"Days to complete mission"
« on: November 21, 2015, 11:25:17 AM »

At present, if you go into your Intel screen and select an accepted mission, the tooltips will tell you you have "20 days" to complete a mission but this number reflects the total time allotted, not the time left (i.e. it never counts down).

I would much prefer knowing how many days I have left rather than the days given at the start. If this info is found somewhere else, I'd be happy to know but otherwise, I would love to have that info on-hand.

Fair point.

For now, you just have to look at the timestamp on the message (X days ago, etc) and compare it to the current date.

Active missions (+their remaining time) being part of your head-up display (maybe next to the date?), would be even more useful.
