And also, i must add, that when you find a planet paint power, if its not one you've already got, its some really lame one. That highly annoys me.
EA have taken this game aside, strapped it to a rack, and, with a machete, gutted the whole game to a lifeless shell. I bet maxis are regretting duo-ing with them.

I didn't know you could find the same planet paint power twice.
I got another race into space today (on easy this time, and even though I played them as economists I was told I was going to be a Warrior
). This time, maybe also due to lessons learned, it's a LOT easier. There were no hostle empires too close to me either which will also be a factor. As a result of all of this I'm finally enjoying space (though it is utterly Grindtastic :yawn
.
Lessons Learned:
1) There is a big random factor to how hard space is going to be (BOO!)
2) It might be a good idea for people to always pick easy mode for their first try just so they've got the chance to learn the ropes.
3) Another good idea (especially if you're in love with your first race) would be to get them to Civ, then switch to another race and bring them straight in from that level to space. At least that way you're favoured race will be your second try when you get them there.
All of these are good ideas but they're only helpful if you've not played that far yet, unfortunately. I've given up on the Chrimpod, my first race, as they're surrounded by unforgiving hostiles.
