, ill share it.
