i may not be as fast as op nor a "proper" player but i find this so accurate. In "fast" games, imo only final turns or exceptionally complex ones should take near 3 minutes, but there are some players that take those 3 minutes for EVERY turn, slowing the pace a lot. Its really annoying and also when they finally run out of time when a difficult turn comes, they also get mad if you kick them out of the game.
So, i think super fast mode would be very useful for ark nova.

And then the moment a player has low clock and a break triggers, which means needing to do a lot more things, without getting a clock increment, that player will be expelled by the opponent.

How can they take 3 minutes every turn, when the game gives only (currently) 48 seconds per turn? They could take 3 minutes ONE turn, and then 48 seconds every turn after, or 3 minutes every 4th turn...

I'd love it, I am often sub 10 mins play time to opponents on 20+ on fast, panda and bdw are both often sub 5 mins, I think it would be great, like bullet in chess.
