Test servers are a separate version of the game that is exactly the same as everything on the main servers. When a new feature gets added, it's important to check how it works with every existing thing in the game. So for example when Ares was added, all other hulls were also available on the test server because the goal was to check how different hulls interact with one another, and whether anything is broken.

Sometimes some of the features on the test server are limited. For example, when the friends system was being tested many years ago, players didn't get millions of crystals and high ranks to buy equipment, because it was not necessary for testing the friends system.

Thanks for answering my questions Maf. I found it strange to have other hulls, apart from Ares still on the test servers after so many years later of being tested and released.
