Apparently one of the starting planets is pretty close. Something else is at the centre of the Galaxy, though I don't know what.

Evidently, if you've played the game as a invading carnivore up until the Space Stage, the game goes "oh, so thats the way you wanna play it?" and is extremely aggro.

MMC King of the wet little isle known as Britain Mar 2006 time: 20:32 06-09-2008 21:51 | www edit | quote #10 | report | Increase the size of your Attachments You get an achievement called 42 when you reach the center of the Galaxy... (It's not a secret... just look in the list of possible achievements and it'll tell you what you can gt them for) Haven't got there yet, because my planets were being attacked by empires from 2 sides and then there was the Grox and the Pirates who randomly appeared and attacked as well. The Space game is a very slimmed down game of Civ, complete with random demands for tribute, which can lead to war if refused. Oh, and the game is 'aggro' in the Space stage regardless of how you play. Oh, and I can confirm there is a pictures of Will Wright's head at the center of the universe. In the Creature Creator, at the main menu (Load or New) clcik in the center of the galaxy. That will clear away the interface (click the same spot again to bring it all back). Then click and hold the mouse in the bottom left corner and drag it as quickly to the right as you can... the Galaxy should spin, and if you get it fast enough, Will Wright appears. In the full game of Spore, you just get lots of little pictures of rest of the production team.

Rubin Moderator Datalinks Mar 2003 time: 21:32 18-09-2008 00:06 edit | quote #14 | report | Browse Apolyton AD-FREE I've reached the space phase on hard difficulty (civilization phase was silly hard due to a poorly timed save). I admit that I am not yet familiar with most of the space phase aspects, but the local star systems are becoming increasingly hostile, making everything frustratingly hard. How do you approach pirate raids and attacking races? How do you defend? When trying to defend a colony I get beeped about two other colonies being attacked. The aggressors strip away city defenses and my sole ally ship gets destroyed within a few seconds in every battle. I can kill the enemy ships by strafing, but not before the cities are completely destroyed and the colony lost. I've spent a few hours trying to recover in that game, but it's not looking good... Rebuilding partially destroyed cities are becoming very tedious. Any tips or mechanics that could help on hard difficulty warfare? ...and yeah, I'm allied with the "Skylarke" and we're getting whupped by the "Get In Ma Belly"... Grrr! (I'm going back to cell phase ) vovan Emperor Oct 2001 time: 15:32 18-09-2008 01:18 edit | quote #15 | report | Increase the size of your Attachments I've found the only way to deal with a war is to kill off the offending civilization entirely. Otherwise, they will keep attacking your colonies endlessly, and you won't be able to do anything else. Sometimes you'll take enough of theirs so that they offer peace, but then they'll declare again within the hour. To be fair, this is based on the first game I am playing, and I've been carnivore/hostile through every stage, so ymmv. Lambiorix_be Warlord Boechout, Belgium Feb 2001 time: 21:32 22-09-2008 17:44 edit | quote #16 | report | Support Apolyton, buy Civilization 2 I am a bit dissappointed about the space age. The only thing you are doing is fly on missions. You only have one ship (or fleet if you have allies) so you cannot defend your colonies and always have to get back to defend them. I don't seem to have time actually build up the colonies I created. I just had the annoying situation that for three times in a row the same colony was attacked by pirates. I killed them, zoomed out to go back on missions and got immediately again the message the colony was under attack (and I did defeat the first pirates because I received the 'wow, you're a true hero' message). I dealt with that attack too just to encounter the same message again when leaving the planet. My progress bar is a bit more then 50% filled but already I find it boring. I did like the other stages though... Anyone has the same idea or am I a loner on this subject Adagio Deity Jun 2001 time: 21:32 22-09-2008 17:48 edit | quote #17 | report | Suffering from ads? I'm with you on this one. Space age is too boring IMHO, whenever I reach space age I just restart the game. All you do in space age is fend of pirates who has an unlimited supply of space ships Hydro King Winfield, IL, USA Jun 1999 time: 20:32 22-09-2008 23:47 edit | quote #18 | report | Increase Your PM Length quote: Originally posted by Lambiorix_be You only have one ship (or fleet if you have allies) so you cannot defend your colonies and always have to get back to defend them.

I just got my first race to Civilized so I guess I'll find out if my Terror Monkeys rip the throats out of my neighbors and make it to the Space Age.
