There is also another change that we will probably be implementing on the Tutorial game servers. Since people start at different times, and someone could start on the server a week after everyone else home systems will not longer be capturable at all. You will no longer be able to take over the planets in someones home system.

This will allow people freedom to experiment within their home systems safely, and not terminate them from the game a day after they start. We will create a flag for home systems, so you'll be aware when you have located one. Everything else in the universe is free game though.

When the Tutorial servers go live we will probably be implementing a planet cap as well. So you won't be able to just acquire everything within the universe. Game server will not have this same protection. Since everyone starts at the same time everyone will have the same things available to them.
