My introduction was the old Call to Power game. Still waiting for a Civ-like game that has a near-future age of gameplay. That was always the coolest part to me.
Feels like most of the similar games today are either historical/current or purely scifi. I like the transition point. To play out possible ways of advancing forward. How do we get from today to entering the stars? Those were fun scenarios to play out.
There's a couple of mods for civ that covers this I know, but they're all abandoned and somewhat buggy these days. Plus this sort of thing works best if the game is balanced around it to begin with.
