Re: Space strategy games

What PC games would you guys recommend for strategic space colonization? I'm in the mood to play a Civilization/Sim City type game in space, what have you found to be good games?

I've heard of the following at least:

Master of Orion series
Space Empires series
Galactic Civilizations series

Do any space colonization games feature any of the following features:

* Colonizing moons, asteroids and building orbital/Lagrange colonies or mobile arks/generation ships (not just colonizing planets)
* Terraforming planets from one environment to another (ferrying gas from one planet to another in huge tanker ships, building solar collectors/solar shades et al)
* Accurate to reality star charts (Alpha Centauri being closest, then Barnard's Star, then Wolf 359, etc), with correct stellar data for each star
* Implementation of habitable zones/calculation of planetary temperatures based on distance from star
