You think maybe this might get a little biased?

We have a lot of new people here, and I just wanted to gauge what people thought.

Strange Adventures in Infinite Space is currently #2 for me.

If you like SE4 Tactical Combat, and micromanaging very small (1-3 ships in the demo) fleets, or are just looking for quick jolts of Space Exploring Action, grab the demo, and then try my little mod for it. (zip, 31kb)
It seems to me that this game is the mathematical complement to SE4; 20 minute games, micromanaging tiny fleets, searching for treasures to bring home.

Combat gets played out in realtime, but you can pause whenever you want to give new orders and inspect all the ships. There is also a double-speed option, which I use fairly often.
Of course, combat isn't the priority, but when the aliens are guarding ruins technology, you have to make a choice
