Spore Galactic Adventures

Spore Galactic Adventures (also known a Spore Space Adventures) is a Spore Expansion Pack set to be released on the 20 of May (IN THE US), 2009(but should released as usual in other countries). One of its new features will be the ability for your Creature to move around outside the UFO, as well as new missions that will require you to use this ability. Creatures then will be able to use social and offensive abilities on others, like the Creature stage. The textures and graphics are going to be more complex with the Adventure creator. Maxis will have about 20 different premade adventures.

Speculation

 * What will happen to the Hologram Scout? - With the new ability of beaming down from the UFO, the Hologram Scout will become pretty useless. but perhaps it will be used to explore planets without the risk of dying, and it is maybe so that the hologram scout will be used to explore uninhabitable planets (Such as Ice Planets and Lava Planets).


 * New Galactic Objects? - This is unlikely, but there could a small possibility of new astronomical phenomena.


 * Mission Types - So far we have only seen missions like fetch this and rescue that, it is unknown how deep the adventure editor will go. although pre-release videos hint that a variety of missions from getting off a deserted island to getting through a maze before other creatures seem possible.

Planet Editor/Terrain editor
A new ability will allow players to create their own planets, perhaps star systems as well, and will be able to choose whether their planet will be a snowy or a fiery planet using templates provides ingame. Spore's Planet editor was originally in Spore but was cut out, and the planetary editor should not be confused with terra-sculpting tools. Along with Planet Editor, players will be able to modify their planets, and have more advanced cities. Planets can be edited using stamps such as lava lakes which the creature will be damaged by if unlucky enough to stray into one. Players will also be able to choose which flora they want on a planet. Planet editor works in a similar manner to developer tools.

Unsolved Questions

 * Will it be as simple as to fly over a planet and just beam down?


 * Will we be able to go inside our spaceships?


 * Will the makeup of cities be more complex?


 * Will there be new philosophies?
