      Big learning curve but that's part of the fun IMO. There's a lot of different ways to approach different scenarios. It's a meticulous, methodical kind of battle rather than rush in gun blazing type of thing. I know it gets described in a lot of ways but it plays more like a Cold War era Naval battle but in space but with Submarine-like tactics but instead of sonar, you use radar. Sometimes people mention Homeworld but it plays nothing like that.

    40k:Battle Sector would be excellent if they just removed the mission requirement to kill all enemies in every mission, it removes any tactical calculations of going after objectives or killing enemies, because you know you'll always have to kill them all eventually.

    Agree about sd2 but nebulous unfortunately has 50% space combat and 50% naval combat and in addition sensor ranges and iirc weapon ranges are much smaller than they should be. Plus the z axis is crazy hard to get used to for a lot of people. Add to that maps that for the most part are giant sphereical areas made up of giant shperical asteroids and I like homeworld better. Fingers crossed it comes good.

    Caveat on Age of Wonder 4. Even with discount, the base game doesn't have the depth of a good 4X game. It's fun but all the options are very shallow and repetitive. It's definitely better with DLCs but the combined cost then makes it one of the most expensive 4X game out there (thanks Paradox). Lastly, persistent performance issue and multi-player desync and current DLC related bugs will all prevent you from really enjoying this otherwise fine 4X fantasy game.
