I found the first parts of Spore great, and I quickly went into space after playing it the first day. It was then I became bored. I dislike how the hardest part of a mission for me is actually finding the damn planet I have to go to. (If theres like some way to like, list all the planets and set a marker or something on it please let me know.) I also dislike the fact that I'm constantly having to run back to my homeworld to defend it from a minor attack and by the time I get there its somehow magically decimated even when I left every city turret spot filled with one. Now I expect to be attacked, I am a warrior nation, even though I've only made hostile moves against 1 civilization and for some reason now it seems like everyone except for my 1 ally hates me. I think the space combat is laughable, all I have to do is fly in a circle and use my laser and I'll only take damage from their missles.

Am I missing something in the space age or is this all that spore really is?

yeah thats pretty much it...the space stage could have been soo much better but they fucked it all up with that annoying save your fucking idiotic allies/planet every 2 seconds...

p.s. I guess it gets better once you move towards the center of the galaxy but I dont think i am every gonna get to do that cause I have to rescue something or save planet every minute..gets extremely annoying

Does anyone that was more socially centered have this problem?
