Quoting yan338,

One thing with Haegemonia is that it doesn't work properly on Vista, usually crashing with a sound error after a little while.  A great shame, as it's one of my favourite space games.  I'm playing it on my EEEPC with XP installed, but it would be nice to play at full res on my desktop.  I can dual-boot into XP though, which I'll do when I haven't got downloads going.

Teal, it will run perfectly on your system (if you have XP), the requirements aren't very high but the graphics are still great (as good as, if not better than Sins, in my opinion).  You can purchase it from Gamersgate for 14.99:

After a short search, I haven't been able to find it anywhere else.  Make sure to update to 1.09, if you decide to get it.

 

Thank you for the nice reply, i'll check out the link and let you know, it looked good on YouTube.

Ahhhh... Star Wars!!!   I used to play the Old KOTOR games several years ago, and tried the Galaxies Onlines as well, haha, it was addicting, i almost couldnt give it up. I would like to try it again, but this sounds silly, but haha, im not sure i can afford the addiction.     But i loved them and the Jedi Knight Academy games as well, it was soooooo neat getting that light saber in your fingers, you know?...      Haha, <echoing voice:  Okie Darth Vad.... Time to.... D...I...E...>  haha, it was great!!  Thank you for the reminder of old memories, it was great!!

I thought Haegemonia was horrible graphics? All the starships look like blocks?

As for star wars empire at war - what a piece of junk. No 3D plane means it mayaswell be called land battles EAW.

I mean sins can be excused because of the massive nature of the game, but SWEAW has smaller levels than homeworld and yet goes backwards in features!

Though the price on Star Wars seems reasonable.

I'll always remember the old VGA Planets fondly.  It was a pretty cool game for its time, and I recall it being really stable for an independent game of such complexity.  Sadly, the new version of the game never got finished.  I guess the developer just couldn't find the time for it anymore.

I still play Birth of the Federation a lot, even though it's 10 years old now.  If you like the idea of a Star Trek strategy game, then you would do well to find a copy.

For space games I play:

Master of Orion II
Galactic Civilizations II
Freespace I
Descent II
Star Wars: Rebel Assault II
Birth of the Federation

Probably have a few more but can't think of them right now.

Note: You may have trouble getting some of these games to run. If you're not opposed to playing old DOS games, look into a free application called dosbox - http://www.dosbox.com/

For those who want to see just what a Star Wars battle is like:

Star Wars: Empire at War: Forces of Corruption: Phoenix Rising mod. Try the skirmish. It's amazing.

 

Homeworld 2: Complex mod

Going to finally try out the Warlords mod as well.

I have fond memories of the old Wing Commander, X-Wing, and TIE Fighter games, but haven't had them for years.
