    nah

    If you do things right, the combat should only be around 5-10% the length of the average mission. I think you're letting the learning curve taint your entire impression of the game. Art direction is amazing, the best there was, and perhaps it was not all by design either. The HUD and ands menus are minimalistic and the ships are a bit boxy(no doubt limited in some way by the tech of the time), but that's precisely what space is: empty and utilitarian.

    i can't get past the first level without falling asleep, i don't know the game just doesn't grab me at all, and i even had a mod to disable the difficulty rubber band, but the moment any real combat starts i just want to stop playing since i don't feel like i have any control over anything, plus everything is so tiny i don't even get to enjoy the action, i feel like i'm playing with the user interface 90% of the time, instead of just admiring the visuals

     

    homeworld has to be one of the most boring series i've ever played, i just can't get into it no matter how much i try to, it just feels too meh, even the backgrounds are just, serviceable but, it all feels so sterile to me

     

    plus i hate how you can screw yourself over if your army is shit, or if you don't capture enough ships or something

     

    it's too tedious, it's not fun at all, it just makes me resent the game and it doesn't put me in the mood to play it at all

     

    It's all about patience and planning, the two things that you seem to be allergic to

    Pretty much, yeah :)
    Also it has insane human experimentation units/corps.

     

    Sounds pretty dumb. They can field massive fleets of FTL warships and build floating cities, but can't afford the most basic shit like ammunition? Which means they have to adopt some kind of medieval military doctrine for the front lines. 

     

    Russia today can barely afford one put-put diesel carrier but still manages to export a small arms cornucopia.

    Um, actually...

    In Warhammer 40k they also use swords because swords don't run out of ammo. When fighting Tyranids, Orks, Chaos, or pretty much anything, there's a good chance that they have more people than you have bullets. And yes you can run out of bullets with a laser gun.

    Not going to lie, the more I hear about the 40kverse, the smoother my brain becomes. Is their entire empire logistically challenged like the Red Army from 1942?
