I'm sure many of you have played many space RTS games, so name your favorites and why.
[Warning Rant Follows]
Of all the ones I have played I personally have to say the Fragile Allegiance[1] was the best I have ever played so far due to the depth of gameplay, wasn't to heavily storied but what it did have fit in well. So far Sins is the closest game to have that depth.
Quite hard to describe the game but if you have a system prior to XP i would suggest getting a copy, it is currently consider abandoned ware, a few differences to mention would be it was based in the "Fragmented Sectors" think asteroid belt like the one between our 4th and 5th planet, the object was to colonize the asteroids and mine them while competing in a "Trade War" with up to 5 other alien races. With multiple ore types some worthless except for selling, while most was needed for ships missiles and spy satellites other more rare ones needed for construction of more powerful missiles [nuclear, virus, stasis, and Mega Missile(which destroys whichever asteroid it hits.)] And the employment of Staff to govern over one or more asteroids, or a spy to sabotage or gather information from enemies, nothing like a power outage before a 100 or more missiles enter orbit to knock out the anti-missile turrets and area shields, or to knock out their anti-ship turrets...
Umm... sorry for rant.
[1] Fragile Allegiance was then name of the second game, it is also known as K240.
