Hay hope everyone has an awesome holiday season, but I am trying to find an old space rts game made in the late 90's early 2000's. The closest game I can relate it to is sins of a solar empire. I think it is a top down perspective where you build an empire from conquering planets. You can build lots of ships and design them. I do not remember if you can control them or not it might be ai controlled for all I can remember. You could also build lost of defenses for your planets mines, guns, those sorts of things. Well that is all I can really remember about it. So if you can name the game that would be awesome. Again, have a good time everybody. If you canprovide a link that would be awsome!

Any of these ring a bell:

Solar Winds 1 or 2

Conquest: Frontier Wars

Nexus: The Jupiter Incident

Galactic Empires 1 or 2

Orb

Stars!

Gamespot has visuals of all of these if that helps.

Galactic Empire was one of the tops down games, there was also Master's of Orion 3 and Masters of Orion 2......

Also Dune 2000 was a rts as well, no city management but straight RTS from Westwood Studios.
