Re: What Do You Do While Your Turns Process
I go through spirts as well. Right now I am playing a test game of STM as the Klingons and finding that my attention is wondering. I am in three PBW games at the moment and just doing basic turn stuff. Not a lot of fun.
I have been playing freelance off and on but loosing interest in it fast.

Re: What Do You Do While Your Turns Process
Entertainment is like the taste of food. Even if you really like steak, you're not going to want it all the time. In fact, after enough steak, you might want salad for a while, or cabbage rolls.
Mmmm, cabbage rolls...

Re: What Do You Do While Your Turns Process
What? No cheese? 
Having said that, I wonder if I could exist on just pizza. Every day. Hmmmmm, no more tacos?!?! Guess I gotta agree with the "Narf" on this one!

Re: What Do You Do While Your Turns Process
I now sleep between turns. My turn times are about six minutes long now. I remember when I used to sleep while waiting for the clean line buzzar to go off every minute and a half at work. A cold dark room coupled with having to ware a clean room uniform under thick chemical gear will do that to you at 3am in the morning.
God I really do miss those days..... they seem almost like a dream now, but back then it was a crap job, but now, in reflection, it was really a great job. GD chinese imports!

Done it! Years ago I spent 10 years as a pizza delivery driver (yes, 10 years. It's better money than you think). As such I lived on pizza 5 days a week for those 10 years.
And I'm still not sick of it!
MMMMmmmmm, pizza...

Re: What Do You Do While Your Turns Process
RTH2 takes 45 minutes to run.
I have been runnning it at work.
It brings my computer down to a crawl.
It is a brand new computer.
So i eat lunch, and go look at the plant floor and turn my monitor off.

Re: What Do You Do While Your Turns Process
If we're talking playing the AI, I've never had turn-processing take more than 1 minute, so I just sit and grin at the screen watching my pretty little ships scooting around. Weeeee!
Then again I've never played this on less than a P3.
