Try games like Age of Wonders, which uses a simultaneous-turn system. Believe me, it's not a mind numbing click fest. To the best of my knowledge, what it does is processes the turn bit by bit. It is much more like everyone playing a turn based game at the same time. It places a limit on how quickly you can move units (So you don't suddenly have player B's fleet surrounded by ships player A brought in from neighbouring systems) but otherwise works out just like a regular turn based game mode. When you are done your turn you just hit end turn like normal, and when everyone has finished, the game moves on to the next turn. I understand your point, but I suggest you give a simultaneous/turn game a quick play to see what I mean. It works out very smoothly, and without the rush of real time games (Which I myself can't play worth a damn). I realize it would never make it into SEV, but I'd love to see it added to future SE titles. Who knows, you might find that you actualy enjoy it.

If you do want to give that style of play a look, if nothing else, you could find Age of Wonders and AoW2 in a bargin bin somewhere, or on amazon for 10$. I'll try to think of what other games I know uses the system.
