Description

The Lighthaul star map as a watchface - and your ship flies itself.

Every day a new procedurally-generated cluster arrives, seeded by the date: every pilot wearing this face flies the same galaxy. Every minute the gold route sweeps to a different contract offer. And on the hour (or half hour), the bell: your ship performs the run - the flight plays out as a little cutscene, universe clock and ship clock ticking at their true relativistic rates - then refuels, shops the dock's outfitter, and waits for the next bell.

Each day is one complete career. Dawn starts you at $450 in a stock Courier; by evening you've got redline coils and you're chasing the deep-space halo. At midnight the day folds into your all-time records - best day, most deliveries, highest gamma, streak - and a fresh map arrives. Glance at your wrist: how's my pilot doing?

If the face wasn't running, missed runs are simulated on return, so the day's state always matches the time of day - and everyone on the daily map stays comparable.

* Time, date, battery, comms, and a fuel gauge, all watchface-proper
* Tap or flick your wrist for a stats panel: rank, gamma, streak, records
* Dispatch strategy, run cadence, cutscene verbosity, auto-outfitting, vibes - all configurable, always silent in Quiet Time
* Chart-only mode: the living map without the economy - the freed space shows your steps, distance, and heart rate, and the gauge becomes your step goal
* Same worldgen as the Lighthaul game and web game: a seed names the same stations everywhere
* The dilation is real physics - exact time dilation, honest rocketry in rapidity

The twin paradox as a complication on your wrist.
