I'm catching up here...
with my past experience playtesting Agents of Gaming Babylon 5 Wars and B5 Fleet Action, the slowness of WB is not surprising. they probably still have some "Continuity Editor" (their term) looking over stuff. that was always slow, especially with the sometimes weird comments that came back.... BTW, the B5Wars/FA Continuity Editor earned the nickname "Discontinuity Editor", just because of some of the silly holdups.
