Hey Mike, great idea. However I would like to make a few suggestions and point out a few flaws.

With what you are requesting, it would pretty much take out alot of the pub matches, and increase proto stomping noobs. ( the flaw)

Suggestion: Take your original idea, no sp , no isk , no actual loss. BUT you can only use basic gear, nothing advanced or proto. this way you still get to learn the ropes, but you don't get to beast over the noobs with proto and will keep the proto stomping in the pub matches. And have a limit of so many matches allowed per day, or maybe week in these training grounds. so it will force you to go out into pub matches.

Eventually I believe ccp plans on having a testing server, but it would probably be limited to actually testing new content before release.

+1 we do need a training grounds of sorts for the new guys and a warm up of sorts for when you first get online.

Flaw -- no, I don't think so. Thought this one out. Which is why I suggested keeping it within the Corp, so new players don't get slammed by the vets. Idea is for TRAINING your Corp for battles, and assisting the newer players.

And the basic gear bites, no real power weapons there, for the new players that can be very frustrating. Better to learn ropes with powered up players, so the new ones can see what they will eventually become. Recommend using suit outfits that have been earned in battle to train and show players what can be done, and how to skill into suit sets.

However, the limitation of training matches does work for me, good idea.As well, the battles can/should be used for practice with squads --- learn attack tactics, when to run, when to fight, etc.

If it was full public access , basically a test server it would ruin alot of gameplay. I'm all for it now!

For example: G.R.A.V.E (insert your Corp name here) could contract out to train, or to be trained by, non-corp members/corps (not that we need it, just an example :p ). Said contract could be for isk, aur, weapons/equipment trade, etc. Yet another way to stimulate the Dust/Eve economy? Since there is zero sp being gained, why not. Training Corps, selling Training ops in Training Grounds sounds like a good biz
