Impatience is a fault of today's expectations with everything and it taints processes that in the past were the normal. Think of the pre-cellphone pre-internet days when you had to look things up in books, go to the library, or simply not know the answer until you could take the time to research it or ask the right person. Think of the time before movie streaming and DVD. You had to go to the video tape rental store and search for your movie (many times that movie was rented out!) not to mention queuing the movie in that tape, and rewinding it afterwards. These are just some examples of what we used to do, what we used to wait for, what was our "normal" (If you're old like me) - and I'm not even going to go into when there were no airplanes and people had to travel by ship, or... horse and carriage! (I'm not that old!) So, we are in the 21st century and we expect everything immediately at the press of a smartphone button and when it isn't fast we think it is boring and broken. But for me, I treat those "waits" in travel as what they are in game ... incredibly fast transport between systems - immerse yourself into the game why don't you? Remind yourself that your "smartphone expectations" are SLOW and mundane to what your in-game character is achieving. If you were actually in that Sidewinder traveling between stars, you'd eat lunch, listen to some music, perhaps joke with friends (teamspeak). Don't succumb to 2014 impatience.
LOL, When I was a lad, we had to take the bus, walk 10 km, though the woods fighting bears to rent a video...So I agree with you.
