The only major problem, and it is a MAJOR one, is the extremely high frequency of attacks/pirates/raids on your planet(s) in the Space stage. It is far too high and it is now stopping me from enjoying the game.
Every 1 -2 minutes my homeworld or one of my few precious colonies is attacked by an enemy empire. It happens ALL the time, if I'm on a mission (trying to get money to upgrade my excuse-for-a-weapon weapons) or trying to start a new colony. Liker someone else has said on this forum, it's becoming a mini-game of "See how far you can progress before you have to defend your homeworld!"
And when I'm trying to defend my cities there's the group of ships with the 10-damage-a-second rapid fire lasers that will destroy my spaceship in a matter of seconds!!!
Here's a summary of the space stage right now:
Homeworld: We're under attack!!
Player: I'm kind of busy, trying to single-handedly maintain the empire's economy (getting and selling spice) and all, isn't there someone, anyone else?
Homeworld: No, you're the only one of our entire species that can pilot a ship.
Player: Well, back when we were a Civilization I built many mini-Star Destroyers to help with defending our cities, can't they help?
Homeworld: Apparently not.
Player: Oh, well maybe a single ship from one of our allies could help out.
You ready?
Ally ship: Err, yea- (*Dies*)
Player: Blast!
The ally ship dies too quickly.
I hope my comments are taken as serious complaints, they are faults of the game and need to be fixed ASAP, maybe a patch or some kind of update.
Other than this, I like the game alot (before Space stage.)
