I'm also tired of waiting for the computer to think:mad:. I was looking for possible solutions on the internet; here's what I found: there's a file in the player profile called user.cfg (in my case, it's Tribes of the East, so the file is called user_a2.cfg). There's a line there called setvar ai_time_limit; by default, the parameter is 180,000 (in milliseconds), which is the time after which the AI's turn ends, regardless of the result. I set this parameter to 30,000 (half a minute). Of course, as the developers claim, the AI will get worse, but otherwise, it's impossible to play. I'll see what happens.
