I always liked the Space Empires series. I haven't played the latest, V, but IV was very nice and quite adictive. Both IV and V are very customizable and there are a fair number of player created mods.
The AI in IV isn't that good, and if you let it run your fleet battles, it will lose fights you could win. Multiplayer in IV is either hotseat, or PBeM and it doesn't look like V has changed that.
It's still the standard I judge other 4X games by though.

It's is not, it isn't ain't, and it's it's, not its, if you mean it
is. If you don't, it's its. Then too, it's hers. It isn't her's. It
isn't our's either. It's ours, and likewise yours and theirs.
