Wouldn't it be great to also have a PBM or PBEM version of a grand strategic level wargame set in the Traveller universe. You could have players issue orders to their fleets and then sit back and wait as every week a new set of dispatches arrives from the front lines. Weekly turns would sync up just right with the weekly jumping of fleets and so forth. Imagine the possibilities of charging say $1 per turn or so! And with the different time periods beig considered, you have a natural set of games to play.

I heard of a company that was writing a pbm TCS game a couple of years ago, set in the Islands subsectors. Don't know if they got it off the ground or not.
