The other one I want to try is endless space, just waiting for it to on sale as I vowed to never pay full price for a game that is released with issues.

Endless Space isn't that horrible. Main complaint I have against is the dumbed down rock paper scissor combat with card system. Kind of makes the time spent on research and the ability to customize ships a bit nonsense.

Try out EVE op. Looks like what you are looking for in real time game.

So why is that? Why does no one make them anymore?

That's kind of crappy. Whatever happened to good old single player campaign games? I am sick of hearing about multi player and MMOs to the exclusion of all else.

I have no desire to spend hours or weeks or months of my time plus any real money, building something that can then be destroyed by someone else in a heartbeat. What fun is that?

PREACH IT BROTHA!

I know that there are many people out there that enjoy multi player, but I always place SP content ahead of MP content.

Gaming 10 years from now will not be anywhere close to what we had 10 years ago.

Well I may give endless space a try. I heard it is really hard though? This could be bad I am not a very skilled gamer lol.

I tried eve but I don't want to go down another MMO rabbit hole after playing Rift too much for a good year.

I have been playing a game called moonbreakers which is more of a flight arcade space sim, but I was looking for something more deep and strategic.

Oh I do miss the hay days of space combat. Tie Fighter Vs X Wing, Free lancer, Wing Commander... sigh.

When I feel the need to fight in the void, I load up Star Wars: Empire at War or Bridge Commander. They are a tad dated but stilll fun.

I decided to just give X3 a try. The whole set is is 19.99 (50% off) on the steam sale. I would like to try something different from what I usually play anyway.

Ok well so far here is how I feel while playing X3:

It seems like it would be really great...if I could just figure out how a single thing is supposed to work!

My favorite space based game is Starwars Empire at War: Forces Of Corruption, with the absolute corruption mod.
