Master of Orion and the prequels, you must survive and maybe conquer the rest of the galaxy. You must build facilities, ships on planets with differing resoruce potential. Once settled, you can discover technologies, and must watch out for enemy empires and pay attention to diplomacy, economics and resources. Ministers take care of micro-management tasks. The game is highly customizable, with attributes for most characters editable through text files, and a wide range of victory conditions available.

Trivia
Aaron Hall, the Space Empires series designer, points Starfire as one of his main sources of inspiration. Starfire is a board game that features ship combat at tactical level; it has also a set of rules in which you manage an empire, in a way similar to 4X games.
