Frontier really need a test server when experimenting with diffrent kinds of alternative features in the game without effecting the main game. I think it's very important that we explore and try out other changes to the game, that might change the game for the better. If that change doesnt work out, no biggie, it doesn't effect the main game anyway.
For an example: If Frontier wants to test out and let the community be part of it, let's say, they try out a different approach to how Super Cruise can be, like if a ship was less hindered by gravity wells and bodies, this would result into a better acceleration and top speed and deacceleration when moving around in a system, so planets will approach a bit faster and the ship will break in faster, so players get a more sense of speed.
I know there is a lot of people out there that have some really good ideas for the game, but I feel that a lot of those great ideas never get any chance.
There is a lot of cool things they can play around with and let the community be part of it.
I don't think the way Frontier work, everything secretive, and behind closed doors is a huge part of why they fail so much patch after patch. But don't get me wrong, they do some good things too, but if they had the community with them, there would be so much better, and it will also give the players a more better feeling that the game is alive and evolving. And this way, releasing a huge patch every 3 or longer months, always contain bugs, it would be better if they released a minor patch every week and maybe a bigger patch every month when server is down for maintenence.
