I've been revisiting Master of Orion 2 again, a game I keep coming back to every once in a while ever since it was released about a zillion years ago. (MoO3 was utterly appalling). I've tried looking for a decent turn based strategy since and never found anything that comes close that combines the sci-fi fun of encountering alien species, building colonies, designing big spaceships and then taking fleets of them into battle.
Galactic Civilisations didn't cut the mustard for me, Birth of the Federation died stillborn and the Star Wars take on the genre blew stale wind all over it. I looked to Sword of the Stars with interest but reviews seemed to plop it into the pooper scooper. I enjoyed Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri but its a touch planet-bound.
Anyone know of anything good around (or on the horizon) that is turn based, sci-fi and in this genre?
