Hello Cmdrs and Dev team, O7
I'm sorry if this has been suggested before and I will be using the situation on Xbox as that's where I get my ED on, CQC on said Console is dead... It's tiny embers of life is gently being fanned by the very rare occurring player LFG system on Xbox, where you will find fellow Cmdrs begging anyone who happens to see the post during the usual week in advance its up to come and help boost the 22+ Achievements associated with the game mode. Even then the result after a week of soul searching is usually met with not enough players to set up a game... yes its that bad, anyone who does usually play CQC is in a club ect. that have set days that boost it with there members only, so trying to get in via matchmaking is off the cards, I have been playing since Games Preview Program on the Xbox and in that time I've had one session on CQC resulting in a total CQC game time of 9 minutes, I'm beginning to feel frustrated as I am currently sat on 2230/3300 Gamerscore with 148/199 Achievements unlocked and knowing that I only have 29 Achievements left in game till I have nothing left to unlock apart from the CQC side of the equation (until next content hopefully adds more main game Achievements) is starting to sap me, just to clarify a few points the Achievement for Pro Player: to reach Professional rank has been unlocked by 0.02% of Xbox Gamers and the Secret Achievement A True Champ: for reaching Professional and Rank 50 unlocked by 0.01% even boosting that the fastest method would require a min of 6 and preferably 8 dedicated players, as to unlock the achievement requires in stats: 268,765xp = 247 wins of Capture the Flag which is roughly 60 hrs of nonstop CTF, which you can imagine is hard to do when no one plays the CQC...
So my Proposal and i would like everyone's feedback on said topic is to release CQC as a free addition to Elite, this will not only help drastically increase numbers for a currently on Xbox at least dead game mode it will also help bring new players to the main game of Elite itself (which of course they would have to buy) as Gamers who haven't really got to experience the game in a fun scenario... I know you have the trial of 1 hour on Xbox but its pretty much alone and learn to do things by yourself it really doesn't sell the game well at all, new players can take a hour just to understand the game, but with CQC new players can get to grips with basic game flight mechanics rapidly and in a more recognisable (ACE Combat, War Thunder and WoWP ect.) and fluid way, which will help bring those people to the main game, also you could put in cosmetics specifically for CQC to help generate extra support for Elite its self this really should be looked at by the Dev team as I personally see this doing wonders for CQC, Elite and the Amazing community all ready built around this wonderful game, I hope this was easily readable and understandable thank you for all your time!.
P.S if anyone would like to help me with said CQC Achievements on Xbox I would be greatly appreciative! O7
