    Ship-to-ship combat is like that in the Lost Fleet series by Jack Campbell. Hours or days of waiting and preparing, trying to get in the enemy’s head to guess what they’ll do, and coordinating the fire and last minute acceleration/maneuvers of your fleet, then the automatic programs carry out those orders and you see who died. It’s really well done.

      I love hard scifi. Gonna check this out. If you guys want something in return; I think the children of time series is cool for actually handling the vast distances of travel. >!(I don’t think the expanse for all its glory counts on this front because it’s just explained with “aliens”)!<
