No, I was thinking of Pax Imperia: Eminent Domain, which had some good and bad stuff compared to Space Empires (mostly SE4 is better, but it had some neat things, I thought - had me hooked for a while after it came out, mainly just from typical 4X addictive stuff rather than because it was brilliant in any way, and of course I had to use Pause a lot to make it playable, since otherwise it would be an RTS clickfest, which made MP not something I wanted to bother with).

I expect there are others space conquest games that have an "Any" atmos choice. Was Stars! one of them? I've never bothered with Stars!, except to hear descriptions which made me pretty sure I wasn't interested.
