Its already been confirmed that there will be underwater civs and creatures, and flying creatures. Also, submarines are supposed to be in the game, so I'm sure you can just attach a part to your UFO to make it water-accessible. Maybe an upgrade like the one that opens up black holes as a transportation system.

Alright, I got a UFO related question. Does the computer get it's own UFO too? Or is it just a players tool?

The Reason I ask is because Will said he didn't want to make it multiplayer so that some other player doesn't come along and ruin your game. But if the creatures pick up the habits a player sets for them, then what if a UFO of that player's creature has a habit or whatever you want to call it, to blow up planets? I mean, you might be out exploring the Galaxy and then your getting messages of a new species that just entered your solar system blowing up your home world and colonies.

Will has already said that the only NPC controlled UFOs will be fly-bys during the tribal stage. They will most likely just be an easter egg until you get your own UFO. I think I read something that said the only way to have the NPCs use UFOs was to provoke them enough.

Go to around 3:20 on the video, when the player's UFO leaves the planet it was recently attacking. It looks like one or more things are chasing it; heat-seeking missiles or enemy spaceships? Maybe space battles are possible..

Heh, I'm worried about that too Aut. I'm already lazy enough as it is(I once turned in a paper an entire semester after it was due, but still passed the class with a B ), its gonna be rough trying to concentrate on finals.

It sounds like EA has given Will the go ahead to take as long as he needs with the quote, "Don't screw it up" - basically giving him as much time as he needs to make it perfect. EA knows what Will can do(look at the Sims' sales) and I'm sure they respect him enough not to rush him. It will come out when its ready, just be patient.
