a roguelike 4x? how about a roguelike elitelike, where you pilot a ship and trade in space and on planets, and can build your own corporation and construct starbases and things. you could fight with other merchants and pirates, or maybe be a pirate yourself. you could call it TradeWars. Oh wait, thats been done.

I think it would be rather interesting to see an open source 4x game. If it was simple enough (ascii graphics) it wouldnt really compeat with anything, but would add ideas and enthusiasm to the genre. just dont rip off things TOO shamelessly from the SE serise.
