Aside from MoO II, I've yet to be really entralled with any other space strat.
Yea MoO II, the choice of the Friesian cow, is my fav too. Fantastic game. The only part about it where it fails is in alliances. You really ought to have been able to park your ships in allied territory and vice versa so allies can actually aid one another. In fact alliances are a major pain in the butt as your allies are always wanting you to declare war on someone else and it messes up your plans. Best just to stay non-hostile with everyone in most cases. That's where Gal Civ 2 trumps over MO2, the diplomacy. You can really mess around with other races just by diplomacy means.
