Fuel Oxidiser = +10% Expedition Duration

Desc Txt, says Fuel Oxidiser is supposed to overloads engines allowing for faster than usual travel.

Whelp I need technical help.

I just added 3 Fuel Oxidisers, thats 6 Quad Servos and a heaping pile of gold, to a 14h balanced 1 star diff mission. Sent 4 ships of 4 star diff. Plenty for a 1 star diff mission. Thinking the interface was stuck, or did not add +30% right, as total mission time truncated to the hour(14h) was unadjusted. Hmpf! But, I filled all 3 slots with Fuel Oxidisers. Thinking something strange is afoot, I proceed to check mission status(see Birdb sent it labeled incorrectly anyway)with the Vykeen Captain, in his Fleet Command Station room. Dirty interloper lover must be taking joy rides my fuel. See.. my logic is 10+10+10=30%, and .3 times 10hrs is +3 more hrs. So I should be seeing this 14hr mission be delayed by atleast +3hrs. Something over 17hrs, should pop up. Not the case. Oh nooo! Still reads 14hrs. Well high 13h and change, since its now underway. Am I confused or is this consuming expensive resources and yielding a NULL reward? Please explain.

Sounds like it's not working, for sure, but it's supposed to lessen the length of the mission, not lengthen it. (Faster travel means less time to complete the journey).

TerriblePurpose,
To add more detail, as I spoke to Captain, he explained they flew 221LY. Since description is implying a change to velocity or acceleration(stuff engines do), maybe I am not doing enough calculating. A full 1hr hadnt trickled by but I doubt they would have taken more than a blink to warp, like it takes a player. Since its not clear by significant detail, the in system distance they travel, I dont know how to verify, if its working. I was hoping for longer missions, more xps, and more diff stars from the use of this. Like there are times sometimes, if I add a second useless Support Freighter, that mission diff will gain a star. This fuel, is certainly not working like advertised, unless a relative time stretch exists, also erasing its bonus. I am selling my Quad Servos and using gold in other fleet buffs.
