Test this , test that.
So far we have tested situation 2 vs 2 and alphas of new layouts.
Who is up for a MBT(massive beta test) , 3 way , with dicos, cruiser and dreads? Massive pinging , alot of missiles, alot of sneaking, ALOT OF FIREPOWER.
Shell we put a date on up coming events for this one?

Nice idea, the new layouts need a mass-scale testing.
How about next Sunday, 22 May?

Beta Brawl? Sounds fun and gathers data. Well done.

I'm up for that, I've been trying to get more than 2 people organized to test actual combat scenarios for a while.

(not) To be a party pooper, but if the beta servers run on F's machines down at his home, won't such a massive brawl do nothing but generate lag and frustration for all involved?

Potentially. We can deal with that as the problem arises by trying to limit the number in the server or breaking up between zones, or even changing the map. Better to try than never test at all.

Massive brawl or not, the true test will be over time in the MV. We do have a pretty good idea on each ship's potential now, but we won't really know if anything is overpowered in large groups until some time has passed after it goes live.

This is indeed true. However, a large scale beta test will still enable us to identify and fix any large problems or game-breakers that we may have overlooked in our sporadic and small-scale staff testing. But yes, especially for balance purposes, the real "testing" will be in live MV play.

one of the event maps with 3 terran planets and a lone star in the middle would do.
1RA fleet wars map. No AI. Its completly possible
or... two planet clusters each. A defence rock (to fight over) and a SY planet. Each faction can build depos in space for repair.
Main thing i want to see is ICCs ability to assault and defend planets.
Think their gonna get steamrolled either way (although will have a better time at assaulting planets). As such, ill be flying either UGTO or Kluth, to subside my bias openion.

It'd be a more accurate test if we all fly the ships we're familiar with.

Essentially, yes. Use the ships and tactics you're familiar with to see how the new layouts perform.
It should probably be no enhancements though since it's the ships themselves we're testing, and use of enh will skew the results.
