Have you tried Stellaris? Even if you have, it improved quite a bit over the last year.

Endless Space 2 is also supposed to be really good, but I can't speak for it personally... Yet.

EDIT: Also, since you're into the older games, you should look at Distant Worlds.

I'm just now getting into Stellaris. The 3 separate drive types thing kinda throws me off, but I have a friend who's really into Paradox games that says it's pretty awesome nonetheless. (He's my main Master of Magic buddy, so his word carries a lot of weight for me.)

If nothing else, his descriptions of the random events in Stellaris seem pretty awesome.

I've not tried Endless Space or Distant Worlds before, but I will check them out. I have no problems whatsoever with less than perfect graphics (although pure ascii is pushing it, Brogue and Dorf Fortress being notable exceptions) so thanks for the older game suggestion too.

Distant Worlds isn't old, I just meant that it's graphics are pretty simple. But the game itself is incredibly complex.

Yeah, the dev's goal for Stellaris was to combine all the big sci-fi tropes into one game. So you get 3 FTL types, lots of classic space weapons, all the standard empire personalities and so on.

You should play vanilla first, but I find that mods help it alot.

Stellaris is pretty good and even though paradox is a cuck company (they banned people over using the phrase remove kebab in EU4), they support their games well.

Stellaris gets a little boring in the mid to late game but they are working on improving it.
