I doubt it’s 12 PM CST. It’s more likely 12PM CDT. One might claim it’s pedantic, but it also differs with one hour (and a good example why we need to drop daylight savings time)

Squad has said it's 1:00PM EST, so yes, it's 12:00PM CST

Looks like the Russians will be in the best position to hit the ground running. 8 pm. Not too late, and the kids (if they have them) are in bed.  Germans with no children will be off work and have a few hours before needing to go to bed for work the next day.

North Americans get to sit at work knowing that the DLC is out but they still have to file that report, finish that wall, wait for classes to get out, spend a few more hours writing code or whatever they do to fund life.

If I manage to get up at 5 am, I'll have a few hours before work...But it is a long holiday weekend here, so likely not much other than a cursory look will be accomplished for  several days.  But that's okay; I'm going kayaking and as much as I like KSP, actual whitewater wins.

It actually is CDT/EDT, however most people are incredibly sloppy with it and assume daylight savings is the same everywhere. Which really isn’t the case (especially next year when Florida abandons the semi-annular changeover).

So yes, most of us are talking about the same thing, with daylight savings times applied. But it would be more accurate to mention the actual timezone and not the one from six months ago. This is a forum where we like to stick to accuracy. Watch what happens when I say that on Kerbin, space starts at 70,000 feet, “because that’s the unit of altitude most people are familiar with.”

Well, I got the times for a timezone site and they probably took countries that do and dont use daylight savings into account.

Then it’s one hour earlier, because we *do* have daylight savings time here!

BREAKING GROUND WILL BE RELEASED AT NOON, EAST COAST TIME (where there’s daylight savings)

Remember, Squad released a time without daylight savings applied.

Either that or they are using the wrong codes like everyone else.

Noon CST == Noon EDT.

Squad is in Mexico which does use Daylight Savings iirc. And they live in the CST time zone. So they did apply daylight time. So it's 1pm EST. 12pm CST. 11am MST. Etc.

Time and date.com take into account all that. I used it all the time to phone my mother in the US, considering daylight and standard not only shift on the different hemispheres, but there is about a two week period when the US goes to daylight savings but NZ has not yet switched back to standard.  My mother never figured this out, which is why I often got calls from her at 6 am.

I like time.is, partly cos' of the snappy domain name, partly the nice minimal interface, but also because you can create links like this.

4 if they literally meant CST. 3 if they actually meant CDT. 

 

I know Steam does its store updates at 1pm.  Which is 3 hours away from me, in Boston.
