CQC is a fun mode, but is suffering of a lack of visibility & credibility.
several reasons, the rank is very hard & long to achieve, probably the hardest.
rewards are poor, very few credits, no decals
no review nor rebalance of the game play since years, no new features neither (ships, modules, map...), some persistant bugs.
but the flying model of elite makes it fun, really.
those who enjoy CQC are playing in the fear that this game mode could be stopped one day.
we're just out of 5 weeks of bug with CTD, then someone said ''thargoids in CQC''. wow.
but it was a bug... sadly

If only CQC could be maintained, or even updated like you said with new ship setups, like Taipan, iEagle, Both Vipers, Guardian Fighters, AX configs for all ships and SLF's, modes like Xeno Onslaught, Enemy Territory, Battlefield Conquest, even having a super basic Quake like On Foot mode... so many possibilites to be implemented, yet discarded.

(recalls flying around in EVE Valkyrie, which is pretty much a similiar game).

Sadly I am not joking, it actually garnered interest in CQC for some... myself included

It might be something to seriously consider. There currently is no actual training for Thargoid battles.

Besides, I'm sure even thargoids want to learn how to git gud. :)

I'm getting a repeatable Crash-To-Desktop hunting for Thargoid Probe/Sensors. Right now in any NHSS 5 or 6 of the variant with an Interceptor amongst a wreckage with salvage the game crashes shortly after the Thargoid scans you. It may require holding an Damaged and Occupied Escape pod in your cargo as this wasn't happening last night. When I feel like putting up with more crashes I'll test the cargo theory.

Figured it out - if you are holding a Meta-Alloy in your Cargo bay when scanned by a Thargoid Interceptor in a NHSS 5 or 6 signal source (maybe everywhere, this is just where I've confirmed) the game will Crash-To-Desktop.

A bigger issue to me on the menu screen is that the music changed, around the update that showed our ships in the hangar instead of the vista of the SRV and station.

I preferred the old main main menu music.

What plays now appears to be the variant track that used to play on the loading screen with the spinning ship, and it's a lot more muted and... well. Not as inspiring.

Lore-wise that would be more hacking than invading. CQC is virtual.

I always thought there was a system ? In my old journals ( Xbox ) if I did cqc it would show me jumping to one of two systems , about half way to 3/4 of the way between sol and sag a ? . I always meant to go and have a look it would probably be empty , but after consolegate I didn't bother .

After having the sound dev featured on the live stream, and the new "mystery" that has showed up at the end of the cinematic... any chance the silent audio for logs collected from the thargoid imprint device could be fixed? The audio clips for them stopped working about two years ago.

There's a system that requires a permit which you get for becoming CQC Elite. But the CQC Championship is some kind of (e-)sport. Iirc it was Hudson's idea to produce better combat pilots.

edit: Check the following two posts for actually correct info. 😅

The CQC maps are set in real systems (two in the bubble, two on the way to Sag A*) but there isn't anything CQC-related in those systems in the main game.

And then there's CD-43 11917, which is the home system of the CQC Holdings faction, and isn't used as a simulated host system for the matches.
(The station there has full outfitting, some exclusive discounts, and is a lot less busy than Shinrarta, so it's one of the more worthwhile permits to obtain)

The permit is obtained by reaching prestige one in CQC, CD-43 11917, there's a station in that system where you can find all the ships & all the modules with discount price, between 5 & 20 % discount, FDL for example is -20% discount.

Prestige & Elite are 2 different things in CQC. You get prestige one with around 260 - 270 000 xp points, & elite with 3 675 000 xp points.
Gaining the permit to this system is much easier than achieving Elite rank

This is minor in the extreme so I proabbly won't raise ticket but wondered if anyone else had noticed: When you turn off connectors in the galmap, they come back next time:

I'm pretty sure this wasn't the case pre-U13...
