Not quite. Only one person has SE4 loaded. Everyone sends him their orders via IM. Only one person is actually physically playing the game.

With about 15 active people it takes about 2 hours to process, and we do a turn a week.

The IRC combats generally don't take long, but then, the PBW battles are usually fairly lopsided...
Those officers don't want to be killed by a random APB blowing out lifesupport, so they tend to bring 6 LCs and a couple carriers to take out one or two Drushocka cruisers.

For a good combat with evenly matched sides, of 4-5 ships, half an hour should be plenty.
