The Alpha Centauri IP is owned by Electronic Arts. Firaxis is owned by Take 2 Interactive. So no, I guess there won't be an Alpha Centauri 2 in the immediate future.
Still, there's always modding.
I guess this mean no alpha centauri 2.
Good! Alpha Centauri is the stupidest game in the history of video games!
If your looking for a good 4x space strategy game, Sins of a Solar Empire is good.
For someone who has never played SMAC, what made it so memorable?

I didn't like Sins either for same reasons. You should try Sword of the Stars. It has real time tactical combat, but the main game is turn based. A pretty good 4x space game. It just has the tendency to bog down towards the end when you play it on big maps and it puts more weight on multiplayer than I'd like.Sins is a little too "RTS-y" for me. Though I'd kill for an Updated MOO or MOOII (do not mention the "3" game, it does not exist in my reality)
no it's all about economics. the problem here is that, alpha centauri isn't seen profittable. if it was believed to be sold much, we would already have it. so we need to raise our volume to call for alpha centauri2.camarilla:
It's simple really. Sid/Firaxis/2K DO NOT OWN ALPHA CENTAURI! EA owns Alpha Centauri. EA do NOT want to make SMAC2. Sid/Firaxis/2K CANNOT make SMAC2 without a massive legal battle. Call it anything, even "Space Colonization" but if it resembles SMAC in any way it is breach of copyright and will bring the EA lawyers to bare (see Call to Power legal battles for precedent). You will NOT see a SMAC2 unless EA buys Firaxis, or EA buys 2K, or 2K buys EA.
SIMPLE! It has nothing to do with economics.
