Curious to know, on the test server, considering there is far fewer players on there, could you scout out nil sec systems, or WH's?

Seems like not a bad idea on trying to figure out enemy infrastructure. But maybe its not a big deal?

Thoughts.

Chances are any intel will be months out of date.

the test server for obvious reasons does not use actual data but rather a dump from a while ago, no point unless someone has been in the same spot for years without changing stuff.

What's my alliance got to do with it?

They wipe all sov, towers, and scramble all moon goo. You won't get any useful information relating to those items, so it is a moot point to even try. It's a blank slate to test things out on.

Wasnt it changed to its current iteration from being a perfect copy because someone already used this idea... To great effect?
