I have an itch to play a good sci-fi strategy game, but I'm picky. I am looking for a strategy game that includes resource management, scientific development, production, and combat. The first games that come to mind with the kind of qualities I'm looking for was the X-COM series. There were a few others too. It can be with starships and systems or units and terrain. I don't want fully skirmish based scenarios like Starcraft, Age of Empires, etc. I want to be able to research technology, amass wealth, build new bases or cities. I want what I work for to stay with me, not disappear every time a new scenario occurs. Like I said before, the X-COM games are a prime, if dated, example of what I'm looking for. Any ideas? I'm looking for an enthralling strategy campaign and I can't find one! :(

given moo3 any thought?

Has anyone heard anything positive of MOO3? MOO2 rules.

Don't waste your money on MOO3 you can get MOO2 for $10 and it is 100 times better.

MOO3? Space cows? ;)

No, really, what's it stand for?

try Galactic Civilization. gamespot says it's better than moo3.

from what i've heard moo3 was good but didn't live up to expectations

oh and moo3 means, Masters of orion 3, here's a gamespy review

Sid meier's Alpha Centauri. Kinda confusing but i think it has what your looking for.

MOO is Master of Orion. MOO2 is very good. I also like Alpha Centaury.

Alpha Centauri owns them all because peace is actually a viable choice.
