FYI, when CCP wants people to test specific things, the needed physical resources are handed out during the mass test the vast majority of the time. Unless the mass test post tells people to provide for themselves, you can generally expect CCP to take care of providing the ships they want people to test, either directly or by seeding them in/adjacent to the test systems.
You’re on your own for skilling, of course. CCP hands out post-test SP as a thank you, but otherwise expect that they are looking for people who already know how to use the ships/systems/features they are testing to be able to aggressively test them. It isn’t in CCP’s best interests to hand out excess SP just for people to skill up for a mass test, as that gives garbage data.
