It's very easy to get hours on Zone. Just owning all of Iricia will get you 1.2 minutes per 1 minute. So in 1 hour you are going to get 72 minutes. It is very easy to control all of one planet. Regardless, squads that are 200 hours away from getting the 1k hours will get the hat. (Doing this just to be nice.) Squad with more than 200 hours to go will need 2k hours.
