A couple of corp mates were discussing their latest PVP actions. The discussion got around to how to practice PVP combat. The suggestion was to log onto Chaos to practice there, but it would be nice if we could use 'blanks' on the live server. So why not? Could CCP implement a 'MILES' (MILES is the laser based training system used by the US army) mode that can be activated in Gangs? The damage taken by ships while in this state would not be 'Real' and no actual ammo would be expended. Concord would also ignore ships while they are in this state. Once 'MILES' mode is deactivated all ships return to the condition they were in prior to entering 'MILES' mode.
I think this would help newer players that are afraid to venture into less secure space because they are unsure of their PVP capability. It would also benefit more experienced players in experimenting with new modules and tactics prior to using them in real combat.

I concur. This would also be great for system wide tournaments with a RED team and a BLUE team....objective capture the flag (in this case the station) from the opposing team and hold it from being retaken..."disabled" ships (those ruled "destroyed" by MILES would be out of action in a different system for say 15minutes before being able to rejoin the fight)

fantastic idea. I really hope this one is picked up. Just don't forget to put real bullets in your gun when you run into a pirate.
An alternative would be a simulator in the stations that would let you practice and also try different configs with your friends. You could possibly even try equipment you are not trained for to see if you want to spend the time training it.

Good Idea but i think mine will be easyer to code because they don't have to change anything. here it is.Linkage

these spacecraft cost too much to be turned into interstellar toys.These resources should not be wasted. If you wan to play games then maybe a tournament ship could be made and go on tour or something. or maybe simulaters available at some staionts. but taking live craft and turningthem into giant paintball machines...no way

Why not?
Real militaries do it.
It's called "wargaming"
Great way to practice your PvP before going out and doing it for "real"
I think this is a great idea and should be implemented posthaste.

yeah nice idea
i dont know if any of you guys played jump gate(also mmo)
but in that game u were on some stations able to jump into a simulator wich would be like a seperated system where u can fight with any ship u allready achieved without loss in the outside world 
but that would mean ccp should rent some more clusters 
Mess with the best..

i like this, i actually detest the test server for the reasons that one can pretty much do anything scot free no risk. and then your average player cant (tbh its for bug hunting not 1v1's, but no one bug hunts just see's what benefits them so we get hit by a bug ridden build).. with these changes il be able to train my people properly..
take on this idea ccp
