Will there still be win conditions in the tutorial servers? e.g. will the planet cap be approx equal to the conquest win or do tutorial servers just run for a set period and then get reset?Originally Posted by zarkwizard

Yep - a reset would be good - it's great to have an opportunity to try new strategies as Raven says. Will there be any other new features? Trading or artefacts?
Tutorial servers will be pretty persistent. By putting in the caps it will allow new players to play the game, and people that want to play out all the trees to experiment can do that on the tutorial servers. Since you will be able to acquire all the skill trees on the tutorial servers, but have a planet cap it just means you won't go hog wild destroying new players because you won't have the ability to.
We may implement ship caps as well, so you won't have the full 1000 ship armada's that we have currently. With this in place you should never have someone reaching a win condition. The win conditions will be disabled for the tutorial servers anyhow. They are more like test servers for people to play on, and experiment on, that will be kind of long term.
We aren't saying we'll never reset them. There will be times when it's required to reset them, due to upgrades to the code base and what not. For the most part thought they are meant to be played on to learn things.
Just means you have to fight over the good planet yarr!
