I suppose we can't say which is the best, but i wanted to keep the question short. 
 
Is there a particular Space-based MMo you are looking forward to? You may have noticed that there are quite a few major ones coming out this year, and im sure i missed some. Im excited for Black Prophecy, it seems like the type of MMO i want, not all about the dice rolls like EVE, but with a depth that is worth investing time in.

It's too soon. Jumpgate and Star Trek aren't even out, Old Republic isn't likely to come out until 2011 and Stargate is canceled.

Like i said, pick the one you are most excited for. 
 
And i can confirm that Lego: Universe, has some sort of space portion, just putting that out there.

@Mikemcn: started typing that post before you added that bit, haha.
I'd say Old Republic. As much as I freakin' LOVE Space sims, I want to see how Bioware handles a MMOG.

Last I heard of it, it was, but then that was a good while ago. I could be very wrong.

You heard wrong, it never got cancelled. It is, thought, delayed but if you take the time to go on their website, you'll see that its still alive and well, for now.

Yea, the studio had some serious debt issues, with people not getting paid for their work. I guess its till alive thoguh so cool.

I voted for STO just because I've been realy impressed with the space combat (ground combat too if the controlls weren't so clunky). Even though I had no interest in it at all untill i got myself a beta key.
 
I don't believe Old Republic will have any ship combat? And variety is always a plus.
 
And you know, I know basically nothing about all the other games.

This.  I think STO has been great as well.  I hope it'll work with an Xbox 360 controller. It looks like some of the game is set up to use one.

Why is Star Wars on the poll for 2010 when it isn't even out til 2011?  That's ridiculous. Talk about stacking the deck on the poll. You didn't give the other games a chance since SWTOR is the most over-hyped game since I can't remember when.

I'd like STO a bit more if the ground combat controls weren't horrible, and AI away team member pathfinding weren't so atrocious.  Actually, it'd be a decent game if they just got rid of the ground combat all together.

I was tempted to pick the I don't believe in Space option for pure humor.  But I'm going to go with SW:TOR.
 
@BlackCoffee:
I was in the same boat as you for KOTOR, so I decided to play through it.  I'm doing a little Endurance Run in my blog.  Just text and pictures no video, if you want to follow along for the story if you don't plan on playing it ever feel free!
