Hey IronForge, I have a game for you that you might like in the meantime:
Pretend you're a civilian in the Rag Tag Fleet. The Galactica is usually visible not far from your own transport, whenever you're lucky enough to catch a glimpse out one of very few windows. You know the fleet's going somewhere, because the Admiral says so. Things sure seem to be happening occasionally, but on the whole it sometimes seems like you're lost in space. Then you notice that the people who have trust and support in the leadership of the Fleet seem to be... happier. They get called 'ungrateful whingers' less often, and they're threatened less with being airlocked.
Pretend you're one of those people. It's a truly immersive experience. You might even notice some parallels to this Diaspora waiting game...
