That's a shame. I've got some Steam friends that have the game but they've pretty much bored of the regular game, and I was hoping to get them into some private CQC sessions which don't require much time investment.
I hope they do add this option soon.
I would love to have the opportunity to laser you without having to feel bad about destroying your ship.
That's why Frontier ought to add this feature..
I'm sure loads of us out here would love to engage in battles with our friends - you know, people we actually know from the forums or wherever, for the sake of friendly competition.
Yeah, sure, currently we can do that in the regular game, but at the risk of great expense, considering insurance costs for replacing a destroyed ship.
I'll say it straight up - the way CQC is right now sucks. I've tried to get into matches, but my gaming time is valuable to me and I'm not going to sit around waiting indefinitely for a match, and I think if it's going to have any real success, the ability for private PvP needs to be added.
