What no Homeworld? If you haven't played it stop whatever the hell you are doing and run out to be buy it! I still fire it up from time to time, and after 4 years the graphics still amaze me!

Ja, Homeworld is a great game but it's essentially a linear, scripted RTS whereas I this thread is devoted to space strategy games of the empire building '4X' variety. 4X as in eXplore, eXpand, eXploit and eXterminate!
