No, he really could not have played the game much. A ship take 3 years (30 turns) to build? What the heck is he building with what?
His research needs 100 to 150 turns to complete? Mmm, might build some more research...
I don't know, either he hasn't played it, he is just a "bad" 4x player (no harm intended) or he just hit the "end turn" button.
