Hello

I was recently reading up on the details of the SiSi test server how it aparently used to have all level 5 skills yet it was removed due to more people ****ing around on it than playing on TQ.

Well my proposition is that CCP release an official Ship testing / arena server. My top reason is to basicly give impactient people something to do =D and to settle that age old debate of "I woulda won if i bought / trained X,Y and Z".

Now before i get shot down and bricked by 25,000 people saying that it would drag alot of people away from TQ and they would play this "test" server all the time. I think there should be strict limitations. Like a limit of 1 or 2hours per day or even a ratio of like 1/4 to TQ (you must be online on TQ 4 times as much as this test server). Or (This is even better from the CCP point of view) they could add an aditional charge onto the monthly payment of lets say £2 or £3 on top of normal payments to gain access to this server.

Of course with these limitations there are not going to be 30k people playing on it at any one time... so why have so many solar systems. It would require a bit of work but i recon it would be good with only a few solar systems some for PvE / Fit testing others for PvPing. Plus mayby some player aranged deadspace for private fleet battles and/or PvEing

Of course i wont deny the fact that there will be many imature people of a certain 10-14yr old age group who come on just to **** around and with the zero work / losses i expect that people will always try to suicide gank. So lets say CCP take the money approach to this they probably are willing to do some small work for it. Why not have instead of the "Are you sure you wish to do this" popup just no allow them to fire in the PvE / fitting zone.

Another feature i propose that only X amount of capital ships are aloud on the server at any one time and a certain achievment is required to fly them. So ofc we dont have many laggy systems with 50 titans battling in each. Also removing POSes and sovreinty would be good to.

So yea that is my proposition please take your time to read through the whole thing without picking on the fact that it may remove some people from TQ straight away.
