Nexus requires patience, and can be frustrating. There is much not explained in-game. You may need to do some research - read the manual, forums, guides, to learn enough to navigate the missions. And even then it wouldn't hurt to replay the missions to experiment and try different strategies. It may take time, there is a learning curve, but underneath is a neat space game to be appreciated.

This is a total gem. Too bad they never made the Imperium Galactica sequel, but I'm glad they could reuse a lot of things, like the system maps for the mission plan cutscenes of this game. It's a 10/10 on par with Homeworld 1 or 2, but more in-detail scope on smaller wolfpacks of ships. You rarely have more than a dozen or so ships but can control them in much more detail than in Homeworld. I'd say compared to modern games it's a more forgiving Nebulous Fleet Command or the ship management from FTL (but ignoring the crew)m all tied together by a really nice story. Ship design and art style is excellent. This game had great art direction. In-engine cutscenes are nice.

So I originally bought this game when I was like 12-13? So nearly over two decades ago. Was freaking amazing. Me and my brother both loved it. Now that is out of the way I will say that the game is fun, has a good campaign with well balanced missions. It is a little dated, but holds up decently well. Considering I have seen it on sell(right now in fact) for only $0.99, it is a great steal.
