Something Jumpgate has in there game which is a ton of fun , is a virtual reality room . All the factions have access to the same room , you can test ship setups and fight each other without penalty. It accessed thru the hanger screen , you gain no xp there and earn no money , however its a good place for pilots to meet as well as socialize and learn various skills. They had setup several areas you could access , and I remember some of the more talented pilots giving the lesser skilled of us , lessons in flight and tactics.
