My two cents:
AI Wars fits title pretty well but it's RTS, not RPG.
Flatspace is lovely pseudo-2D sandboxish spacesim but it's not really about conquest.

Freelancer still gets around on eBay?

I got mine on Ebay, 2 years ago : $5 (plus $10 to ship to Europe -_- )
don't worry about buying it on second hand, I think ("I THINK") you can play on the internet still

Posting so I can find this thread later.

Escape Velocity Nova.

I third distant worlds. You can set automation so that you're pretty much controlling one ship or fleet in a pretty massive galaxy (up to 1400 stars each with their own system of planets.) and it really feels like you're in space, with planets orbiting stars and moons orbiting planets and massive rifts of gas around the galactic centre.

Space Ranger perhaps?

[Sean Mirrsen]

I'd suggest Space Rangers 2, but it's only meta-realtime, and you're on the wrong side of the conquest.

I'd also like to put in a word for Sins.

Sword of the Stars lets you control your ships individually in realtime combat, despite also being a turn-based 4x game. It's fun. Plus there's a sequel coming out in a month or so.

I play it quite a bit.

It's more turn based than real time.

[C27]

Yes, turn based with realtime combat a la Total War. The best of both worlds, IMO.

Pax Imperia
Pax Imperia, Emminent Domain

Basically MOO2 in real time.

C27, I'm not getting your Latin. Best I can get is "Not slaves - We are crimes against their divine law." but even that isn't translated correctly.

Eh, on a similar note there's Remember Tomorrow. I basically found Pax Imperia only because it was listed as "similar" to it on old-games.ru.

Also, there's Imperium Galactica 2. Realtime? Check. 2D space? Check. 4X? Check. Galactic conquest? Double check. It was one of my favorite 4X games.

Having played both, I'd say X3 is superior to Freelancer in every way except that Freelancer has multiplayer, and that Freelancer must be easier to mod or something (or more popular to mod), because more people have done it.
