Bots are quick and easy solution. With where things are going, considering Odyssey dev and etc, we can't really hope for any significant improvements to CQC to boost playerbase. That's all been discussed to death and FDev is more than aware. So, for people who just enjoy playing this mode, having bots there might be good. Game already has SLF/Small Ship AI, it wouldn't take much coding, more like simple "unlock", of say, Elite AI for these ships and be done with it.
Also, been begging for this for long time, but making CQC free-to-play would be quite logical at this point. A lot of Squadrons' potential playerbase might easily move onto it, considering it's not overpriced arcade garbage, with best-in-business flight model and raw combat mechanics.
Muskateer is a bot and he's always there in CQC.
Haha, just kidding!
Hmm, actually... I don't think you do.
