Well then first of all, dont double post all the time... it bugs a lot of people i think...
Anyways, i would create detalied creatures and very detailed buildings and detailed vehicles and so on. I would then rush the stage until i could get to space to be very customizable and change stuff i guess.

I wondered though if you could change your civ after you reached the space stage. I would think so because you can alter the looks of regular creatures so why not your civilization?
