I thought it would be nice for testings sake if you just got rid of the rank locks on the ships so every one can use the ship they want to test. Because I mean with the rules you cant gain any prest to test ships so i just thoguht it be nice to toss the rank lock for expample EAD needs Admiral rank and several badges just toss all that so people can come in test the ships and go on their way. So its just a thought. Later

The problem with that proposal is:
A) Beta costs no money to play, while release does. This would cause a large mass of mooches to come to beta to play for free, thus defeating the purpose of having a pay-to-play game at all.
B) If everyone is driving an EAD, station, etc, who will test the smaller ships? Example: Joe Noobie sez, "Woot! I kin be a admIrAL!" and only flies ships he could not otherwise fly. How would the Dev team ever know if the smaller ships are balanced or working at all properly?

I think you're confusing testing ships and having fun in big ships you normally wouldn't be able to fly.
In Beta, we make that distinction. Sorry.

Could just make it like a coupon. Like a 1 or 2 week coupon I think that might work.

I like the ideal of testing the bigger ship, BUT give it to played that have been with Darkspace a while and ARE Subbed in the Release side. And once they unsub poof there goes there power to fly ALL ships. I for one would like to test out the larger ships like the staions BUT i think that WILL not happen till i have the rank to fly them.
