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!

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

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.
