The alternation of one empire fires and moves then the other empire always did seem a little extreme to me. How about alternation by ship. Initiative could be resolved by speed, experience etc. This would make a big difference in large fleet engagements where it really matters, but would make no difference one on one. I do still think the defender at a warp point battle should have an advantage; perhaps a bonus to each ship/unit's initiative.

Unfortunately, this is all just wishful thinking. I doubt Aaron would ever do this.
