I uplifted a species and they started with one colony/star system.  I allied them and had them attack people.  I basically went in and did all the hard work (took out turrets, ships, etc.) and then would leave so they could take the system for themselves. 

They started with 1 star and after having 30-40 systems, it never changed.  So I have no idea what that refers.

Something that I would like instead of Sporecast would be Buddy Groups.  These could be groups that contain a list of "buddies" that they can share on sporepedia so other people can use it.

Someone here on Gaming Steve (I forgot who) has a long list of buddies from Gaming Steve.  It would be nice if they could just put everyone in the group and say "Go here for everyone on Gaming Steve".

Has anyone allied with the Grox yet?  I've started the process trying to do missions for them, gifts, using the happy ray, and not firing back at them.  I have the Yellow Face and am about 10 points away from the next Face (Green I think?). and quit last night after dying for the 5th time while trying do missions for them.

Its really frustating that they attack you even when you are in the middle of trying to do missions for them to improve the relationship.

I've heard a few people discussing the different attributes and I think of two should be added, Quickness and Stamina.

Quickness is different than speed, and there are example in our animal kingdom of creatures that have one or both.

An example of animals that have speed but not quickness are bears, rhinos, elephants, etc.  Basically creatures that are larger and can't turn fast because of their size.

Many small animals such as different rodents are quick but not fast, meaning that they don't outrun their predators but are quicker than them.  I think this would allow you to build small herbivores that could survive against a fast large predator. 

I also think stamina is an important attribute because some animals can also make quick attacks, such as a alligator.  You should be able to have a creature that has a powerful quick attack using stealth but won't be able to chase after creatures if it doesn't kill on the first strike.

I think an Earth on Spore would look pretty sparse to us.  I don't think Spore will able to simulate all the different life that exists on Earth.

All you have to do is check the box under options:

{X}  No lame creatures

I think that the funniest easter eggs would be when you are searching using the SETI-like signal.  The radio tranmissions you could receive could be really funny.  Can you imagine if you were using that over a planet and you heard something like, "Nobody here but us chickens!"

If you look at the picture with all of the different creatures, I think one of them might be a floating creature.  It certainly doesn't like like it relies solely on those wings to fly.
