Time compression
 

A question for the old hands. When patroling a grid or making you way to a grid, what impact if any does time compression have on spotting ships? The game interrupts you and takes the time down x8 and gives a you a plot on a map. But I am always concerned that whizzing through an area sort of skips past potential targets before the game has time to alert you. Although I am not suggesting trying to do a patrol in real time :03:

Any observations or hints/tips to share or am I worried about nothing

TC won't affect ship encounters much. However it can affect aircraft encounters.
Anything above 256x may have you not encountering aircraft when you should.

thanks
 

Good to know I am not whizzing past targets like the flash
