Disappointed with sci-fi themed games

I have read this sentiment in many other places. The developers over in Russia have a strong offering of space-sims; EVE, which I love/hate, Tarr Chronicles and Dark Horizon, etc), but they do not quite fit the bill. I am looking for a new Homeworld. EVE would have been perfect, if only..... I downloaded SEGA's "Space Siege" demo; the cinematic is awesome, loved it to pieces! But the gameplay... ylech! And a 15-minute demo at that, not even enough time to enjoy blowing things up with little Seth Walker. All these games have excellent cinematics; I really dig the big fleets battling each other, and even the side that has overwhelming technology - love it! I like to see how massive the scale is, little fighters panning alongside a gigantic cruiser. Starcraft really screwed up scale in a big way. *grin* I would love to see a game that is hybrid RTS/FPS, able to switch from the cockpit to the fleet HQ, and throw in some RPG to give some sense of accomplishment. The space-sim games out now focus so much on flying around in a impossibly strong, agile and fast single little fighter that can take out every single enemy known to man. DarkStar One was an interesting twist on this allowing your ship to grow (the RPG element hard at work here), but it so repetitive it was sad. I mean, here was an otherwise good game (great graphics, great execution), but it was like "go warp to system x and destroy all enemies", over and over again. Yes, I am simplifying and there are elements in that game that add to the story (and a fairly good story), but I could not shake the bad parts.

Another kicker is that the teasers and cinematics have such groovy, hard hitting soundtracks. Mass Effect was actually low on the totem pole for me, but had some very catch sci-fi sounding soundbytes and tracks.

If only EVE had a single-player element. Yet if I had that, I would want more out of EVE.... If only I could write games (I suck).....

At least our fantasy RPG and RTS games are good. Strange.
Funny how much like Warcraft Quake 3 is turning out to be. Ooops.
