Frankly, I wish Misa wasn't being hyped up like this.

This isn't hype. It is one of her limitations. At the start of the series she doesn't approve of the banter that goes on on the bridge because as far as we can tell she has to wrap herself in her martinet persona to carry out her duties, unlike Claudia who is confident enough in her position to be more comfortable about how she performs.
In the early episodes the nearest we see her to being relaxed on the bridge is her joke about using secondhand parts. And even that is more her usual dread irony and sarcasm than seeing the humour in the situation.
To begin with she isn't relaxed, she hasn't found her center and that throws off her decisions, especially where Hikaru is concerned. The scene where she overrides him about leaving Max to escort her recon plane for example.
In the early days it seems that she thinks that as the admiral's daughter she has to be better than every one and to do that she has to be hard and she doesn't understand why the other bridge crew don't see it as necessary to be cold and hard too. Mars is where she reaches the limit of her ability to wall herself in and she cracks under the strain.
The Captain manages stress better.
