CQC Am I the only one exited for the Imp Fighter?

[Arubeto]

Hmm. Maybe it's true strength is the fact that it's a bit harder to hit.

With armour becoming similarly important as shields in 1.5, I think it's obvious Condor and Imp Fighter have nearly exactly the same strengths and weaknesses - being fast, agile and hard to hit.

That being said, I still can't test the thing because no one with beta access seems to play CQC...

Well, I have horizons beta so I'm going to try on the 24th, at least. But in my opinion the devs should have restricted different parts of the beta at times to force people to test all of it. Also it could just be the new paint job but the Imp Fighter looks like they gave it a complete overhall from the one in the main game. I wonder if it's different now too. And aren't there new maps now? I can't wait to play myself as you can see.

Yes, at least when 1.5 and Horizons proper are released, I'm certain there will be CQC matches again.

For the Imp Fighter overhaul: I recall some similar statement from a newsletter some time before the release of 1.4 about the CQC version of the Condor. They stated the Condor had been completely reworked compared to the version in the main game. And IIRC, there was a similar statement about the Imp Fighter being redone for CQC, too. So I think your observation here might proof correct.
