But we humans do have a way with advancing fast, if only our birthrate would not grow as fast as our population. Cough* cough* southeat asia.

Anyway my ideal video game would be similar to rockets but instead of as a trader you would be the leader of a species. You could become a secular democratically elected president of a tolerant but dominance seeking government or the high priest of a vast peaceful trade based theocracy that rabidly annihilates all its defeated enemies. You would also be able not only to build your own ships, but soldiers right down to armor and weapons and awe inspiringly destructive weaponry. If you managed to unite the whole galaxy it would show a epilogue that tells how your empire fared. Occassionaly you will find bizarre occurences: conjoined planets, aliens that can reproduce with humans etc. If you cruelly exploit these oddities then you become evil and the good races will unite and try to stop your juggernaught. If you are a peaceful trading empire that uses these oddities fairly then your allies will come to your aid.
