Test Drive your next Ride

Not sure I have seen this proposed but one of the reasons I have used beta is to test out ships I may want to to purchase. What I think would be great is a way to test out any ship and loadout in the game. In 2017 you can test drive your ride before you buy, it make sense this future should have this option. I assume some type of option is available to game creators, if so then it should not be too hard to code it for players.

Imagine a way to test out a virtual ship in a virtual system. This way you can't use for any other purpose but testing. Make every ship and every module available in the test lot. Have it so you can witch space right back to the test system that way you actually test out FSD without leaving the system. I am sure lots of other ideas could be added to this.

Nothing worse than to grind out for a expensive ship and then find out you hate it, I have done that (T-9). Also it would be awesome to actually feel how a ship handles and sounds. This would be a HUGE QOL feature for a lot of players I feel.

Comments for and against welcomed.

I've traditionally used the betas for this :p .. although I also think it is part of the ED journey so to speak. That trial and error, the challenges that can be produced from playing with bad setups and upgrading along the way. Seems like it might take away from some of the fun for a quick transition path.
 
i would be absolutely in favour of such a possibility.

people would fly what they enjoy most, and anyone could experience all ships (which are all amazing designed in look, sound and feel).

i'm in the position to have access to all ships on my main account, and happy about being able to experience them all. but there are several, most of them rank locked ships i wouldn't obtain with my secondary account, as i don't love to fly them that much.
 
I also test ships in Beta. One easy way to do this would be to make some ship tutorials. That way, no changes need to be made to the game itself.
