Test server need to have ship size/category specific areas

Right now test server is almost useless for testing ships/fits! Only combat area 1 is used, and it s filled with dreads and 1.2+ bill fitted uber ships. There is no place to test normal fitted normal ships. And no, say that you need to set this up yourself does not work, dont bother mention it, there are VERY few people on there.

Need areas that have specific ship class restrictions, and you would have A LOT of fun combat/testing going on. Anyone played like Dark Age of Camelot know how much fun can be had in the Battlegrounds that are level restricted, more or less all are on equal terms.

Put up jump gates like the mission ones outside of the main station (with restrictions to who can jump/enter the areas); problem solved!

I do support your point, when I was last on the test server there is normally only one beacon and there are alot of capital ships there, which do make it difficult to test sub-capitals when the server population is low.

I think when the test server is more populated people do tend to use the other combat areas as well as the main ones, and during Mass Testing there are alot more people around.

But it would be good to make it so that those people looking for specific fights can go to a certain place for testing it.

This has been debated many times, so i'll explain why this is not the case.
Sisi used to have different zones for different ship types, but this was not a good system. Why? Because people would just sit in their capitals on lower class accel gates with instalock alts. CCP can barely enforce the rules as they are so how would they make sure people didnt camp the accel gates?
