How It Works: Executive Hangar Timer

The Executive Hangar timer follows a strict, repeating cycle divided into three distinct phases:

• Red Phase: All lights start red and turn green one by one, every 24 minutes.
  This phase lasts a total of 2 hours.
  Important: Do not insert Compboards during this phase — the hangar will not open.
• Green Phase: Once all lights have turned green, they begin turning off one by one, every 12 minutes.
  This phase lasts 1 hour.
  Important: You can insert Compboards and open the hangar during this phase.
• Black Phase: After all lights are off, there is a 5-minute blackout period before the entire cycle resets to Red.
  Note: The lights may also appear black if another player has already inserted all the Compboards, triggering the door to open early.

From extensive testing during the 4.0.1 Preview, the timing cycle appears to be universal across all servers, shards, and regions.
That means you can trust the timer regardless of where you're playing — no need to visit the hangar to check its status anymore physically.

Important Details:

• Upon a new patch or possible server maintenance the timer MAY be inaccurate for a day or two. Just until I have had time myself to reset and validate the timer.
• If the hangar is blacked out while the website shows it should be in the Green Phase, it usually means another player has already opened the door. This does not affect the timer cycle itself.
• There is a known graphical bug where all lights may appear black despite no Compboards being inserted. In this case, once the next timer event triggers (light change), the lights will correctly display their intended color again.

How It Works: Self Timers

Each Contested Zone section on the site also includes Self Timers to help you track terminal or keycard capture times manually. These timers are completely separate from the main Executive Hangar cycle, and are provided for personal convenience when juggling multiple CZ objectives.

• Click the Start button next to any self-timer to begin a countdown.
• Need to restart the timer? Simply click the Start button again to reset it.
• Once started, timers will continue to run even if you leave or refresh the page — they are stored locally in your browser.

Note: Self-timers are not synced between devices. They are specific to your browser session.
