Something along the lines of Crest of the Stars, Heroic Age, or Macross with Alien contact and big space battles.

Try Phoenix. It switches between anicent times and the distant future.

The only thing that I can think of that remotely fits your description is Shin Tenchi Muyo

Try Vandread and maybe cowboy bebop. I'd suggest you also check out the anime versions of these.
Don't only look straight, look also to the sides, usually the essential isn't in front of you, but beside you.

the Cowboy Bebop manga sucks ass. Skip it and if your interested watch the anime.

Vandread was good, if too short and rushed. A nice companion to the Anime.
I have the Bebop Manga and it does pretty much suck.
Nothing else mentioned is really what I'm looking for.
there are some gundam manga going around, but they are short and probably aren't what you are looking for...
This week's favorites:
ççççççç[Ô.Ô] tsutopodus© will eat your manga and steal your cats!
With gundams out of the question I've got nothing except a really old anime called Ninja Robots...

Have you read Lois McMaster Bujold's Miles books? Not manga, no, sorry, but what I think of when someone says space opera.
They say it's the thought that counts, but then they tell you, "The road to hell is paved with good intentions......"
Will no one scanlate Takahashi Miyuki?! T_T

Planetes is pretty good, if a bit less action, a bit more psychological...

The Five Star Stories is what space opera's are all about. Good luck finding scans though. Finding the real thing is hard enough.

The story "Memories" in the manga anthology Memories of Her... is Space Opera at it's best. It's scanlated and all, though I have an actual colored edition of it...
