Anyone have any info if such a beast is in the works? Will it be rolled into SMACX?

No real info, but a personal feeling:
no hope for "5.0" patch. Forget it.
SMACX is already supposed available at store for October, so Firaxis haven't time, nor human resource to work at another free patch.
SMACX, perhaps, will solve another bunch of bugs (as a real 5.0 patch) and introduce enough new features to let you happy to buy it (or may be not so happy ). Let me foresee: SMACX will rate at least 85% at major games magazine. No mention about past and current bugs. Lot of buyers, lot of cash. This's business.

what is SMACX? Is it an expansion pack? If so, why isn't it mentioned on the SMAC homepage? And where is it explained further?

SMACX is the expansion for SMAC. It has new factions, weapons, techs, etc. Unfortunately, this can only keep one occupied for a limited amount of time considering the fact that SMAC is nothing more than some "Mortal Kombat" game trying to pass itself off as a civ type game. (Grumbling) Stupid conquest over building strategy...
