Sporesauce

So i recently went back into the universe of spore, and find that it is much bigger than i originally imagined. As soon as got my creature evolved enough to fly around space i thought, "well that was fun, im gonna start a new creature." i thought i was done with the game. I was horribly mistaken. You see, when you get to the space stage, you have two circles on the map. A solid circle, which marks how many parsecs away you can travel from your current location, and a dotted circle, which i thought was the boundary to which you can travel totally. After continuing on my space creature, i soon realized that i could move out farther then the dashed circle, and that this circle was merely the boundary to which i can communicate with other planets. After doing a mission or two where i had to journey to near the center of the galaxy, i saw how large of a scale this game was on. There are, quite literally, over ten million stars in the milky way. Ninety percent of these stars have a form of life on that solar system, and fifty percent of the total stars have intelligent life on its solar system. This is the largest game i have ever seen.
