I forgot to add this game here too, while early, it's worth a look if you liked the original frontier elite, which the game is based upon
Pioneer
http://pioneerspacesim.net/
I followed it for a while, the game is currently at alpha 18, with a new alpha release every 2nd friday of each month, (one release per month), its free, (SP) and the team do have a lot planned, although the game is still in the early stages. The main focus is to explore the galaxy, there is some trading, but there aren't many populated systems, at least the last time I looked, which is a while now, I should try and get back into it
It also uses the Lua scripting language, so its possible to add your own scripts to it, and one of the people that hosted the official X3 guide / website, Brianetta, is also helping out there.
Last time I checked its still has a long way to go, but as time goes on, it should be an awesome game to play, I would only pick it up now if you want to help the devs out, as you can download the source code from git and compile from source, (not that hard as all three versions (max, unix and windows) are maintained and updated,
I need to take another look at this sometime, but just a heads up in for others to look at it too.
I was browsing the Space Pirate and zombie forum on steam, (oh yes, SPAZ for short, is another great indie game, and has the voice of Totalbiscuit as the narrator, and well worth getting, and there will be a free DLC made available for it in the near future. ...
StarDrive - incoming indie 4x space strategy game in the works

Anyway, if you like 4x games, you might be interested in StarDrive, link to the kickstarter page
for those that might be unaware of what Kiclstarter is, its a way for people to get a project off the ground, and depending on your donation level, you may be eligible for different rewards, for example for StarDrive, if you pay $10 you get the game on release, (release date is June 2012) or if you pay $25 you will have access to StarDrive's closed beta, there are quite a few projects, not sure if many or any or fraud projects, or if there are kicks in place to prevent that?
but anyway, for StarDrive, it will be like Master of Orion 2, as you start off populating a planet, and there will be a few resources, pop size, (determines how fast stuff is built, food level, determines how fast the population grows or shrinks (if the population is starving) and minerals, so you can build stuff
you can customise ship loadouts, and the AI can steal some of your designs, another thing is, its one guy doing the programming, and another doing the art work, as the project has reached its required target and well above that, (still 10 days to go before the donations ends) and already raised $13,356 ($7,500 goal)
Im going to be a backer, haven't yet, but soon I will be, as this game might be good, I do like supporting indie games, as I lost interest supporting many big budget titles, publisher held games are losing their way, and this year been a complete disappointment all around really for PC gaming, hopefully next year will be different, with a few indie titles coming, including this one,
so yeah, just a heads up in you like 4X strategy games, and like Master of Orion which this game will be based from, then the main dev has stated his next game will be based off Escape Velocity, so if this becomes successful, then we may see more games from him.
