FreeOrion is a free, open source, turn-based space empire and galactic conquest (4X) computer game being designed and built by the FreeOrion project. FreeOrion is inspired by the tradition of the Master of Orion games, but is not a clone or remake of that series or any other game.

Personally I played Master of Orion 2 to death, even picked it up again in recent years with dosbox so this project is of great interest to me!

The new version
looks great too, Key Changes since v0.4.2 February 2013:
  • Shields now reduce damage, and all new shield & armor content
  • Many fixes and improvements to the AI
  • Detailed combat log display
  • Numerous GUI tweaks and improvements
  • Galaxy Generation is now based on a editable random seed
  • New clouds and nebulae on empty systems and moving around the galaxy.
