Something to play while waiting

Hiya, been lurking for a few months and preordered the game a few weeks ago (from gamestop, free shipping and the bonus windows skin pack thingy). While GalCiv sounds almost exactly like what I want I've been itching for a space conquest type game for a while so the final month was going to kill me, so I pulled out some old space conquest games (MOO2, IG2) but I wanted something new.
Well, I stumbled across a game I had heard of, but never bothered looking into: Starships Unlimited: Divided Galaxies. It's a perfect compliment to GalCiv, while GalCiv is all about empires, SUDG is all about starships and starship battles.

It's definately behind the times in graphics and sound but I played it most of the day yesterday and it was a blast. There's a demo online. They market is as a 4X game but it's really about starship configurations and combat, there is diplomacy and colonization and lot's of exploring but the focus of the game is definately not those (which is why it's a great compliment to GC).
It should tide me over until the end of march.
