I got the "experimental" freighter roster. They DID give the 5 day off block, but then squeezed in a night turn between the 5-days and my leave. Would it kill them to just think like HUMANS and give the 5-day block before leave?
I'm not sure what the experimental freighter roster is but a few months ago they sent a notification out mentioning that we shouldn't expect more than 1 day off before leave and 2 days off after leave. In my case they went out of their way to make sure I didn't get 2 days off before leave by manually inserting a Standby Sim Support although I had strategically and successfully bid to get 2 days off before that leave.
More recently in October when I was looking for swaps I noticed that every crew roster I saw with leave in it had zero days off before leave although I haven't seen any notification about that.
Buyer beware.
