I highly recommend VGAP4 (VGA Planets 4).

http://www.vgaplanets.com/v4beta.htm

Like WITP it is a large game. Large in area and number of units, and large in length of game. It is an economic and diplomatic game (as well as having battles, trading, technology swapping).

It is only playable vs other players (unlike WITP). Games tend to have about 10 players, have about 2-3 email turns per week, entire game lasts 3-10 months.

Many different races with entirely different "personalities" (all out attack races, defensive mine laying races, rob-you-blind races etc etc etc)

You can download a sample version for free (which limits you to lower technology but lets you play online). There is a large community to give advice and to play against.

Someone should convince Matrix to buy the old X-COM, make it run on windows XP, and update the graphics. Such a good game

Altar is still turning out XCOM's spiritual sucessors. They've switched to a simultaneous turn-based system that runs in real-time, but it's still fun and if they bring back the base building and stuff collecting aspects, it will be as good as the originals.

Also be on the lookout for Space Empires V by malfador machinations!
Should be out by the end of 2005.
