Dealing with narrative time?

When your group is in a City for example, researching stuff, gossiping and actually investigating, how do you deal with time? Do you just wing it and go "this takes half a day, this takes another day" or do you use any other methods?

My PCs will spend a good chunk of time in a City doing just this and I kinda want to keep track of time in order to have the evil guys run their own scheme in the meantime. So the plot isnt exactly time sensitive but it should matter how long the PCs need to do things,and they should have both agency and an idea of the necessary time investments.

Any advice here?

For some reason this is the perfect mech in my eyes. It's not the best, but I love it.

Always loved the Highlander. Love the style, the setup and found it to be quite fun in MW5. And while I appreciate the VEST and it's big ass sword, I just find that the Heavy Metal can take on most of what the campaign, the DLCs and the sandbox throw at you. I originally had 3 Clan MP Laser in it and an ATM3 instead of the ATM 6, but I find the ATMs so good, I had to change it. Heat isn't an issue really, ammo is enough and you got firepower to kill vehicles and stuff with the lasers (or ATMs, if you lack line of sight or range) while mechs get melted by ATMs and Gauss to the torso.

I know there are better mechs out there that can kill stuff faster and more efficient. But somehow, whatever else I cook up in the mechlab, this is my favorite. Not even the shiny Clan mechs can win my heart over this. I lack the ATMs to build the VEST Highlander similarly, but I look forward to see how this works with a bloody katana.

(Sidenote: There's some small modding going on. No YAML, but I built it with a mod that makes all cantina upgrades cost 1 point. I'dstill love it without that mod though)

Arrow IV Intro Dates - Equipment and Mechs availability?

It‘s now 3044 or so in my campaign. Arrow IV launchers started appearing in the markets sometime in the past, but neither a news article showed up nor are any compatible mechs on the market as far as I am aware. If Sarna is right, the intro date is 3042, so that fits. I did expect there to be some news about it though, tbh. Did I miss one? And what would be the earliest compatible mech? I would have expected to see mechs at roughly the same time as the launchers, so maybe I just got unlucky?

Herausfinden, ob der Zug wirklich gefahren ist?

Bin mir grade ein wenig unsicher: wir sind auf dem Weg von Flensburg nach Sonderburg. Der Zug, der um 0805 Uhr fahren sollte, fiel laut Ansage am Bahnsteig aus. Wir sind dann recht zügig zum ZOB um den Bus zu nehmen.

Wenn ich jetzt aber auf bahnexpert und im Navigator schaue, steht er dort als pünktlich abgefahren. Da ich jetzt im Bus sitze kann ich das aber natürlich nicht prüfen. Gibts eine Möglichkeit, das genauer herauszufinden? Ich bezweifle, dass die Ansage falsch war, bin jetzt aber etwas verunsichert, auch in Hinblick auf die Fahrgastrechte.
