Hi! Im been hearing about this "test server" and that you could try out your ships in PVP or something. 2 questions:
Where do i find this server?
If i try out my ship in PVP and get blown up,do i actually lose my ship?Or will my "real" ship on the main server still be there?
Hmm..actually i need to ask 3 questions
Can i try out ships im not skilled to fly yet?

Singularity, the test server, is completely separate from the normal server. Nothing you do there affects your real character.
You can't try ships you can't fly, you still have the same skills as you did last time they copied your character. And there's no pvp going on unless someone has planned it, as there are special rules in place for testing purposes, such as "You're not allowed to attack anyone unless they say it's ok." because you could be interfering with actual testing.
As for getting on, you need to download and install a fresh client, then look in the patches section for the latest singularity patch to put on your new client. And careful that you don't put it on your normal client!
Hope that helps.

There is more info on the test server in the game development forums. I suggest you read the FAQ here which will tell you a little information about the test server including how to connect to it. _

This is wrong. You do NOT have to download the client again and install it. You simply need to COPY THE ENTIRE EVE FOLDER to another location and then patch up THAT to Singularity...

Wrong. You need to go to FD- system in syndicate, you can fly there or go to moveme channel and hope there is someone online who will move you to FD-. There you got FFA combat zones where you are allowed to shoot everyone.

You don't even need the patch. In fact, I have no clue why it even exists. I copied this from my corp's forum after MarleWH kindly shared this with me.
First: Make a copy of your EVE folder.
Second: Make a shortcut of the copied eve.exe! Desktop works fine.
Third: Right click the shortcut, open Properties.
Forth: Locate the "target" field. It's usually the first field and contains the complete path of your eve.exe. Example WinXP: "C:\Games\EVEtestserver\eve.exe" Example Vista: C:\Games\EVEtestserver\eve.exe
Fifth: Add the following command to your target field AFTER the path and seperate both with a SPACE(!!) Example WinXP: "C:\Games\EVEtestserver\eve.exe" /end /server:87.237.38.50 Example Vista: C:\Games\EVEtestserver\eve.exe /end /server:87.237.38.50
This way you neither have to download the 50mb TQ2SiSi, nor have to wait for CCP to fix their download server, in case it goes offline. I hope this was not commonly known yet and that it helped at least a few of you - those actually using SiSi to try things.
I have to thank MarleWH for sharing this.
