Coming soon to Star Trek Online’s Tribble Test Server is an all new space map to test your skills in space combat!
Now this looks pretty cool...

That said I would also love to see a ground version at some point but I'm in no hurry, hell at moment we don't even know if this will ever come to live servers (sure there's plans to do so but no timetable).
I'll be really interested to try it out!
They'd at least have to figure something out to prevent it from becoming a one-stop-shop for doing all the Endeavors, if they haven't already.
At least one of the problems that said I'd assume they'd want to make it so that ships spawned in in this instance don't count for the Endeavor, but are working on how to do this without breaking rest of the game.
l don't know.
l really don't know what l'm about to say, except l have a feeling about it.

An otaku goes "UwU, what's this?"
A furry goes "OwO, what's this?"
A werewolf goes "Awoo, what's this?"

They probably want to make it not count for space kills - I guess since they can do it give no rewards they can do that too
This. I do energy damage ground on Nimbus where I take on Yamlon's three missions. Then if I still need energy damage I just run around killing things.
For energy damage space I'll run some DSEs or Romulan Patrols.
For specific enemies I'll run BZs or rerun whatever mission has what I need.
I do exactly the same things
for shield healing, i do a borg stf (even if i hate them), these shield vacuums are at least helpful and interesting for that.
But, anyways, I am very happy for this cause I hate 3rd party programs and it is the main reason I would never parse
moreover I find ISA a kind of boring map - they should had made something more fun for testing damage than it
Feds have nothing comparable to the Empire Defense missions.
What you get when they sell more power but all the worthwhile content is stuck in perpetual Easy Mode.
I used to use The cure space to test builds because, first, the map existed back when I still needed to test things and, second, because you had a chance to shoot stuff without someone else interfering.
Although the cure map worked relatively well, having a map that is specifically designed for this should make it much easier to get consistent results and do the testing more thoroughly.
I am definitely hoping that it will come to Holodeck too.
If you mean them as in Cryptic they did not do anything like it. The concept of parsing ISA is an entirely player driven thing.
If for some reason you do not like the concept of it or don’t like the map on it’s own there is no reason in the world why you should even consider doing it.

While I can understand that the OPness of some players twist ISA away from obstacles that the map poses it opens up an entirely new prospect of an either densely teamed or directly competitive PvE environment with the bar set by the players who run it. The better the players, the higher the goals, the harder it gets.
I for my part was not yet fortunate enough to participate in a 25 second run in ever but I will surly keep on trying. It is also the number 1 map where I see the most that if I experience an easy time there I didn’t do nearly as much as I could. As a matter of fact, given the goals I set for myself in ISA, it is the hardest map in game for me to master.

The thing is that even there you cannot.
Cryptic plays out the “let’s get the player to split the team and do stuff on their own” – pseudo team-play card on a lot of maps. It does not change the fact however that the second somebody in team hits Tactical or Intel fleet it will influence your shooting stuff whether you like it or not.
Of course if cryptic issues a map here that can be played by oneself without any team this would change and people could test without any forced team interaction (no matter if it is positive or negative in the respective situation).
I decided to hold any judgment of Cryptic’s endeavor here until I have seen it. I hope I can get myself to do it even because I really don’t feel like copying my toons to tribble for every build adjustment I do just to see how it plays out on a single player map. I mean my entire aim in STO is to play teamed PvE on holdeck. I also hope the parsing system of Cryptic will go a bit more into depth and not just limit itself to a final DPS score. That’s as helpful as extracting only that final figure from CLR and throw it in the face of clueless pugs in team chat. It would only show how good or bad one did without giving any hint as to why.

As for this new map I like the idea my only concern is if it stays on Tribble it wont get used much as it is to much hassle. Its at least x10 easier and massively faster to access and use SCM or CLR then it is to access this new map. You could explain to someone how to download install and use SCM/CLR and finish a complete map run long before you could get that same person to even setup this new map on Tribble. Then as you pointed out you have to mess around with character transfers and relogging all the time.
I mean if someone asks how to measure there performance what we are going to do? Explain this new map or point them to SCM/CLR.
