Server Stability Issues

TL;DR At the Bottom of the page...

So lately it seems that CCP havn't had the time, or just the need to take an interest in Singularity, whether this is because there is no up and coming release loaded onto it or just CCP have taken a preference to using internal servers that we can't harass them on, there has become a noticible lack of presence by CCP and ISD in 6-CZ49 on Singularity.

Now with this lack of presence also come a lack of stability as ISD and CCP are around less to warp around CA's and clear them of abandoned drones, and it has now reached the point where upon warping between CA's I am having my client go unresponsive for anywhere exceeding 2 minutes, during this time in an incident earlier, I'd landed in a different CA in a deadspace fit Vindicator and got blapped by a dreadnaught at 200km. Now I don't have the best computer in the world, infact mine barely meets the minimum requirements for EvE, but i've heard people reporting the same problem who are running high spec computers which is where it's began to really concern me.

Now I understand that CCP's primary interest is in testing upcoming releases and not maintaining the combat system for the enjoyment of those who come on either to try new fits, or just to harass people there to try new fits, but some kind of system stability would be nice, now I am not going to say "oh this will only take a dev 5 minutes to do" like most scrubs, but would it not be possible to do something with the beacons in the CA, kind of like with the Tournament Beacon which kills anything that goes out of 250km, except attach some kind of timed clearance of drones anywhere on grid, I know the tool is there to clear inactive drones for ISD/CCP to use, could this not be attached to some kind of beacon, and then scripted to run like once per hour, clearing all drones.

*Further Note* Arguments for this is a waste of time, I counter with this, CCP put the time and effort into cynojamming an NPC system (PVH) so that players can use the system to fight in subcapitals without capital interference, and absolutely nobody uses it. So if they can be bothered to spend the resources on that, surely asking them to spend a resources on this, which benefits all users of the singularity testing system.

TL;DR CA's automatically clear drones once per hour or 2 (read main post for more detail).
