I like CQC. Well, idea of it. And there are only few small tweaks to make it adorable for everyone :)
Consider this fix first ;):
1. Please, don't split teams in Team DM and CTF. If we create a team/wing in a lobby it means that we want to play on the same side :)
Now, suggestions:
Basic...
ED has one of the best cockpit experiences ever, if not the all-time top one.
I know it's been requested many times before, but a one-player CQC/Arena mode using AI opponents is not only fitting, it's almost a crime that such an intense offline "arcade" type of experience does not exist --...
Didn't Frontier once offer CQC as a separate game called Arena? Well here is an idea - Frontier should modify that game code to offer a Battle Royale mode (it's all the rage) while keeping the team mode, and release it as free-to-play. Frontier would make their $$$ with the ability to purchase...
Everything CQC Just with your own ship you built and engineer in a zone or arena with all the tools, UI and goodies that come with CQC
It obviously would not be CQC it would be like...The Arena....yeah man that just sounds cool.
You can pick your ship from your shipyard
Plays just like the...
It bugs me how a different gamemode is considered 'dead' by the community. I have played CQC a few times, I am currently Level 25 and it's honestly not a bad gamemode but I can see why it's not for everyone. So I came up with a few ideas on how Arena can be improved and be fun for everyone in...
The recent lighting changes have also been applied to CQC... However, one of the maps is now far too RED (and yellow)...
It causes a few issues... One is that it is very hard on the eyes to see the yellow reticle on semi-fixed weaponry such as plasma repeater and cannons.
The other issue is...
I think a great way to expand upon CQC and the idea of 'telepresence' is the ability to join a scenario/war/skirmish/combat zone as a sort of 'hired' pilot for one of the factions.
From the mission board of a station in war or neighbouring system there could be a call to pilots to takeover...
Suggestion: Please give CQC pilots the ability to display their CQC ranks with pride on their ships as decals.
CQC remains the only rank without representation as decals, and it would be really nice have those ranks available for display in game, especially on fighters!
There is also now a...
A place (holographic playground) where we can go whilst in stations to participate in PVP, against bots and try out our new ship upgrades without fear of the rebuy - would also be a good place to retrain your flying skills if you've been away for a while (I seem to remember Wing Commander in...
Greetings Commanders,
If you've ever looked at your CQC stats and wondered how well you're improving or what to focus on next, then read on :D
To measure CQC performance going back over the last 3 years and after many nights and weekends effort, I've recently created a CQC Stats spreadsheet...
Something I can't help thinking is 90% there, but missing the vital 10% still. CQC.
I really believe that CQC is so close to being exactly the kind of 'mini-game' that FD / E:D can really benefit from. It makes no sense to ignore it beyond time and money - I know. Particularly after the...
This post is on behalf on a friend from many Discords Stoyben. He's not much of a forum dweller so on his behalf I will convey his ideas here.
While we all look forward to the major improvements coming in future updates, some of the ideas here would work well with the game, and are worth...
Please can we get a mode that is about skill, and not who gets to the powerups first?
Seems a little bit weird that a twitch based game gets "powerups".
Personally I feel it takes something out of the experience having players who fly round in a loop, grabbing the powerups and only attack...

An idea for a new station type to bring some variety to Elite, The Sprawls.
These are unofficial stations that don't show up on the system map using normal system scanning means such as scanning the Nav Beacon. To find one you or someone in your wing has to have a discovery scanner equipped...
CQC might be more popular if there where maps where you complete a simple objective. something like one team defends a reactor core and the other team tries to destroy it. or having 2 capital ships duking it out and you fly the fighters trying to disable the enemy ship or destroy all its...
First off, I love that so much of the development and changes lately have been about refining existing elements to the game: Engineering was made a lot less grindy and random in 3.0, Crime & Punishment (while still far from perfect and needing some further refinement) has helped change the user...
This was originally tacked on to a previous thread that didn't really line up with the ensuing discussion.
I think CQC should be moved to an in-game UI, even a dedicated station to visit to participate, instead of being another main-menu option. If I've been mining for 8 hours and want to CQC...
Morning Cmdr's!
I'm sure this has been posted elsewhere, but I couldn't find it(didn't look because I'm at work) and wanted your thoughts.
With Squadrons coming up, I thought it was time to revisit this idea. The long-short of it is that, if FD could enable PVP flagging, there wouldn't be a...
So CQC has been struggling to attract players for some time now right.. why is this? Here's what I think the problems are:
1. It detracts from in-game progress
Because of the huge grind walls in Elite, many players feel as though if they are not working towards their goals, they are wasting...
Leyendo el foro inglés, he visto ésta página que puede ser interesante para organizar o solicitar una wing con otros cmdr para realizar actividades en conjunto: misiones de combate, trades, etc etc.
Al parecer ahora van a incorporar -están solicitando un feedback al respecto- para organizarse...
Greetings Commanders. I just watched the latest D2EA youtube video, and The Yamiks latest, as well as ObsidianAnts. (All are great for different reasons, I recommend checking them out! 18+ for language and chatter content) I am part of a group of three, we call ourselves Deltamob, and fly in the...
Having trophies for CQC Arena makes getting a Platinum on this game near impossible as next to no-one plays the mode. I don't know why it was forced into the game to begin with.
All I ask is that they remove all CQC related Trophies/Achievements.
Picture "Galactic Gladiator Tournaments" that were hosted by different systems across the galaxy where the fiercest combat pilots engage in battle, and any other commander could view the battles from the side lines. The battles would be in actual arenas at actual locations within the main game...
I've once posted this as a reply to a different post, but thought I'd add it here officially.
I haven't gotten to play it much because of how sparsely populated the lobbies are, but I'm a big fan of CQC and believe it's got a lot more potential than people give it credit for.
Without going...
Imagine if every Friday night there was a auto CG generated for pilots to test their metal in the CQC arena somewhere in the galaxy.
This event was broadcast live over YouTube and was also streamed in game for those who wanted to see it in their cockpit. Events could last for an hour or longer...
1. War
When war starts, in system appears two megaships where you can dock. This ships are centers of military operations. Around this ship you will have capital ships being repaired, multiple patrols etc.
In this ship you can get access to some simple mission like removing biowaste from ship...
Join us for some fun and laughs on the XBOX One Tonight in CQC starting at 7:30pm ET!
We tried CQC at the end of our live-stream last week and were surprised how good it was!
So for tonight's live-stream (ELITEcast, Wednesdays @ 7:30pm ET) we're going to start our live-stream with some CQC...
If you are new to Elite Dangerous, you will find yourself in a sidewinder without the necessary credits to upgrade to a better ship.
A fun way to get the credits to purchase a better ship while developing fighter skills is to head on over to close quarters combat and work your way up through...
A simple one really, why not change the red CQC rank to a general PvP rank that also progresses in the main game as well as CQC? CQC already has it's own self-contained level-rank system, does it really need two?
It would be a great way to make this rank bar relevant again and be a nice change...
Good morning everyone. I have played the CQC gamemode a few times, and I have a few suggestions on how to make it a more integrated experience of the main game modes, in order to increase its activity and usefulness.
- Make it accessible from all larger spacestations, i.e a button beneath...

You can have all sorts of possibilities with adding a CQC selection option in a starport station menu without having to log out.
