Here's an idea.
Several players, say three to five.
Each player is the Commander in Chief of a space fleet.
Fleet construction is using the TRAVELLER HIGH GUARD rules.
Budget and Tech Level determined by home planet - to be refined if the game goes ahead.
Time is effectively real time - In Traveller, faster than light (FTL) jumps take two weeks.
Mod One: Communication between CinC and fleet takes only a day or two, as opposed to waiting two weeks for a Scout or other ship carrying messages.
Mod Two: Combat will be dealt with abstractly, as the CinCs would not be there to direct their ships.
Each player would be given an objective and then the resources to plan and execute it.
How long the game will last depends on the play. It could end with the completion of an objective, or it could effectively evolve into a longer running campaign.
That sort of thing.
Anyone interested?

Spent two 'fun' hours last night unclogging a heat break tube (the nozzle was a lost cause and replaced). Stupid bowden tube slipped and molten plastic spilled up into the heat break tube and congealed.
