Detailed description
• Please copy/paste the error message you see on your screen, if applicable.
In missions with "disruption" (not allowed to comm until xth trick. There is a countdown on comm cards, counting down the number of tricks left until comms are allowed.
For a "disruption 3" mission, (not allowed to comm until the 3rd trick. Meaning there will be 2 tricks without any comms.
The countdown on the comm cards however, starts at 3 at the beginning of the mission, immediately going to 2 once task selection is over. This is misleading, as task selection is not in itself a trick, and comms are not allowed during task selection anyways, with or without disruption.
This can be confusing, for a dis2 mission for example (where only the first trick is without comm), the counter shows a 2, which could cause a player to mistakenly pick a different task than they otherwise would have, because they had an extra commless trick in mind.• Please explain what you wanted to do, what you did and what happened

Report history
When playing, the countdown counts the number of tricks. So intuitively it makes sense to look at that number, and take that as the number of tricks you need to play before you can comm. As it is now, it seemingly considers the task selection to be a trick on it's own. Which is clearly is not.
Additionally, the countdown, which is not there in non-disr. missions, clearly implies a deviation from regular rules. Task selection however, is no different during disruption. In any other mission, you would also not be able to comm during/before selecting tasks. Counting it it in the countdown seems meaningless then.
In summary: Intuitively, it makes sense to think of the countdown as counting down number of tricks left to play. As it is now, however, task selection is counted, increasing it by 1. This means the number counting down doesn't correspond to tricks, and neither does it correspond to number of comms missed (task selection had no comm to take away). Making it ultimately arbitrary and misleading to include it in the countdown.
