I am a fan of turn-based, multi-player strategy space-themed war games. I am not a fan of real-time games mostly because I ike to mull my decisions, and it is difficult to get everyone together at the same time.

Currently I play the aging, but still great Space Empires IV. This game has some great features including being very mod-able, and great depth and variety of game play). There are some other old but great space-themed, turned-based strategy games (e.g. Master of Orion), but most of these either had no multi-player, or required everyone to be playing on the same computer.

Anyone on Soylent play a great turn-based strategy games which is space-themed, of which I might not be aware?

    Upcoming from Firaxis....Sid Meyers Civilization Beyond Earth.

    Don't know if it will be multiplayer, but modders are already planning to build a multiplayer robot. They are assuming it will be built on the Civ V engine.

    One of the few upcoming AAA games I'm excited for.

    According to the steam page [steampowered.com] it should have multiplayer. My friends and I are very excited for this as we like the space theme, and already play CiV quite a lot.
