Unless you have the designer password you most likely can't time bubble the system causing your issue. The only exception I'm aware of is if it is a system your player race has explored.
My current game is grinding to a halt with 5sec and 10 sec increments due to NPRs fighting somewhere. I can see the increments being driven under the log but no idea where they are fighting. Is the only way to resolve this through getting access to the database?
Also how exactly does the time bubble mechanic work?
