First thing that annoyed me was that when you are doing something on a planet, then you get contacted by aliens, and you can only answer their hails when on galactic view.

And if you do not hurry out and answer their hail quickly they will declare war against you.

And when i got into war they started attacking me, and their ships runs away then heals to max again, and it sucks. you have to circle around them with the Minor Proton Missile, then hunt them down with the Mini Lasers. as the missiles aren't fast enough.

And when i was on my way to one of their colonies to counterattack lots of ships attacked me while i travelled (interstellar), and i've got no means to protect myself.

So you lose about 30% hp just to travel for a counterattack, and when i was entering their system i got a badge.. and guess what? it doesnt pause the game! so you lose another 40% just to close down the badge reward window without reading what kind of badge you earned.

Then when you finally enter their planet you have 30% hp, which sucks.

And its impossible to expand your empire, every alien i meet declares war just because i'm unable to leave the solar system when i'm protecting my homeworld every 6 minutes.

And i'm playing on Hard, but it seems the Normal difficulty is hard also. but the other stages were quite easy on hard difficulty..

I want too see more ships, that patrols the interstellar lanes between your stars, and some ships to recruit to take with you, and some ships that defend your empire since if you are going to own over 100+ star systems later, which empire would just have one ship? but it should take awhile to get them.

But the no-answer-we-declare war thing is the most annoying thing..aliens shouldnt be able to hail you when you are in a star system or on a planet unless they own it / are in the star system or planet. and you should be able to answer then.
