@Vissia I hope EA do pay attention or at least Maxis.
I agree with everyone regarding the Space Age that the constant attention to stop your home planet being destroyed--by highly unadvantaged and out numbered ships--takes away from what could be a good exploration beginning. I could deal with the constant 2 minute attacks IF the game allowed me to progress to a certain point FIRST or at least allow me to upgrade my weapons/allies to be able to deal with the encounters.
Also what's the point of the turrets at my bases?
Also the number of aliens wanting money from me is INSANE. I've received in one instance four message from aliens all demanding a small sum but a sum that is way out of my grasp as I cannot make money. Everything sells too low and costs way too much. And when I decline everyone then hates me which leads to SEE ABOVE.
If they removed the constant homeworld attacks I wouldn't mind dealing with the occasional pirate or diseased aliens but as high frequenced as they are.
Someone pointed out a good feature that the Galaxy view could 'pause' when you were on a planet--for those 'hardcore' a feature that could be disabled when playing Hard mode.
At the moment I've given up hope of defending my home planet to make some attempt at improving interstellar relations but I know this is going to bite me in the but when I return to an empty planet.
I do hope that the game is patched to make the first few hours of Space exploration fun and to give you time to adopt your way of Space exploration, ie peace, missions, trade or war and to get to grips with Space before it starts to show you some hostile space ships.
