Its F2P (and F2download) so if you are into that type of thing give it a shot (and look me up )

What does it cost?
Does actual role-playing play into it much?

The core game is free. You pay for optional extras on a microtransaction basis.
Not sure what you mean by your second question but like most MMOs (WoW, Eve, GW2 etc etc) you can RP to your hearts content. There is a pretty linear character progression with the usual specialisation options (do you want to shoot big lazors or do you want to drop awesome mines etc etc).

I pretty much am a sucker for space based games, movies, science, etc. Via Steam's sale, I stumbled across Endless Space (2012 release) plus its new DLC that just came out a few weeks ago, for ~$12. It looks like a strategy game I could get into, so after watching some "Lets Play" youtube videos, I am hopping into it.

Interesting...I've not seen this one before. I may have to look into it.

I wasn't a fan of endless space. I found it to seem too much like Armada 2625. For what it's worth.

Have you played Masters of Orion (or Moo 2), by chance? You fast-posted my edit where I mentioned I thought it sounded like that game.

I dearly love the well-made Rogue-like games (I actually still play the original Rogue from time to time). I briefly looked at the Wiki for this, but it didn't explain things very well...how does the whole "pass on to your kids at death" thing work?

I too prefer Alpha Centauri. Of the Civs, I probably like #3 the best.

It's sort of MYST-esque in the fact that there's not much conveyance on how to solve the puzzles: it's almost all inference and noticing clues that are, really, in plain sight once you see them. The 2D in a 3D world was fun to mess around with and the soundscape is amazing.
Discount on Steam for $5, I believe.

I find it hard to expand your army, your Empire, and your tech at the same time, and If you optimize lets say on expansion through settlers, you are likely to get taken over by said neighbors (CPU's) which magically manage to do all of it at the same time Either that or I'm not playing the game right....
