Talk:Rookie Help Channel FAQ

Hi. As a complete rookie, can you let me know how the real-time v. game time works. For example, I'm about to start my first mission. I know it expires in a certain number of days but if I undock and head off, then quit the game for a couple of days, does the clock keep ticking? In other words, once I've started a mission do I need to see it through to completion before exiting? Many thanks. (Plus have I posted this in the right place?)
