The space genre kinda died with the exception of grizzled space marine shooters.
No one knows when its gonna revive. We've been waiting for a proper X-wing sequel for a while now. MOO3 almost killed the space conquest genre. Mass Effect brought back the space RPG, but it wasnt enough to encourage other devs to do the same thing. ME2 is on the way. Maybe if we're lucky it will have ship-to-ship combat.

X2 and X3 are supposed to be good but I had too many technical difficulties getting them to run, so I never found out.

Wing Commander: Privateer (probably waaaay to old)
Star Control II is probably my favorite PC game of all time. If you enjoy it, give Escape Velocity: Nova a try. It is similar, but more open ended, and you really don't have to follow any story line if you don't want to. I've had a lot of fun just being a pirate.

Damn, $30 and I can't find a used copy anywhere! :Q

If you do (and you get a kick out of seeing your economic empire grow) you can get lost in that universe for months.

No kidding! If I could get the original X-Wing and TIE Fighter games rereleased with modern graphics, I'd be thrilled.
