Test Server Feedback

As we gathered, this pool of infinite SP is just to good to resist; telling us to "Not abuse it" is like saying a kid "Do not eat all the candy of the bowl in 1 day"; we all know that if he has 20 candy there, he'll eat 18 so technically being "obedient", but still way too much more than you wish he had.

Solution of this could be to time the command, as /copyships is (but not every 24 hours).
Time /copyskills to once every 1-2 months, or
Only allow /copyskills ONCE per mirror per toon

The command was meant to update players that come to the test server later in the mirror and helping reduce the amount of mirrors needed, so they could test their latest skills or a new ship; it has worked very good, for this matter, in many cases we have been able to "double train" in a way, giving another advantage to it, so it is a great command that should not be disabled.

However, there is no reason for the command to be available to use every minute.
As many players are not regulars of SISI, they may not set a long training queue in it, which is why option 2 of only once may not be the best, but surely needs a long timer on it.

I'd be happy with once per mirror, but per toon might be exploitable too, you figure you multi-box on TQ, have 3 accounts, each character on that account has 20-30mil SP each, you extract all their skills into injectors and boom you have nearly 300mil SP to play with.

Now that's assuming you're rich enough to run three accounts and a triple queue per account. You'll be running into one hell of a character. On SiSi that wouldn't be a problem, because it's SiSi, but on TQ it could cause some issues.

î want my skills back xD

24 Hours cooldown will be good :)

IF copy skills is disabled... would there be a way to get 'snapshots' of our current skills? I've got a few ships I want to test on sisi that, would let me save several bil in ships if can be tested on sisi instead of live.

remember the test server is to test upcoming builds of eve not mess around


disabling a feature could lead to bugs being missed and pushed onto tq

This guy has a reasonable point. Most players that still play on SiSi now have the SP they need anyway, I've fiddled around and landed on a Sleipnir (Which will now be my goal on TQ) and a Stiletto inty and it was nice to test. But I don't think that having players put injectors up for 70+ billion ISK each on the main station would be considered fun.

Although people did exploit it, and it's a little sad, it still didn't affect anything massively on SiSi, players got to play around with SOV, ship testing (From frigs to supers) and of course module testing on said ship. I've been playing around with Project Discovery and it was cool, if not a little.. well it's not been explained very well.

A possible setup could be putting the injectors up on the AUR store on SiSi for AUR currency of course, to whatever you think is reasonable but give players some AUR to play around with but limit it to a certain amount. Just a possible suggestion.

The one trouble I have on SiSi right now is when I'm out and about in my Cheetah, I scan systems with no cosmics (excluding player ships, drones & structures), no anomalies or sigs at all, is this intended or should I jump closer to 0.4 space?

All of this is more effort than it's worth for a sisi only feature. The time is better spent dealing with bugs or other issues. As far as extractors goes, nothing CCP does short of disabling the purchase of them (which will lead to people just hording market hubs for them so solves nothing and could lead to bugs regarding purchasing appearing) will stop players from obtaining them. AUR is as simple as going on market and buying a stack of Plex or AUR coins and using those.

Copyskills has been around for less than a year, it's not an essential need on the test server. It'll just need to go back to if you want to test new stuff, attend mass tests or now buy injectors (never will be seeded so steal from market hubs before they run out). If your queue is long enough any training you had ongoing from the time the mirror was taken until the point you logged in should still be ongoing/finishing.

I'm with this person, if people want to abuse skill extractors/injectors they should do it on tq and copy it over. Give it a cost for them.
