Setup The Test Chamber
At the moment you need to set up some XML by editing the file: GameData/Configuration/TestChamber/Example.xml (to say which ships you want to spawn and where).
Enable the Test Chamber Hotkey
There are two methods to set the hotkey to start the Test Chamber: use manual editing of your input mapping or use the GUI hotkey Controls. You'll want a hotkey that you don't use for anything else. F9 is a good choice. Additionally F8 (by default) allows you to reload XML.
Manual Editing
Add the following line to your PlayerData/inputmappings.dat: <map bind="Debug_StartTestChamber" key="F9" />
GUI Method
Open Controls from the main menu. Under Debug subsection, change the Start Test Chamber to F9.
Then start the game and hit F8 whenever you want.
