There was a change since the two server resets that this post inspired. Those resets were disappointing for everyone. At least 5 days should be added to the server clock because of this.
I see HUBs becoming active after three days time and I see a timer that was added to controlled HUBs regarding the date the HUB will become inactive.
It would be very nice if a timer could also be implemented for when a HUB will go active.
Anyhow, I thought it was cute that EA "responded" to Issackorp's request by immediately resetting the server and then upon realizing nothing had changed had to push an actual reset the next day.
TLDR 5+ days should be added to the server clock :P
