Yes Definitely please add Bots, I would like to practice and explore those arenas so I know whether I can actually enter that tunnel or not. (Not to mention I don't really like playing with other Humans)

I'm always a fan for bot battles. I think they can lend some unpredictability to stir things up.
Being able to set CMDR vs AI in pitched battle could be a blast.
With the upgrade of main game AI the option for CQC AI opponents seems reasonable, especially in light of CQC ships being in wings and CMDR hangars.

Why remove the only rank that actually means anything? The other elites are so simple to get it is not funny. A bunch of robigo runs, elite trader, do a couple of CZ elite combat. Farm a bunch of neutron stars elite explorer. CQC, you need to kill around 26k other PEOPLE to get elite..... You tell me which is harder to get.
Yes, please fill open spots with bots. I'd prefer to face real CMDRs, but given the scarcity of willing pilots, bots would be a great addition. At least that way people will always be able to find a match. As an added bonus, people who are able to play may find they enjoy it, making matchmaking much easier.

+1 It's the reason I don't play it due to waiting for a match that never fills up.
The last one, but not why you think.
I am not a great PvP player and haven't tried the CQC at all. But with bots, i might give it a try. With the new AI, the mode could be intresting with bots to get some combat skills.
True, if they put in the AI as bots, 95% of them would be harder than most of the players I encounter.
Frankly, I'm beginning to feel unsure that FDEV have the coding chops to be able to implement such a CQC AI properly. I'd love to be wrong though. It seems like there are too many obstacles/tunnels/etc in the arenas, and as the AI currently has some difficulty avoiding planets and asteroids, it seems likely that the main opponent for any Arena AI would be the Arena itself. The different tactics and mechanics in CQC would mean rewriting any existing combat AI anyway. Given the fairly dismal player numbers for Arena, it looks like a lot of extra work for little reward - even though it would probably ensure the Arena player base would shoot up and possibly cause some to try the main game as well. As I said, I'd love to be wrong.
I believe adding AI bots into CQC would at least keep the game alive, and give people the added choice of going directly into Combat without having to hunt for it Via undermining or destroying a innocent Vessel in Elite dangerous
half the problem with CQC is not knowing whether there are people online to make up the numbers to fill the slots
and so
This is a great Suggestion.. suprised it hasnt already been added in game? good things take time to implement +1 rep to you OP

This has been requested by many since launch. Don't get your hopes up. Seems FD thought CQC could be a quick fix to the slaughter house that was Open mode at the time. Turns out many PvPers aren't interested in balanced battles... News flash...
As others have said, FD doesn't seem to have the "chops" to build a PvP arena game. CQC is flawed on so many levels I can't be bothered to mention.
A great idea badly executed.
