Any chance of you putting up the blue frogs on test center? I'm not being funny but i just spent the past month and a bit grinding upto 4-4-4-3 freelancer pilot only to find out i can't get to Master because of a game bug,
Then i finally manage to get onto test center to find out i will have to spend the next month and a bit grinding on there to get to the same skill level just to test a fix you have done that is stopping my gameplay in the live game.
I'd like to know where the fun has gone in this game, just seem to be banging my head on the desk everytime i log in these days.

They put frogs on TC once.. it ruined the server for a month and a half. They have already stated they will never do it again, they only put frogs up on the temp servers they bring up for a focus test or stress test (like JTL beta).

Black Epsilon 4,4,4,3 here on live. This bug is stopping me from advancing as well since the 17th.
Blue Frogs... well I agree for this problem we need to be able to get right in and test it out. Unfortunately thats not gonna happen. To add blue frogs to a server they have to take it down and rebuild it with a seperate image (this is another reason why they don't want blue frogs on Test Center.) Another reason is that when they tried Blue Frogs on test center to test out the village people used it as an oppurtunity to PvP instead of test. That abuse is the direct reason why we won't be seeing Blue Frogs on test center again.
I want to fix this issue badly. I created a character on TC last night and ground through the first two tiers of Black Epsilon. TC is tough because there's no one around. Finding what you need for pilot isn't easy either. The one thing we have going for us is that we already know the missions and we already know how our ships handle and work. 2 tiers in one night wasn't too bad in my opinion. Don't expect to find a group to fly with though, and don't expect to find much in the way of shipwright engineered parts.
Yes, this sucks. I'm not sure what a better solution would be but Test Center is just like any other server. Imagine what would happen on Ahazi or Bria if all of a sudden they dropped Blue Frogs for 3 days. The economy would tank immediately. That is why they're not going to be willing to drop frogs on Test Center Prime. Now, if they would bring up lets say Test Center Bria (like they have in the past...) we could have frogs and everything with no effects to current live or testing servers. That would be my suggestion.

Do us a favor, be sure to issue a /bug in-game as well as noting the details in the Focus Thread in this forum. I know none of us want this issue to drop from the radar till we all get Ace! LOL!

"Focus Test" to them are like when they testing the Jedi revamp, or jtl beta.
Bugs on the other hand are not... but post more info and We'll assemble a team on TC to try to track it down and help Seani and QA try to fix it faster.

I would like to point peoples attention to the Focus Thread once again. We have recieved a Dev response stating that the first fix for the "Took too long" failures was not working as well as they would like and they are working on a second fix internally. Please post your observations on this issue there. I am truly impressed with their efforts and attention to this issue. Thanks for the Christmas present Dev's!
