Well I don't know about starfarer's downtime. There are SOME tedious sections in traveling. For the most part it's hunting and fleeing, and that's no more boring than anything else in starfarer.
If this were something like kerble space program I'd agree, but to successfully cut out sections of a starfarer LP in a way that prevents the viewer from losing track would require some real talent.
Frankly. Faiter is charismatic enough to be worth listening to. I mean, I'm watching his FTL LP's, and it's not because of his l33t skills. lol.
