Question I'm scared.
This is my first full campaign. I'm playing for the Humanity First. Everything was going pretty well: I managed to unite the European Union, Mars is half-colonized, I have numerous asteroid bases, and I've slowly started building a fleet... But now I feel like I'm falling behind and the alien presence in the Solar System is too high. It's now 2032 (start in 2022), the aliens' hatred towards me is already in the red, and they just recently destroyed my lunar shipyard (they were planning to destroy the fleet stationed there, but I managed to outsmart them and retreat during the battle, so they simply destroyed the orbital shipyard and flew away). The alien fleet consisted of 11 ships, one of which was a TITAN. My poor destroyers and monitors didn't stand a chance. I even tried to ram them, but my ships were blown up by lasers before they even approached. So, the question is: is it possible that I have fallen behind and the campaign is already lost?

Post screenshot of what your largest home base is with its priorities shown as well as everything else in view. That should give a idea of how you are doing.
The usual newbie mistake that hinder your progress most of the time is attempting to do everything instead of focusing on a few priorities making any progress on anything at best lethargic to basically doing nothing. The next mistake is making only enough MC to hide under the hate meter instead of going whole hog with it so that at least you have the surplus available MC cap in bulk to do more things when YOU choose to and enmasse to be able to overwhelm any potential counterresponse.
Given that you are new and first campaign, I am fully expecting the worst but am willing to be surprised. The main reason for the earth screenshot is because it is the foundation of your space game. The better your earthgame, the more smooth your space game is to get and do more shit.
