I'm really interested in starting a new game. While my home planet is producing metal and crystal in good quantities now, it looks like my solar system is occupied (and has been so from the very beginning). Thus, I don't see many options to expand here and since all players are red (indicating the are "strong") and in alliances, it doesn't look like I'll be able to take anything from them either.
Interestingly, nobody sent any spy probes so far. Strange...
The other game is going better (space pioneers), I'm pretty alone in my part of the galaxy and even though I had some spy probes as visitors, I have plenty of options to expand and do stuff.
