Holograms can have captain tools as decoration, but they cannot be used. The Hologram Scout was not replaced or cut from the game. Gas Giants will get converted into adventure planets if any nearby planets have all been visited. The player can ask an alien empire for a mission, the game will scan for systems or planets that have not been visited and then make the player travel to the system. In Spore Galactic Adventures, players can only beam down from adventure planets. However, it can neither be used nor interacted with by the player. The Fanatical Frenzy creates city-sized holograms of your creature when used. Much like the difference in tribal stage creatures and Epics. Sometimes your Hologram Scout will be much larger than the actual size your creature really is, apparently Epic Sized.

The speed will not be affected, but since your scout is smaller, it will appear to be going faster. The hologram scout can be shrunk by opening, then closing, the settings window before using the scout. This makes it easier and faster to retrieve sporebucks located in forests. The scout can pick up items, such as sporebucks dropped by ships, by left clicking them. It is unknown why the game does not allow the scout to swim in normal conditions. This can be quite tricky, as the angle into the water has to be very shallow (see the below video). The scout is also able to swim, seemingly forever, by walking into a body of water from a very flat stretch of coast. The object shrinks and then vanishes, next appearing in the spaceship's Cargo Hold. The process of an object being beamed up to an orbiting spaceship by a Hologram Scout. The scout cannot fly or jump, and you cannot beam down over water, over a colony or from a high altitude. Note: in the game, a hologram can be picked up by an epic creature. Oddly enough, if a player beams down as a hologram and enters a tribe, the tribe members will not react to the hologram's presence. The controls are very similar to the controls in the Creature Stage. Herbivore creatures will run away in fear (if the player is a carnivore or omnivore), or wave at the hologram (if the player is a herbivore) carnivores and omnivores will growl, then attack and Epic Creatures will grab, bite, throw and send fireballs at the hologram. Other creatures on the surface become aware of the hologram's presence if the hologram approaches. It controls almost like the Test Drive mode in the Creature Creator. The hologram walks very slowly compared to walking during Creature Stage. Aside from walking around, almost no interaction is available. This tool allows the player to explore a planet surface as a hologram. "Send a hologram to the planet for an up close examination."
