SE:V, I'll be honest

SFB is not a computer game though. It requires a fair bit of dedication to play. All that pre-plotting stuff sounds fairly tedious, to me. In a "board game" setting, it can't be avoided if you want a decent system. With a computer game, we don't need to have overly complex initiative systems when there are easier (for the players) ways.

With the computer doing the record-keeping, a lot of the complexity goes out the window. The "Move to" order in SEV tactical is conceptually identical to how pre-plotting would be done.
