Talk:Spore Galactic Adventures

I have seen a trailer in which you see tribal buildings. It was about running in the desert. Hope that helps! ~GFGGamer (To lazy to log in...)

Has the replacement of Hologram Scout been confirmed? I'm pretty sure that should still be "Speculation." Adeori 18:22, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

thats just speculation, sorry 4 the mistake 159.250.29.4 19:27, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

I have a question. Will you be able to go down onto any planet all the time, or will it only be available for the missions? If it is a "sandbox" game, you should be able to go down whenever you want, too. Adeori 21:09, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

you can get out of your spaceship anytime you want. 159.250.29.4 18:43, 30 January 2009 (UTC

Gas Giants
You can't colonize a gas giant; there's no land. They don't call it a gas giant for nothing. Tie-Dye Jeans 20:02, 14 December 2008 (UTC)
 * I hope you noticed you can make a colony orbit a Gas Giant. TimeMaster 20:13, 14 December 2008 (UTC)
 * There is land on gas giants, the reason that they can't be colonized is due to the high pressure from the excessive atmosphere. 20:24, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

A rare glitch has been discovered where Gas Giants are colonized by other empires, and White spice is shown in the planet's description. I expect that this bug will be addressed, but I don't expect the opportunity to colonize a gas giant.

As it is a rumour, I doubt if the expansion would include colonies on Gas Giants. It would look cool with swirling storm clouds, but there would'nt be much variety because most Gas Giants look very similar in Spore. Also you can colonize Gas Giants but you cannot collect or buy any White spice. Wormulon 18:34, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

But, if you want to go trough a wormhole, with its enormous gravity it must crush you, why can`t you go to a Gad Giant, with is much smaller pressure?

i belive that the wormhole key is the reason for this, it allows you to travel through a black hole without getting crushed. maybe something to allow you to colonize gas giants. Also i think that it is appaling that gas giants will occasionly be replaced with adventure planets as it makes it feel less like space. maybe adding a whole new planet from the blue would be better~hex

Galactic Adventures Stuff
In the article it says that you will have the ability to go to the planet as a creature twice, the first time cinfidently, the second time, not so confidently:
 * Little is known about the expansion pack, but one of its new features will be the ability for your Creature to move around outside the UFO


 * It is also said you can move about in your UFO, and that your creature will be able to travel on a planet, without using the hologram scout.

Could this be clarified and the redundant sentance taken out?--87.254.87.214 23:50, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

Well some could be like planet Te from the halo series, an apparent gas giant that will crush you with the immense thickness of the atmosphere but colonizable because ther is a terrestrial surface underneath 159.250.29.4 15:26, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

More Gas Giants
Guys, guys, guys. I think what they mean is a floating colony that orbits the gas giant, not a planet. That would be cool, I don't see why there's pushback.

It would be cool to have a floating colony around a gas giant. But perhaps you could visit a gas giant like you would with galactic objects. Also it might be possible to visit gas giants for real, and some have speculated about having areostats ect. Wormulon 18:02, 7 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Even if they do make a floating colony in a gas giant, the questions are: how do you land your character on it? And what about the resources, what would be the sole purpose of colonizing a gas giant? I say a floating creatures would be nice (like Carl Sagan's hypothesis). Kelvino 03:29, 7 February 2009 (UTC)


 * I envision a floating city above the most hazardous gasses, or a sort of biosphere. It's certainly not out of the league of possibility. And being a gas giant, gasses could be harvested for any use of things... But then again, adding a new resource is a whole 'nother league. I think it could be done, with white spice as the prime resource. I mean, it even has it's own tooltip! Generally developers don't give glitches detailed information. Novawolf 04:21, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

Its a glitch where you put a colony on a gas giant and get White Spice

Isn't the name of Spore Space Adventures, Spore Galactic Adventures? Perhaps the page should be renamed? Wormulon 21:36, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

If you ally with the grox can you take them to planets if there in you crew?--Frozgor 10:12, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

I've been thinking about the whole gas giant colony thing... what about a space station in orbit around them?

why are the 2 menus in the wepons on the video?There is two becuase there are parts fo the origanl game and the second catgory is for the weopons added in with the expansion.

We will probably find out, but the 2nd menu might be pickup objects such as grenades (watch one of the videos on the page). Wormulon 21:34, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

The second menu is probaly were you can accses the new parts, just like in creepy and cute. (Armageddon11(DANIELSJ14) 00:45, 14 February 2009 (UTC))

The weapons icon is not in normal Spore. I think it's social weapons and attack weapons. Looking in the Comic-Con video, this makes me think this is the case. >tmy2u 16:50, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

Seems you can enter buildings: http://forum.spore.com/jforum/posts/list/18527.page (read down a bit to where MaxisCactus is quoted. BalLightning 08:07, 14 February 2009 (UTC)

Should the part about the flora editor be taken out since maxis said it wouldn't be in it?Omnipotentdracoptyx 15:49, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

We should keep the plant editor but state that it is not in the expansion. Players will be able to choose new flora. Wormulon 16:22, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

All the vehicle editors have a couple of extra menus in some part palettes. Maybye they added an extra menu because there were lots of things to do in the expansion so you need lots of different gear with special abilities. The button that switches to the next menu is the same as the first menu button. The buttons are from the same game,but this time they added a switch menu button along with an arrow at the bottom like they've decided to do in all the patches and expansions. Also,you'll notice that the creature weapons palette has the least parts in the entire creature editor(The cell and early creature editor has less parts though,and there are only three limbs in the early creator.),even after all the patches and expansions. EA and Maxis may just also have wanted to give us a second chance at getting in the lots of different varieties of weapons we don't get in creature stage. You can into and onto buildings,which must mean we'll finally get to go into cities as a creature. You can also make buildings float,which means you can can climb onto roofs and jump,too. Sounds fun. The graphics will get better,and apparently we'll also get to make MUCH cooler buildings,vehicles and spacecraft.we can drive land vehicles and spaceships,but it is unknown if we can pilot anything else. There are some new ability meters in the Captain Outfitter,which include an extra speed bar,two extra health bars and a big blue meter that I don't know the use of. Maybye a strenth meter. You'll be able to interact deeper with other creatures in space instead of them just running in fear of you trying to attack your hologram.By the way,the hologram is not only a scouting tool,but also for retrieval. If you walk your hologram up to a rare,some sporebucks dropped from a destroyed spaceship,or a crate of spice,you can move it around(This is the ONLY thing holograms can physically affect.)and also,if you wait a moment,the item will shrink into nothingness and drop into your cargo hold.The hologram,with some tribes,cities,crop circles,water,terrasculpting tools,creature creator,tweakers and some epicizers,is the most entertaining thing I've seen in the space stage. Galactic Adventures will change all that.Anyway,Galactic Adventures promises to be REALLY AWESOME,and I'm looking forward to it. Unless,of course,the final game ends up being cut until it sucks beans like what happened to Spore in the first place.Hopefully the real game will be as good as the demo. Yep. That just about sums it up.(Furby98 18:18, 22 February 2009 (UTC))

Yeah I'm pumped! This is gonna be epic! [Get da hint?] Nikacho 19:38, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

All I can say, is that this had better be good, or else. [No, I don't get the hint. ;)] tmy2u 22:27, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

What's bugging me is this: Do you think the simple missions like quickly fetching a plant or creature or collecting scattered rares will be replaced by complex adventures?I mean,they should keep the simple stuff in.It's nice having quick missions that you can easily get over with so you can do more important things,and it would be great if there were other cool missions that you could do every now and then added on so you could get up to some adventuring and fun when you want to.They said there were no changes to the normal gameplay,so they probably aren't going to take anything away.Just add on.[And I get the hint Nikacho. That's the button you press when you want to basically say"Yep.We're allies.Now I'd like to leave the communication screen,so farewell.] (Furby98 21:22, 24 February 2009 (UTC))

A few nights ago, I had a dream that the second menu was not there. Mr. Serious 19:13, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

Delay
is it realy only coming out in may?ihope not because that would mean waiting longer to see whats in it.


 * Unfortunatly yes, it was delayed. OluapPlayer 16:57, 25 February 2009 (UTC)


 * It was delayed in the US. Wormulon 19:31, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

I wonder why they would delay it.How can it be delayed in the US but not in the other countries becuase it ships from the US?--196.2.124.252 10:26, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

Where does it say its delayed?Omnipotentdracoptyx 14:24, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

Because it's a unknown gaming rule that all good games come out first in Japan. As for Europe, they decided to feel nice and release it there first, while we get a new feature or something. >tmy2u 22:29, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

I don't think you are getting a new feature.I think there working out marketing strategies or something like that.the game is already made.--196.2.124.252 05:25, 27 February 2009 (UTC)


 * So has it been delayed worldwide? The release date on Gamespot UK has been changed to May, and also IGN says May. Had a brief look on the official site and couldn't see anthing about a release date either way. Ҵїҫэӌ Ҭӈә Ѕҥїʐʐɻє 18:46, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

Have a look at this: http://sporedum.net/2009/02/27/a-sporedum-exclusive-looking-into-galactic-adventures/ BalLightning 19:12, 27 February 2009 (UTC)

What? They said that you can only beam down during missions,not anytime you want.That sucks.Has it even been confirmed? Adeori's right. If it's supposed to be a 'sandbox' game,we should be able to beam down whenever we want,not be denied a deeper interaction with the game in space as a creature. If it is true,then,of course,the Hologram Scout would have to be left in so we would still be able to explore the planets surface on foot if we aren't doing an adventure. Anyway,please post something here if you find out anything new or interesting,or have any ideas or speculation about Galactic Adventures. I'm just dropping by,so I won't log in,but I am Furby98. (196.25.255.218 19:19, 1 March 2009 (UTC))

If so, then BallLightning and other modders will change it so that you can beam down whenever. >tmy2u 20:40 1 March 2009 (UTC)

I've looked at some of the in-game screenshots for Galactic Adventures,and I've noticed that there seems to be a few new Maxis-made plants.Are there,or is it just the original plants,but I don't recognize them from the game?I sometimes have problems logging in when I'm low on Net-time,so I cannot log in now,but you might know me here and in game as Furby98.(198.54.202.218 19:15, 3 March 2009 (UTC))

So now its June. Why. Omnipotentdracoptyx 01:11, 4 March 2009 (UTC)

There will be new flora in the expansion, not a flora editor. And we don't know the why for the delay, however they are still working on it in the studios. BalLightning 10:26, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

It seems that you can keep pets in this expansion. That might be nice,if you can feed it,play with it,socialize with it,take it with you wherever you go,fight other creatures with it and all that stuff. Of course,it's a bit more likely to suck like pets in tribe stage.They just sit around sleeping in a pen,just being casually lame,they'll lay an egg every there and then,sometimes kill people who try to attack you,but basically suck all round.But still it's a nice new concept and I'm REALLY looking forward to this game!When I read this article http://sporedum.net/2009/02/27/a-sporedum-exclusive-looking-into-galactic-adventures/ and also looked at it's screenshots,I TOTALLY HYPED OUT!One way or another,I'm gonna love this expansion.I won't log in right now,but you may know me as Furby98.PetPower!(196.25.255.218 20:02, 5 March 2009 (UTC))


 * Pets? That's AWESOME! OluapPlayer 21:57, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

More Delay
The UK gamespot page says March 20th, and the US one says June 23rd, why there's such a large gap between the two releases confounds me. There's nothing at all on the official Spore site to indicate when it's due, not even a rough date, all we have is the "coming this summer" at the end of the gameplay trailer, which is a pretty ambiguous statement.Ҵїҫэӌ Ҭӈә Ѕҥїʐʐɻє 18:33, 6 March 2009 (UTC)

I don't mind if the delay is to add more features or to make sure it works correctly, but if I find out the delay is for "marketing strategies", "to increase hype", or worse, "to show it at a game conference" when people could be playing it, rather than hearing about it, i'll be very angry. (the last is what Brawl's 2nd delay was for) Omnipotentdracoptyx 14:36, 7 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Usually with EA it'll be time for fixing bugs, which upon fixing will introduce new bugs, meaning not only will we get a delayed game but it'll still be full of bugs and need serveral patches to rectify. Either that or they're removing as much content as possible so we get less for our money, meaning they can put it in future expansions and charge us even more. Ҵїҫэӌ Ҭӈә Ѕҥїʐʐɻє 17:56, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

Maxis is still working on the expansion, and therefore it is definitely not ready for people to play it. Many of the features like driving, cutscenes and others have not been shown yet, only talked about, most likely those are teh ones which are still getting worked on. BalLightning 03:45, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

BalLightning@ I don't remember reading anything about being able to drive vehicles. Do you happen to have a quote or a link? Kaploy9 21:40, 8 March 2009 (UTC)


 * So Gamespot UK now says June 26th. Seems like a silly move by EA, since a lot of the Spore community are also fans of the Sims and will probably buy the Sims 3 instead. Then again EA makes a lot of silly moves.Ҵїҫэӌ Ҭӈә Ѕҥїʐʐɻє 13:09, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

Is the delay just for the preordered games since preordered games are often delayed, and can it still be bought in stores on the 17th of March? Wormulon 15:47, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

I don't see why a preordered game would come later than it's released in the shops, it kind of defeats the point. Generally preordered games come on release day or possibly a day or so before. IGN is saying May 19th as the release date.Ҵїҫэӌ Ҭӈә Ѕҥїʐʐɻє 17:02, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

Again Galactic Adventures Stuff
Heres to lines about Vehicles:

From IGN:

It's not just creatures that can be placed, as both buildings and vehicles can also be utilised. Populating the world finally creates a use for the wealth of user-generated content that's in existence, lending some of the more lovingly created buildings or vehicles a purpose.

From Gamespot:

The game is currently still in alpha, and the team is looking to include yet more features before launch, such as the ability to edit other creators' adventures, a classification system in Sporepedia for adventures (difficulty, age rating, type of adventure, that sort of thing), and possibly the ability to drive vehicles in the game.

What does that have to do with galactic adventures!?--41.0.16.45 13:30, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Yeah, usually diplomat or bard or any other social empires will gift and try to ally you. But a 10,000 gift isn't much really considering we have to pay millions for peace. Or the cheaper alternative; conquer their systems until they surrender.Ҵїҫэӌ Ҭӈә Ѕҥїʐʐɻє 23:36, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

Will the rest of your species look different from your captain and can he have his own name? and will the new tools actually be separate or just give spit, pose, etc? Omnipotentdracoptyx 13:09, 20 March 2009 (UTC)


 * I think you can name your captain and maybe even others posse members in custom scenarios, also i'm pretty sure the weapons have their own category, how it will fit in to normal gameplay though is beyond me, that's if it does at all.

As the year edges on,we come closer and closer to the day of Spore's vindication. When Galactic Adventures comes out,Spore will no longer be considered some lame,simple kiddie game that is silly and sucks. Everyone will want the game after the expansion. A new spark of interest will ignite,and we will take our enjoyment to a whole new level! I'm looking forward to it LOTS! Spore shall become one of the mighty Great Golems Of Gaming! Hurrah! (Furby98 17:45, 20 March 2009 (UTC))

I do not think Spore is a kiddy, silly game, although Spore could do with a bit more gameplay and the stages could be longer. Wormulon 19:44, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

Actually i'm not really looking forward to GA that much, especially if it's true you can only beam down on scenario planets, sounds like a bit of an anticlimax to me. Of course if these rumours aren't true, or if EA pull their finger out and give us some ideas on what we can expect, then i'd be appeased. If I don't like the look of it closer to the release date i'll probably get the Sims 3 instead, although i'm not really very impressed with that either. Ҵїҫэӌ Ҭӈә Ѕҥїʐʐɻє 20:27, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

BalLightning 06:08, 21 March 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the link,BalLightning. There was some good information there about the integration of captains and missions into the online universe. I put them down on the main page with Known Content. You can earn badges for getting record scores on missions and lose them when someone beats your score,so that means a new kind of online competition. Also,your mission stats and captains are previewed on your Spore page,so people can see how you're doing on your missions and you can compare your captains,perhaps opening up some opportunities for 'Best Captain' competitions too. We're learning more and more,and there are probably still many cool features yet to be revealed. I was sorta losing interest in the expansion,and I was almost going to stop looking into it and just wait for it to come out because I didn't think we'd learn anything more,but there's still alot of things to find out before it comes,and I can't just sit back and not know. If there's any cool news on what's going to be in the expansion that will get me excited,I want to know about it so I can always stay excited and interested. Also,I went to Area51 Paintball today for a party. It was pretty fun,and it was the first time I ever played paintball as well. Does anyone here play paintball? Anyway,I don't want to stray off the subject,so bring in any good pieces of Galactic Adventures information that you might find. END TRANSMISSION (Furby98 12:13, 21 March 2009 (UTC))

Now its June again... But you can beam down to any planet. It will be worth the wait. And why is the flora editor in speculation? i thought it was confirmed out. Omnipotentdracoptyx 12:28, 21 March 2009 (UTC)

When the Spore GA expansion is released we should create a content database for our captains. Wormulon 14:02, 21 March 2009 (UTC)


 * OK, so now i'm a little hyped up about it, now they mentioned that perhaps the missions will be intrinsic to space stage, rather than just a standalone editor and such. Ҵїҫэӌ Ҭӈә Ѕҥїʐʐɻє 14:37, 21 March 2009 (UTC)

Good idea Wormulon. I'm sure a captain database would be interesting. We can catalog a whole lot of cool captains and we'll be able to see some of the good ideas Sporewiki users got with the new ways to put together all the creature,clothing,armour and weapon parts. By the way,Viceman,what do you mean? Could you put it a little simpler for us? Okay,done. "Up,up and away!"(Quote from a creature with Level 5 flight.) (Furby98 16:27, 24 March 2009 (UTC))

I like the new images! Two apparently show an Epic Tribesman fighting the hero! This expansion is getting more and more interesting. So many weird and awesome concepts are being put into the game! This will definitely be a memorable moment in gaming history. There is even an image of a captain walking around near a city on a 'blank' world. Everything was white. And these are USER CREATED planets! There are even shoes! Not just a hat or shoulder plate placed on the foot,but actual armour specially for the feet! It'll be so SUPER DUPERISHLY WIZZING MEGALONIC AWESOMELY COOL!!! Yep,I'm hyped. I'm so loving this expansion,I'll faint after an overdose of excitement and joy when I get it! Any more GA info,anyone? (Furby98 13:41, 25 March 2009 (UTC))

Thanks for that link BalLightning. I actually found that interview last night while surfing and I read it but decided to put it on Sporewiki the next day,but thanks for putting it in for me. That interview was the best source of GA information yet! It gave us a lot of new and cool facts and really cleared up a few questions! I'll be filling in the rest of the information now in Known Content,and maybe ask a few questions of my own. GA rocks! (Furby98 13:45, 27 March 2009 (UTC))

Tentacle Thing
Hey,look at this! I went to Spore.com and I found this image. It is definitely the owner of the the tentacle that can be seen holding the furry brown humanoid on the box cover. In this picture some of one of the creatures tentacles are cut off at the side of the image,and the creature is looking to side,toward the cut off tentacle,and toward the creature it's holding. Evidently a cut off piece of the cover. As for the people that say the tentacle must be a new creature part,the interviewers weren't lying when they said that the expansion would definitely not affect any other stage besides space,including any additional creature parts. The tentacle is just an ordinary limb without an appendage on the end. But don't discount any speculation. You never know what they could throw in at the last minute. (Furby98 16:52, 28 March 2009 (UTC))


 * This tentacled creature also appears in the back of the expansion's cover. OluapPlayer 00:45, 2 April 2009 (UTC)


 * The tentacle is not the only evidence for new parts, one of the new images shows what might be a cape, and just look at the medusas tale in one of the vids.   Wormulon 11:30, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

Yeah,I found the image of the front and back covers of the box yesterday,and I saw the creature in the image to the right,so yes,it is part of the front cover image. Also,if there's a kind of cape available,then the speculation over new clothing is actually fact,but first we need some confirmation and a bit more detail. They say that there won't be new creature parts,and it's probably true,but what if the new,enhanced graphics will allow for better manipulation of the existing parts using the morph handles? Anything could happen. (Furby98 16:59, 2 April 2009 (UTC))


 * Well, we will find out when the expansion is released. Another reason to look forward to it!!!!    Wormulon 18:52, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

Galactic Adventures:News,Links,Talks And Other Info
Okay guys,we need to be on the lookout for any information on GA. I'll look through the Sporum and see if I can find anything. (Furby98 22:26, 6 April 2009 (UTC))

I'll be keeping Sporedum up to date, as i visit all the fansites and i'm a moderator on the sporum, so you can just check over there if you want news updates. BalLightning 03:10, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

We should scan the web everyday for new information. Check all the fansites.Oh and also find out why it's being released so late.--196.2.126.113 06:57, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

Alright! We have three new images. One shows another creature in the captain editor,and another shows the same creature standing on a stage set in the middle of this big 'modern style' city,with supermarkets and brick apartments and freshly laid tar roads. I also noticed that on this planet several types of sentient alien life forms were walking around the city living in harmony. That's new,considering that in the current Spore different species from different empires will not live together in peace on one colony. The only way in the current Spore to get species from separate empires is to abduct them and beam them down into another empires city against it's will. Although when you do,the abducted colonist will go raving mad and eventually die of heart attack or something,and sometimes every single one of the colony's turrets will all converge on the alien colonist all fire at him together. Okay,so you can enter buildings,but you have to create the inner building yourself. The stage the blue creature is standing on was created in the building editor,you can clearly see that. I reckon we should start making special buildings for our adventures now and prepare. You can make the inside look like whatever you want. Just build it. Anyway,the last building shows a purple creature(Which is shown being outfitted in the captain editor in one of the earlier images)wearing a jet pack landing on the top of a stone set of steps leading to some sort of temple place. I'm going to start creating for this expansion! Anymore information on the expansion would be appreciated! :) (Furby98 10:02, 10 April 2009 (UTC))

Question
Can you size vehicles down to creature size? Up to epic size? Omnipotentdracoptyx 13:43, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

Yes, you can change the size of almost everything, as it is stated in the interview. Wormulon 14:42, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

Back To The Subject
Well i've found 2 new screenshots: http://sporedum.wordpress.com/2009/04/18/ga-2-new-screenshots/ BalLightning 05:43, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

Thanks,I've uploaded them. One of them can give us our first idea of a small battle. (Furby98 10:45, 19 April 2009 (UTC))

Here is a interview i did about Galactic Adventures: http://sporedum.net/2009/04/21/sporedum-exclusive-questions-about-galactic-adventures/

BalLightning 06:10, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the link. Apparently the expansion still needs quite a bit of work,and it might not be as good as we expected it would be,but it says that Maxis and EA realized that players were disappointed with the gameplay,but the everybody was immersed in the creating part,and they enjoyed that most,so now they've decided to give us what must be the best thing ever,the ability for us on our own to create the very gameplay itself. That way we can get improved gameplay by customizing it ourselves according to what we want,thus allowing us to play the perfect game according to how we personally would like it,and giving a whole new zest to the creation game. It's all going to be worth it, I'm sure. If anyone has some more info,please tell us about it and fill it in on the main article. Furby98 11:47, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

On EA's Official Website, the rabbit thing caught in the tenticle has "batboy" ears. Omnipotentdracoptyx 23:04, 24 April 2009 (UTC)

I think I saw some new pictures on spore.com--196.2.126.114 06:10, 25 April 2009 (UTC)

Doesn't the creature in the tentacle on the cover have Elfinmagic ears? Anyway,didn't you read the title? It's BACK TO THE SUBJECT,so let's talk about the actual subject. Also,check out the two new panoramas on spore.com,they're really cool! Guess what,they show us that one of the things being shipped with the game is a health pack! It has a metal base on the ground,and that metal base projects a green holographic image of a +. Is that cool or what? Then it shows another thing,only it's red with another icon. It even shows the hero,who is green and has jumped up into the air, and there is an army of big blue and red lizards snapping up at him like pirahnas, and behind the lizards is an epic size bipedal lizard thing,perhaps the leader,or a "boss". There are assorted simple blue creatures standing on a few scattered pedestals. And in the next panorama the hero is in the middle of this big place,surrounded by huge,old fashioned walls. There are epics standing around in the corners and apparently,you can even place rares wherever you want! There were big blue crystals,exactly like the ones you find in space stage as rares. This keeps getting more interesting and cool! MORE INFO! Furby98 14:02, 25 April 2009 (UTC)

Check out this link to an IGN interview! It's got lot's of useful information, and plus, here's something that'll excite you! The answer to the question to if the Grox will appear at all was that they won't. But it's wrong! . They WILL! You can fight a Grox army! THAT. IS. COOLNESS!!! Somebody needs to fix all of the main articles content NOW! Also, there are lots of cool new images! CHECK IT OUT! Furby98 18:31, 29 April 2009 (UTC)

Grox
I think there will be 2 two versions of a Grox hero. A normal one and one in a "space suit" that is automatically switched to on T1+ planets. Omnipotentdracoptyx 22:49, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, that's what I thought too. A survival suit could be a possibility. A creature from the actual Grox Empire should have to wear a special suit on T1 and up planets to facilitate their special needs, and if an adventure planet can be T0, the Grox don't need suits but other creatures do. I wonder if the Grox survival suit will be made of special parts that are locked into the core game files like the Grox vehicles, buildings, colonies and the Grox creature, with it's special parts are. Maybe the Grox may even also have special weapon and ability Captain parts that are also locked in. The hackers from Sporebase will probably be able to hack these special parts out if they exist. Check out the 15 new images in this article. They really give us a new insight into the expansion .It was mentioned in the IGN article that the interviewer played an adventure that included the Algernon empire, a Maxis made space creature that already exists in the original game, asking for help to stop a Grox invasion. It was said that there were Grox troops, and that they were infesting the planet. I changed the article to say that the Grox CAN appear in adventures in some way. I'd like to keep discussing this, let's talk about it. Furby98 10:53, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

I have quite an important question: they say that when dragging the normal Grox into a GA mission, they can't survive on T1 or up planets. My question is: if I download the Mod, and save a creature identical to the Grox, can they survive on T1 or up planets (and not on T0)?????? (Please help: I would really like to use the Grox in my missions once I get the expansion!!!) Problemmaker 19:23, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

Your modded Grox creatures will be able to survive on any Terrascore, because technically they are not the actual Grox, and so do not have the special toxicity. Furby98 10:02, 30 May 2009 (UTC)

And Planets?
Sorry, I had a momentary confusion

--Fedelede 16:57, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

What do you mean? The expansion won't stop you from visiting other normal planets. You can still do all those things on other planets, so I don't get what you're talking about. Furby98 20:22, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

An expansion pack adds things, and does not remove them, hence the name expansion! Wormulon 18:12, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

Yes, I think you found out about the fact that you could only go down to adventure planets(Meaning that you can only beam down captains to adventure planets, not any other) and mistook it for a statement that you can only visit adventure planets. They mean that the flesh-and-blood captain will only be able to go down to adventure planets, but you can still visit other planets in your ship. Furby98 18:17, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

Yes, that. Thanks, Furby98 --Fedelede 22:50, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

Thanks! I uploaded them. We're getting lot's of cool new images lately. Furby98 14:30, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

Maybe instead of all the videos there taking up alot of the page, maybe link to my site which has all the videos and more: http://sporedum.net/spore-expansion-galactic-adventure/spore-expansion-galactic-adventures-videos

BalLightning 21:14, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

I think we should create a gallery with most of the images and vids, why not? Space stage (as well as some other pages) has its own gallery! Wormulon 21:24, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

Really
The "Unsolved Questions" section really needs to be claened up. Many of the comments are redundant, obvous, or pointless. 72.35.116.241 19:34, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

I agree, some of these questions already can be answered for. Wormulon 21:04, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

Hey, does the installation erases saved games? Is that it happens in some expansions. Please respond:

--Fedelede 23:41, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

I don't see why that would happen, the expansion only adds things, and does not remove them, have you read the sporeday community interview, that has lots of infomation for Spore Galactic Adventures and how it intergrates into the game. Wormulon 08:54, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

Just a small note of praise...
Just want to say this: It looks like this is going to be a very cool expansion pack. In my opinion the space stage was a bit underpolished in some of it's areas..... This looks like its going to fix all that and make it VERY awsome

Heres to Maxis for making a great expansion pack.

By the way does anyone know the release date?

23rd in June for the US, 26th of June for the rest of the world. Wormulon 08:51, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

I had a GA dream
I dreamed I was Playing Galactic Adventures and it only had 2 menu symbols on the hero stuff. There was no new space stage outfits though. 194.83.232.2 10:40, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

I also had a GA dream last night! I dreamed that I was in the Adventure creator, and I placed this little greenish-brown humanoid on the clear, green planet and then used Ctrl to lift it into the air, then I pressed the big blue Play button on the top of the screen and the thing fell all the way to the ground and slowly slid forward. Strange. Furby98 19:09, 18 May 2009 (UTC)

Parts
Everyone thinks the Medusa's tail is a new part, but it's not! That sharp curving bit on the end of it's tail is just a normal part from the weapons category! It's in the blades category, starting with Scimitar, and the part on the Medusa's tail is the third in the category. The only reason some people think it's new is because they probably don't know the parts well enough to recognize it, but recognizing it might not be so easy if you aren't REALLY experienced with the parts, because that part has had morph handles used on it. It's nothing special, it's not a new part! Guys, I think we can safely assume that there are no new creature parts in the expansion, but that does not dismiss the possibility of new parts for buildings, vehicles and spaceships, or perhaps new costume parts. If new costume parts are planned, Maxis is probably still working on them or they are just not using them for the captains in the videos and the rotating captains because they're keeping it for a surprise that they're gonna put in at the last moment. Furby98 13:08, 9 May 2009 (UTC)

The creature part thing is still a mystery, look at the creature on the red circle. Mr. Serious 13:41, 9 May 2009 (UTC)

And that creatures head, it looks like a new part because the box artist probably just made up that part to make the creature look better. Look on the cover of Creepy and Cute, the arms of Skoog are shorter than it's actually possible and his eyes look like an entirely new part! It's just made up by the artist to enhance the image! There are no new creature parts! Furby98 22:21, 9 May 2009 (UTC)

You don't know there are new parts in Spore GA, it is still a mystery. The arms are shortened and anyone can make a short armed creature and the eyes of skoog are actually the third eye in the eye section of Creepy and Cute. Mr. Serious 12:41, 10 May 2009 (UTC)

It could be possible that there are new parts, but there is actually no evidence! Also, the eye is made to look like the third eye, but the artist made it look different to make it look better! Look at the cover, it's different, it actually looks like a whole new part, but that exact part is not actually in the game! Also, look, the arms are shorter than it's actually possible to make them! They're too short! Also, the artists like to put nostrils on the creatures but nostrils like that do not actually exist on those mouth parts! Like I said, it's just the artist, there's no evidence! Furby98 13:13, 10 May 2009 (UTC)

Well I heard you can add in dinosaur nostrils on the creature. 194.83.232.2 09:51, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

You can't! Look at the pictures, they show the nostril as part of the mouth, but the nostril part is actually a separate part that looks different. Furby98 17:52, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

Let's end conversation untill the pack comes out. 194.83.232.2 13:33, 18 May 2009 (UTC)
