The devs have mentioned they are working on alternative modes of travel/time compression, selectable before you begin your game.

But yes, a lot of this is "rudimentary" rather than "hardcore sim". But, given the interest this game has generated, and the wide audience (for many, most?, this is the first sub sim they have played) the game is attracting, having a full realism/immersion hardcore subsim could turn off 90% of people trying the game. And so, before even a full release, it would be... dead in the water.

Thanks for the tips!
