I used to occasionally go to Sisi to test some stuff out, here are my 2 cents on this. Yes, it sucks not have that safe environment outside Tranq to test your theories, but EVE is like life, there is no second servers for life, if you mess up in life you ll feel the consequences so it is only natural that EVE would be like that. Sisi was always just a privilege and not a necessity. Lets face it, Sisi was never meant for new players, they dont have enough SP for anything anyway. So I do agree with CCP not having the test server will positively impact the main server, more activity, more chances to mess up. Moreover this will increase the communication among the players and speed up the knowledge transfer from veterans to newer players. Solo players nowadays can find any information in either video guides/streams or written sites, the average player doesn’t really need the sisi anymore as we used to in the past when information was scarce. The try hard players who like to never have to risk anything to get the perfect fits, i guess you guys will have to risk your ■■■■ like the rest of us then, fair. Yeah i will miss the ability to roam an empty EVE map and feed uber bling fits to blood raiders, drifters and abyssal space, etc, it was fun to lose stuff without any consequence, but that is like using cheat codes in GTA. Admittedly, the test server provided too much information to dedicated players who could desing and test setups to win in every situation. Now they will have to test these setups in live situtations on tranq providing more content in the main universe and not on a parallel one, which will make them get better faster. I guess this will have a positive impact overall but only time will tell. All i can tell for now is that i will miss SISI like I miss captain quarters.
