Combined Actions

Summer has been busy so far, but not so with play testing. We have been relegated to PBeM due to everyone's busy summer schedules. None the less the testing continues albeit at a slower pace.

Combined Actions
In PUCS the rules really discourage combined actions. Each action, any action, takes 1 second, combine them and whatever action requires a skill check is done at half. In the current melee, it seems nearly all actions, on both sides have been combined, hence the reason its currently cruising into second 60+.

What I am forced to wonder is if this is a player fallback to patterns they are used to in other systems, is this a flaw in PUCS, or is it working?
