Title: Geoscape clock
Post by: Man in the Funny Hat on October 20, 2013, 07:33:30 pm

I have on just a few occasions wished for the ability to stop the clock entirely so that I can examine the geoscape without time passing.  A geoscape "Pause" button that still leaves me with the list of geoscape options but without craft still creeping along or terror sites expiring.  The clock stops when I'm looking at a base or ufopedia or whatnot, but why not when I'm looking at the globe?  There's no room for a new button without rearranging the interface but what if you clicked the currently selected time button again, which would then DE-select it and maybe say, "Game Paused" somewhere on screen.

You can pause the geoscape though when building a new base or sending a waypoint for a craft. There isn't much you really need to do when paused in the geoscape though tbh apart from sending waypoints for craft.
