Developed by Ironclad and published by Stardock, Sins of a Solar Empire is one of the best space RTS experiences available. SoaSE incarnates the Homeworld style but where in Homeworld you control a single fleet in complex tactical battles embarking in an epic story in Sins you control many fleets and conduct epic battles with simpler tactical control over them. Sins offers epic battles with lots of spaceships in gorgeous sets.

Stardock and Ironclad will release it's new Sins of a Solar Empire expansion February 2010. This new expansion is named Diplomacy.

Star Trek Supremacy is a 4x space strategy game being developed by Mike Strobel. It is a Non-commercial Open Source project that will be made available for free to the public. The game is not licensed by the Star Trek franchise, it is a title being developed by an independent developer as an hobby.

Supremacy picks up from the classic Microprose title Star Trek Birth of the Federation, a.k.a. Star Trek: BOTF. Supremacy’s intention is to be a BOTF’s rightful successor. Sometimes Supremacy is also known in the community as Star Trek Birth of Federation 2 (BOTF2).
