Training Simulator(not just for n00bs?!?)

[Skodean]

I was wondering if anyone knows whether the training simulator will be available to all level players, and whether it will be private or contain all players of the same empire in one sim "room". I�ve looked around and searched the forums but I can only find reference to the beginner's training program, and not much info on it.
The reason is I am hoping Planetside will include a training simulator that will allow us to practice on a squad vs. squad level, without grief points or unwanted death stats, and in a customizable environment. Also it would be nice to have access to enemy equipment and vehicles in this sim so that you could stage practice skirmishes with actual enemy units. I think this could be a vital part of the game as squads could test out different unit mixtures, configurations, and maneuvers in a safe and controlled environment. Of course the battlefield will be the true teacher and test of strategy, but it would be nice to show up somewhat prepared.
Perhaps there could be several sim rooms set aside for each empire. One for noob training, one for 1v1 duels, one for squad tactics and so on. Anyway if this is not planed I think it should be. Thoughts?
