Perhaps a civ game that starts out in the space stage ? I was thinking of that earlier but was unsure of how to make the jump off an even starting point, because at that point things like governments and technology and ideology and especially the species capabilities would already vary wildly. But it's crossed my mind more than once, so if you have a few ideas about it let me know

Perhaps you could do it like in Stellaris ? Allowing us to make up a basic goverment and then choose a few etho's. The starting point would be the discovery of FTL travel (I don't know what to do whith Pre-FTL colny's though. It's entirely plausibel for a species to have already colonised one of the planet's in their solar system withouat FTL. Maybe we could be allowed to start of with 2-3 planets ? Or you could just handwave it)

Fri example there could be 4 different types of habitable planets, and different types of government options. Stellaris is a good jump point, it will require a little tweaking but that would be cool. What does everyone else think for starting era? Space age or primeval?

I personally would prefer a primeval starting era, but I'd also accept a technology race in the space age.

Personally I think Space Age would be cool, becuase we don't really have any of these types of games that are in late-tech age (apart from one, but that one never took of). But that's just my two cents.
EDIT: If we we're to go with space-age, you should also think about 'racial abilties'.

I would prefer primeval as well, but a space age start would be fine with me.

At 6:2:2:1:1 I think the civ knock off has a solid lead and is the indisputable winner. So I'll try to type up the rules and basics and have the game set up by Sunday at the latest. Thanks everyone for your votes, I've been talking to some of the guys about their ideas and if you have any more to add in feel free. This game is for all of us so if you can think of something youd like to have in it I'd love to hear ideas!

What about it? Space age game or just getting to space age? If you manage to get the civ that far and none of the other players kill you all it means is another layer to the gameplay I think, more intracite and more resources and expense sure but still the same game
