Skirmish / Fleet Combat Test Mode

[Eyeklops]

With 7.5 on the horizon there appears to be much effort going into the new flight model and AI combat logic. Does anybody else think it would it be useful/fun to run player-setup "NPC vs Player" & "NPC vs NPC" fleet battles...for science? I envision something like the custom game start creator but with only a few sectors and the ability to compose, place, and give jobs to NPC fleets.

Certainly not a high priority. That said, having this ability could make data collection faster and potentially more standardized across the X4 testing community. I don't know about the rest of the community...but I could easily spend a few hundred hours playing "X4's Totally Accurate Battle Simulator".

P.S. If this is something that gets any traction at Egosoft, please consider a path to allow ship mods. Evaluating how mods affect ship combat is currently the most tedious (for me) thing I've found to test.

I mean, I've already asked for this to death, so +1
