This would be a star type not necessarily accessed via a scanner, it would need to feel peripheral to the game, where the devs can sandbox anything new. No points are scored, no rankings given. There would be bugs and weird and wonderful things might happen, (and annoying things like crashes), but it would be a beta playground where players could try new and old things that are not currently part of the game.
It would be a combat arena running short star matches of say 30m-1h.
Like WS ships, those used in the match would not be part of a player’s fleet.
Devs would be able to introduce/remove experimental features (like the recent “Ship Classes” suggestion; the “No Disband” suggestion; and maybe the dynamics of the star) on a weekly/monthly basis. The use of old, current, and future potential modules and features could also be switched in and out.

This is a very primitive idea that Devs are either gonna love, or more likely hate! (I just remember it being fun to try out the new features in the DN Beta, it might also give a place to still run modules that will never be brought back in game).
