Test Server Feedback

+1 all for this and I would like to also see an SP stipend for toonns - so that we might be able to test things we currently don't have skill points for... it doesn't make sense to me to advertise to people for mass testing and then not put in a means for people to test this due to TQ SP levels... it is a test server and CCP would have alot more testers IF people could temp up the points between mirrors on SISI - not sure how this would best be done but it might be nice to be able to both knock up AND down SPs on SISI to test things...there are times I would like to know what a toon with LESS SP would be like as well with testing. Maybe a way to "Set Skills at between 1-5" on the toons on SISI would be nice.

I would like to see with this though a return to Cap, BS, Cruiser, Frigate CAs... to limit the effect of people just mowing down the lot on any given day and rules that bind people to not pull up and DD the crap out of say a frigate testing area.

This was a good idea. I like it.

It's been a few days already with supers seeded, so some feedback:

+'s points:
- Haven't noticied any problem with this, other caps are still being used (dreads,carriers)
- Also still people in regular ships flying around, as supers have become pointless to try to attack subs
- Haven't been cluster problems, even the CA's don't seem as full of drones as may have been expected
- Also PVH has seen a little more activity now with people trying to be away from supers, still good
- Another worry was that SISI may become over-populated, haven't yet happened

- 's points:
- If supers get seeded, on new mirrors, still have to be sure sov, building, etc. works (someone may still want to do this)
- SUpers stacks, people love to kill the stacks (even against the rules), my solution to this would be DON'T seed supers for 100 isk, keep them in the billions, even a bit higher that what obtained from insurance when popped, to avoid massive stacks and even just undock-loss-undoc k-loss in supers, making isk in sisi is easy, but with supers close to their actual TQ cost, would force people to not only fly 100 supers in 1 day
- Drone clusters still can become a problem, why not include a sisi.unique script where drones, as wrecks, vanish after couple hours, can improve lag and other issues

--Love SISI!

For those of you who say "What's the point?" I can tell you at least one thing.

As a capital pilot of a few years with experience in moving my ships, I can see very clearly how much different Titan is from other ships including dreads.

The range is obviously much shorter but it really hits home to see HOW short. It's not something I can move around without resubbing my cyno alt account...something I hope to not do to save money.

It also give the experience of being in a Titan/Super. I can see what it's like to never leave. The requirement to stay in it 100% of the time is somewhat relaxed, but it gives me a good idea to see how much I'd HAVE to stay in it and how much I need another carrier to refit/give capacitor if moving through hostile areas.

I also know how much fits into a super and what I can take/use in terms of fuel/SMA/stront. It's nice before a 100B investment to see what I might be getting into.

And being only seeded in 6-C is interesting too. Syndicate isn't terribly hard to move out of, but it's a bit of a pain when you need solitude mids. Most aptly named region ever. I could certainly see supers being seeded elsewhere and maybe cynojamming 6C. But I think it will be ok. Supers have trouble hitting subs and doing damage, and if someone is being a pain with webs/TP usually you can kill off that ship.

You seeded supers, now you see the havoc that has been brought upon us. Super capitals have been one of those very touchy subjects that people begged for and was quite fine left alone. I am speaking as someone who has spent many hours self destructing the monstrosities that have been forced into existence, Aeons fitted with T1 meta armor repairers, T1 rigs, failed attempts at an pantheon aeon, or things like my pet that are dual tanked embarrassments that would otherwise be removed immediately from existence if they were brought to the main server. CCP I beg of you, do not seed supers next mirror, it creates problems that are otherwise impossible to avoid without moving to a new system and not deal with the occasional capital, rather than the super carrier or titan blobs that exist to massively now. I do not wish that the only escape from supers be that I cannot use a revelation or archon, I want to use those, but in the current environment my choices are Battleship and lower, or know that when my archon exits warp it will succumb to 5 Doomsdays from scrub pilots who wouldn't know the first thing as to how to properly operate the weapons they possess aside from "lock target, fire doomsday and wait." Super Capitals should be as "special" on singularity as they are on Trainquility

This little issue is sooo easy to fix..
Just use the old style combat areas. and have one room that allows all types.

Also this.

Every time I want to test a new dread or carrier setup with friends, we end up getting doomsdayed by some ******* from DDL.

Now it will be worse.

After 5 years of having trained for the nyx, I finaly get to fly one. I'm a happy customer today. Now let me dock back in... oh wait

Seems your scrubliness has overridden your ability to format a comprehensive forum post. While I do on occasion fly an aeon, you wont find me in one all the time, I actually prefer running logistics for randoms in my archon or flying around killing things in a Talos, Vindi, navy mega, bhaal, or navy scorp. What my friends do is there choice and I'll not be the one to say no, because some times, you scrubs need to learn that you may be able to talk, but we're the ones with the bats, and we're ready to crack some capitals open easier than the SoCo pinata TEST made.
