You can't exterminate siblings.

Gus Smedstad:
I planted two homeworlds close together.  Homeworlds of other races you've started are clearly marked on the map, even if you've never visited.  While you can invade colonies of other races you've started, you cannot in any way attack their homeworld.  Eco-engineering tools are marked "you can't use that in this system," as are weapons.  You can't hire an invasion, either.

Time passes through the entire galaxy no matter who you're playing.  I had zero spice as the Blobs, and then sent my bloodthirsty carnivores to check out their homeworld to see if they could invade.  When I loaded the Blobs again, they had 50 spice.

EsotericPolarBear:
So when you invade your own creatures...do they have space fleets to defend the colonies?

I'm guessing yes, which leads me right back into "What the fuck were they thinking when they made this game?"

It's like they paved the road right up to the edge of fun, but ran out of bricks so they left it there, ten feet away.  We, the players, pick it up and think, oh, well, maybe I can bridge the gap, it's only a few steps.

But you're on a treadmill.  Against the wind.  In a hurricane. 

Zazazu:
I hate that you can't even use environmental coloring tools. I can understand not being able to use terrain shaping as it could eliminate nests, tribes, etc. But colors? I was really looking forward to painting my tribal races' homes all purty.

Alex:
Hm.

I also found it annoying how you cannot colonise a planet if there's a sentient species in that solar system. I really wanted to build a colony on a planet with the rare (in my game at least) pink spice. Luckily, I just abducted several of them, destroyed all their cities and built my colony before dumping them back on their planet (and letting them start again from the stone age).

Hopefully, we'll start seeing some interesting hacks for the game crawl out of the woodwork soon.

How does diplomacy work with your own empires? Do your guys automatically attack you on sight?
