I am trying to remember the name of a game I played ages ago at a friends house all the time. This would have been around the year 1999 I beleive. It was a space turn based stratagy game, there were several alien races each with there own style of ships and bases to build. Research was done based on turns and time and I even remember that one of the alien races special ability was to finish any research in one turn or one day. If anyone can remember what this game was called I would really appreciate it.

    No, starcraft is real time strategy, this was more turn based.

    Was it based on like a planet, and you build bases and troops and whatnot there (i.e. like starcraft but turn based) or was it based in space, and you build ships and colonize planets and such?

    I was thinking maybe Space Empires (probably III since you said 1999).

    In any case... here's a giant list of turn-based strategy computer games

    Thank you so much. The game turned out to be Ascendancy.
