And another:
Galactic Civilizations. Great SP game, intelligent AI, and just all-around FUN. Very addictive, too.
Also, Homeworld and Homeworld 2. Genre-defining 3D (true) space-based RTS. INCREDIBLE storyline that sucks you in and does NOT let you go. Once you're in, you are IN. HW is hard to find (used at EBX is your bext bet), but HW2 is a cakewalk to find, and cheap.
Arcanum would also be a good pick, but it's tougher to find. Still cheap though ($20).
Lastly, I'd suggest Black and White. You can get the Deluxe version for $20, and I hear the patch (for the original, anyway; Deluxe might be patched out of the box) fixed all the major glaring bugs. Very addictive, fun, and innovative game. Highly recommend trying it out.
