Lack of deadspace and faction modules on the test server?

Why are there no deadspace/faction modules for sale on the test server in 6-C? This makes it especially hard to test a fit that you specifically want to make. Is there a reason behind this?

might be something to do with them being seeded by players and not by ccp

Calm down miner. As you pointed out, people think they can get away with stuff they would not in rl... Like for example illegal mining... - Ima Wreckyou*

Surely they can bypass this, though?

Because sisi is a silly place, if everyone dresses in purple all the time it becomes outright stupid.
They have seeded them in the past and CCP Goliath has addressed the reasons as to why they no longer do several times,
If you go rooting through his postin history you can find it from his mouth.

The short of it is sisi becomes markedly less useful as a test environment so they stopped.

It is what Lan Wang has said. Sure they could seed them themselves youre right. But the reality is they dont want to. CCP has specifically stated that they want the test server to be for testing of hardware and bug hunting MORE than it is for finding that perfect fit for blitzing whatever so that people can do more for themselves.

So if you want them on the test server go spend the time and effort or run around buying them at exorbitant prices from others.Blink

Have you heard anything I've said?

You said it's all circling the drain, the whole universe. Right?

That's right.

Because when they were seeded; every fit was a deadspace fit. Add that to everyone having a fleet booster makes for very hard to kill ships, in fights that would otherwise have a clear victor.

If brute force isn't working, you're just not using enough.

Please Note: Any advice given comes with the caveat that nothing will be suitable for every situation.

The test server is for testing new features and to help CCP find bugs and problems. Be pleased that they continue to let us use it when ever we want.

If you don't follow the rules, neither will I.

You realize that CCP makes money off of subscriptions, right?

It's been said a multitude of times that Dead space and Faction and Officer and other shiny things will not be available for seeding, outside of special events.

and your point is?

your suubscription is only for you to acceess tranquility, nothing more nothing less.

even all your in-game assets (i. e. ships, isk, corpse, etc - which is also not real) are still CCP's property and can be taken away/denied from you anytime.

able to access SiSI is privilege and not part of what you paid.

so don't be an entitled pr!ck and farm those dead space / officer mods you want.
