Time for a new 4x Space Game

[DennisS]

I want the best parts of Masters of Orion, Sins of the Solar Empire, Galactic Civilizations, Stars!, and Space Empires, all rolled into one beautifully polished product.

AND I WANT IT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Heh. Agreed. There is ALWAYS room for a good 4x game.

There are at least two (decent-looking) open source 4x games in production:

Free Orion and Thousand Parsec.

Lost Empire: Immortals has some awesome features (HUGE galaxy maps, easy to manage a sprawling empire, decent UI) but it's sluggish, lacks emotional investment, and is difficult to mod.
