📋 About This Mod
Pilot (level 2 and up) will warn the player 10-15 minutes before Tide hits and then (all level pilots) one minute before.
Player can trigger a conversation with experienced pilot (via context menu or comm, pilot must be in one of Avarice sectors) asking about estimated time untill Tide will hit. Pilot needs to gather data, so this request can be done once every aprox 10 minutes - and precision of given Tide timing depends on pilot level.
Low level pilots (level 1 and 2) will abandon this order after the Tide ends - due to their lack of experience and because they will be too scared to continue.
