Yeah, you know, I never really worked it out before, but I'm assuming "1024 TC" means that 1 second of real time = 1024 seconds of game time.
1024 seconds = about 17 minutes!
And it's not like the game clock pauses when a threat is encountered so it can drop back to real time and let you know what's going on. It keeps ticking away. And if it takes even half a second of real time to drop back to 1 TC, then you've already lost over 8 minutes in game time, during which your boat continued along on its merry way while any enemy around was free to close and attack you with zero consequences and any damage you took went unaddressed.
