You just need to play SFB with people who can handle the energy
allocation for a cruiser in 5 minutes tops. Unfortunately, the
engineering types who are good at SFB also microanalyze tactics and
possible enemy moves. That can happen with any game, no matter how
simple. Some people have to carefully analyze every move and take their
sweet time on every decision. SFB just has more decisions to make and
thus more opportunities to waste time.
