Excpecting too much?

But if they have a script editor wouldn't it be only useful to those that know how to script?

Not at all. Scripting can be incredibly difficult or incredibly easy, depending on how much effort you are willing to put into understanding its genuinely basic system. For example:

addscript IF Empire=Ploogal controls Planet=Haxos THEN runscript Empire=Stomachio action(declare war on) Empire=Ploogal

That can seem very complex, but simply means that if the planet Haxos is owned by the Ploogal Empire, the Stomachio Empire will immediately declare war on them.

Road trip: take a band round a world playing concerts at each of the cities, each one that likes the show gives you money and you do the whole planet you get a special prize

A species has discovered that they have a colony established very close to what seems to be a mega volcano. The species explains that the volcano is due to erupt any time, and it has been showing signs of impending explosive activity. The player would need to find the volcano, like finding artifacts. Then the player would need to stop it by cooling the surface around it. The species has an idea that may work, but they need your help. An icy asteroid steered directly at the volcano would cause quite an explosion, but the pressure would be relieved, and the area cooled down a great deal. The problem is that no icy asteroids are nearby. The player would be asked to fly to a nearby system that the species' astronomers have found which seems to have several icy asteroids, and somehow steer the asteroid toward the system/planet in question. The player would need to fly to the nearby system, and locate an ideal icy asteroid, then use the ship's laser to propel it out of that system, and toward the system that it needs to go to. Then the player would fly back to the planet in danger, without zooming to the surface, and use the abduction beam to guide it toward the planet. *the game would auto steer the asteroid from one system to the other, and would auto guide it to the correct spot. The player could then zoom in and witness the explosion. The player would then get an incoming message and the reward. OR, the player could just decline the mission, and watch the carnage unfold

See what i mean? be realistic people! just because it says you can make your own game doesn't mean you will be ables to do whatever your hearts please! We got our hopes up for spore and BAM! the forums filled with people saying they were mislead about what you could do. I'm just saying

but we were they made an official video
they said spore would be like this

I don't like how you say that our hopes are similar to those we had for the original Spore. They were based on statements by Will Wright and his team along with videos made by them. I do see where you are going with the whole don't get you're hopes up thing though and I honestly seen that myself. If you can't pick which planet you use how would you link a adventure to another planet? I don't think we will be able to do any multiple planet adventures. Think if you could only say go to planet B who know's where you're planet B would end up.
