There's a fine line between drama and realism that has to be walked by showrunners for sure. I vaguely remember seeing an interview awhile back where they were talking about whether to include sounds and the "pew pew pew" from the PDCs firing in the space combat. They ultimately decided to keep it in for dramatic purposes.

Ninja Edit: Agree with your comment above Peter. The long range combat in the books definitely shows how much time combatants have to prepare and react in an engagement. They've definitely sped that part up in the TV show.

Space combat kinda sucking a bit when they don't show things, totally agree for that part. Especially around the last season's big UNN civil war fight where we were forced to watch it play out on a tactical display. That seems like a budget decision than anything else.
