The freeorion game is still in alpha stage (version 0.3 on a roadmap to 1.0) with many of its features still in development, so in order to have some more information I contacted freeorion and arranged for an interview with freeorion’s Programming Lead: Zach Lain

I thought this could be of interest to you guys Enjoy the interview I did at SpaceSector.com

This has been in development since BEFORE Master of Orion 3 was even announced.

 

Freeciv, a similar project, was well developed by that timeframe in its development.

This project will be finished by about 2020.

In my opinion you did a very good point and personally I also feel a bit that way. A MOO2 remake with better graphics, better AI and a few enhancements here and there could result in a very strong game sequel. The poll in SpaceSector.com "What's your favorite space strategy game of all time", with 62 votes by now, reinforces that MOO2 is the reference for space strategy games. FreeOrion however will not go on that path, as Zach said.
