We could just add to the game.ruleset:

[time]
years_per_turn = 50  ; or whatever is appropriate
halve_years = -2000, 1, 1000, 1800 ; years in which to halve years_per_turn

and then calculate years to reach alpha centauri as (years_per_turn *
turns worth of flight) modified by halve_years if relevant.

It would certainly be simpler.
