I know Spore wasn't everyone's cup of tea but I think this new expansion will reinvigorate it for me. :) I hope they improve the management of many colonies because it was annoying having to jet back across the void to cure some sort of disease - even when you've tooled up the planet with all the disease killing stuff.

The whole space civilisation thing where you have a hundred planets but for some reason only one space ship maybe two if you begged your allies was a bit odd especially since the normal defenses were shit meaning you had to constantly fire fight to get anywhere. I hope those issues will be fixed in the expansion.
Anyway as is customary I will now hijack this thread to go on about the new sins of a solar empire expansion "entrenchment" now available from those magnificent bastards at stardock ... well maybe later :S
Will definately take a look at this... the ability to further my WANG civ is much appreciated.
Spore has also got a data API to get at the creatures online. Not sure how useful this might ever be but it would have taken a fair amount of effort and might just open up some cool apps from some bright sparks. Offworld article
