Someone help me out here.....if a ship leaves earth & travels for say a year at lightspeed, then turned around and came back to earth, wouldnt more time have passed on earth then on then ship. Shouldnt the ships clock be waaay behind clocks on earth? Reason I'm asking is because I'm kinda arguing with the developers of the mobile game Advanced Space Flight. On the game it shows 2 times: one for ur ship
& one for earth, but the time for ships traveling at or near lightspeed is way faster than earths time. Shouldnt it be the other way around? The argument is on google play in said games reviews if anyone want to jump in.

Thus the duration of the clock cycle of a moving clock is found to be increased: it is measured to be running slow.

Yeah, AFAIK, when you're near a gravity well or going faster (relative to something else), your own clock should be "slower" when compared to that "something else".
