My ideas don't fit your premise, but I really hope to see some of the following games made.
Imperialism 2 was one of my favorite turn based strategy games. I still play it today as its way better than Sid Meier's Colonization ever was. It really needs updated for modern operating systems and an improved combat model with ship battles would be awesome. Frog Studios folded and you might be able to get the rights rather cheaply. Heck you could probably change just enough of the entire model and just tag it with a new name, but then fans of Imperialism 2 might not know your game exists.
What happened to space combat simulators? There's been nothing for like 10 years. The first publisher that realizes this is going to make a mint, particularly if they buy the rights to say Wing Commander or Star Wars. Maybe everyone's waiting for the next gen systems in hopes that xbox and ps controllers have some motion controls like the Wii? I'm not into online play, but I'm sure an online space simulator would be a license to print money.
In terms of Space Combat Simulators, I was kinda hoping for a game like Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe. Not only was it a flight simulator, but they tried to develop a stategy portion to the game. I'd love a game where you had a strategy component and a play component. Your play can affect the outcome of one battle but if your overall war strategy was bad you could still lose.
First person shooters and platformers are all games every publisher is making nowadays, I want to play something different or something that harkens back to the 90's PC games.
