Master of Orion II: Battle at Antares (MOO2) is a 4X turn-based strategy game set in space, designed by Steve Barcia and Ken Burd, and developed by Simtex, who developed its predecessor Master of Orion. The PC version of the game was published by Microprose in 1996, while the Apple Macintosh version was published a year later by MacSoft in partnership with Microprose. The PC version is still on sale as a download, and is still played online.
Master of Orion II won the Origins Award for Best Fantasy or Science Fiction Computer Game of 1996, and was well received, although reviewers differed about which aspects they liked and disliked. It is still used as a yardstick in reviews of more recent space-based 4X games.
Victory can be gained by military or diplomatic means. Major elements of the game's strategy include the design of custom races and the need to balance the requirements for food, production, cash and research. The user interface, which is mainly mouse-based but includes keyboard shortcuts, provides a central screen for most economic management and other screens that control research, diplomacy, ship movement, combat and warship design.

Oh, there seems to be a minor bug, possibly?
Whenever i play it sets my trackpad scrolling speed to 0, Its not real trouble to set it back, but its a little annoying to do it every time i play.

Yeah I think it's a issue with the Crossover X11 Server. No way of fixing it really except maybe using Apple Script to do something like:
Launch MOO2
GET MOO2 PROCCESSID
ON Proccess MOO2 END SET SCROLL SPEED
Woo! nice to see a non DOS version of this ... dare I ask if multiplayer works?
I preferred the DOS version over the Windows version myself; works great with DOSBox
