One in his top 10 is Cosmic Encounter, I really recomend this one. It is easy to teach, quick to play and so variable. Great stuff, look up the dice tower review or Scott Nicholsons!
I'd point folk toward the up-and-coming Eclipse for a higher-end Hex based space game. One which promises to be not as long & complex as Twilight Imperium. You can custom design your own ships, as long as you've aquired the required research technology.
I'm not bothered by the 'thematic' aspect of the bases - there are ways to justify
such, like that each base level provides certain goods. The need for the most
basic goods supercedes the need for lesser ones, BUT, if multiple people can
provide the base, the luxories become more important.

I'd like to see a top 5 space games video also.
The closest I've come to playing a game like this is playing Twilight Imperium 3E and starfarers of catan.
Could you recommend other games like this with a space theme?
