can you allow us to change back to LPT just by clicking the IN-GAME CLOCK?
edit: how will we know the LPT time?

Sorry for the late reply, been out for a while.

Yeah I understand that there might be some confusion due to the game still using lpt time. Thanks for your feedback, I'll work on it

🆕 New Update - Toggle & Time Zone Display

I've added a small but powerful upgrade to the script to make it even more flexible and user-friendly.

Big thanks to SHIPPUDEN06 for this one. He suggested being able to switch back to LPT easily and pointed out the confusion around knowing which time is being displayed — so I went ahead and built on that idea.

There is now a modern toggle switch placed right beside the in-game LPT timer. This allows you to instantly switch between:

• Local Time – your actual system time
• In-Game LPT – the original game time

No reloads, no settings menus — just flip the switch and you're good.

Also added a time zone label, so you always know exactly what you're looking at. No more guessing or second-guessing.

🔁 Toggle Preview

Toggle OFF (Showing In-Game LPT):

Toggle ON (Showing Your Local Time):

✨ Why This Matters

• ⚡ Instant switching between time formats
• 🧭 Clear time zone visibility at all times
• 🎯 More control depending on what you need at the moment

Simple upgrade, but it makes a big difference.

Quality of Life Improvement - Local Time Converter for Cartel Empire

Hello Cartel Empire Community!

I've created a simple quality-of-life userscript that I wanted to share with everyone. As someone who plays from a different time zone, I often found myself manually converting LPT (Local Player Time) to my local time, so I made a script to handle this automatically.

🕒 What This Script Does

The Cartel Empire - Local Time Replacer completely replaces the in-game LPT display with your actual local time. No more mental math trying to figure out what time events happen in your time zone!

Before: Mon, 20 Oct 2025 15:41:19 LPT
After: 10/20/2025, 3:41:19 PM (or your local format)

📥 Download & Installation

Step 1: Install a userscript manager (required):

• Tampermonkey (Recommended - Chrome/Edge/Firefox/Safari)
• Violentmonkey (Alternative)

Step 2: Click the download button below:

⬇️ Download Script Here

After clicking, your userscript manager will prompt you to install. Just click "Install" and you're done!

🔧 Features

• ✅ Automatic - Works immediately after installation
• ✅ Persistent - Survives page refreshes and dynamic content updates
• ✅ Clean - Replaces LPT with your familiar local time format
• ✅ Non-intrusive - Doesn't modify gameplay or provide unfair advantages
• ✅ Open Source - Code is transparent and viewable on GitHub Gist

ℹ️ Important Notes

• This is a client-side userscript - it only affects how time is displayed on your own browser
• No game data is modified - it simply converts the display of existing time information
• Completely optional - use it if you find it helpful, ignore it if you don't
• Hosted on GitHub Gists for transparency and easy updates

🛡️ My Commitment

I want to be very clear about my intentions:

• I'm just trying to help improve quality of life for players who struggle with time zone conversions
• This is a purely cosmetic change that doesn't affect gameplay mechanics
• If the game administrators determine this script is not acceptable, I will immediately take it down
• I'm open to feedback and will modify or remove features if requested

🤝 Support & Feedback

If you have any issues or suggestions:

• Leave a comment on this thread
• The script will auto-update if I make improvements

I hope this little tool helps some of you as much as it's helped me! It's especially useful for planning around events, expeditions, and market activities across different time zones.

Below is an image of what it would look like 

Happy gaming!
