Personal Servers

[newcomer]

I think toonces should make a personal server. Basically There is a server, but when you join in you are the only one there. Kind of like a videogame campain. You have 3 different servers, or one with 3 different sections. So lets say i join the invading server. I start in sol, and let's say Commander Invader the Great comes by and says he needs my help with invading. He gives you money and you have to buy what you want or what he recommends. Then he leads you to a system with basic easy colonies. He teaches you how to invade properly and stuff like that. After capturing 1 or so colonies he gives you a mission. "Take 3 colonies from the Easy arm" or whatever you want to call the arm with basic colonies. Then after completing that he gets a bonus mission, and then moves on to medium, to hard, to real hard. So that player can learn how to invade properly. And the same format for fighting, building, and whatever other things you want.

I think it's an okay idea and would like to hear your ideas and to try and get this noticed by toonces

that just sounds boring... its only fun when there are other people around. Thats why toonces keeps deleting the servers that are most dead

nono its more of an educational thing, like for new people

oh so you want a tutorial server? i thought this was just another average server lol. That actually might be nice, or at least make the current tutorial more in depth. I recently saw it because I was helping a RL friend get started (I don't even remember doing it when I started), and I think it could be a bit more in-depth. All it really goes over is navigation and trading. I don't know that it necessarily needs to be a server, maybe just cols in UN space that can only be invaded by newbs during the tutorial, and goes back to UN possession right after. And another couple in UN space that you can build on during the tutorial, but it gets destroyed after you finish.

Everybody says this game has a steep learning curve, that might level it a little, and keep newbs interested long enough to realize you're not just trading for money constantly in the game like the current tutorial talks about

I disagree, There isn't a large enough playerbase to divert players from the actual game.

that's why i suggested simple tutorial renovation. Use UN space in place of the separate server idea and it's a good idea

Thanks for your constructed critisizm, was just an idea i thought would be cool

Toonces won't do it. I asked plenty of times lol. You could always make a video tutorial for the forums/youtube/or put on the starport site. You could also use this video when you advertise.
