PBM is dead! Long live PBM!

That is, future games will have some faster/instant actions and others that take longer. I think the delay is important, because many people don't have time to play a game every day for a couple hours.

This is what I'm shooting for in my game. Anything related to communication is instantaneous, but anything that involves moving matter around is real time. So a ship could take three days to cross a star system or 24 hours to jump to another star system, but messages, reports, and buying/selling will happen instantly. Of course in the case of buying/selling, the goods still have to be picked up and moved around in real time.
