I played a really fun one about 5-6 years ago, that was pretty in-depth as far as upgrades and progression goes, and I'm always trying to recreate that fun. I'm not even a big fan of that genre, but I've always felt that there has to be some way to make that type of game super engrossing. Are there any cream of the crop titles that everybody know about but me?
Why top-down? Why not 3D?
To me, X2 is one of the greatest games that ever existed. I mean, you get to do a variety of missions, and you can BUILD your own space stations-- complete with algae farms, solar energy farms, weapons factories, etc. And you can fly around your station and actually see what it looks like. Oh-- and you can train a team of pirates to take over expensive warships, or attack a freighter until the captain ejects and steal it.
