CQC Arena in the main game? MASSIVE potential!

[Ian Doncaster]

Cannot possible back the idea though. I only really do CQC when I am off doing long tourist missions as a break from "exploring". I imagine a lot of caual CQC players are the same. That base requirement alienates one of the key users of CQC.

This. I got into it while on an exploration trip, and it was the difference between getting bored after a week and returning to the bubble, and staying out for months.

Being able to queue up for CQC without leaving the main game - through the multicrew menu or similar - absolutely. That would be a big help.

Being able to queue up for CQC only while docked at certain stations? How's that going to help player numbers?

Makes sense, I'd support it. Hell, I might even play it if it was incorporated into the main game.

This is a great idea. I would love to fly my own ships in an CQC type environment. Have different classes for different size ships. Small medium large and UNLIMITED for those maxed out, over engineered Corvettes and Cutters

 

[Whipley]

Love this idea!

In a perfect world, we'd not only have a cqc portal from starport services (or wherever), but also monthly cqc championships to join in on. Be also cool if highlights from games were displayed on holo-signs in stations.

CQC should just be removed altogether. It takes up disk space and resources, and is just another obvious eyesore of another failed feature.

Seriously, who thought CQC would be a good idea?

 

[UnhappyDev]

I fully support this idea. I do not see it happening though : it seems FD doesn't invest much time in CQC nowadays.

I agree with this post. I don't think there will be any more development on CQC beyond occasional maintenance. Hope I'm wrong though.

CQC should be used for to defend stations vs thargoid assaults.

Get emergency broadcast, engage holographic control and jump into the mess with an AX fighter.

It would be cool.

Great idea. Results in CQC could also be used as one more lever to progress PowerPlay or BGS influence etc.

If you want to throw your idea into the following thread also: https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php/413902-PVP-Players-Discussion-(ER-MEH-GERRRRD)

..Id appreciate it. Its a happy place with constructive feedback and all ideas are discussed ina grown up, friendly matter also, just like here.

(By the way, i love the idea)

It would be SO much fun if they could incorporate it as it's own expansion if nothing else.

- A 10 track championship in space
- A 10 track championship on planets
- Standard CQC
- A SRV racing league
- A bunch of different new SRV's to add to that racing league and give us some new SRV's in general
- Minor faction sponsor programs for racing

Great idea. Results in CQC could also be used as one more lever to progress PowerPlay or BGS influence etc.

- Major faction sponsorship
- Minor faction sponsorhip
- Powerplay faction sponsors
- Stickers galore for all above factions to plaster the ship with

Having a sponsor would give us plus points for the faction we work for when winning but negative faction rep towards other factions.

A grand proposal but I would prefer they focus on improving the game of which CQC is no part of.

Why it was not part of the main game is a mystery and a huge blunder by Fdev.

 

[Lily from anim.o.v.e]

if I do not have to buy equip and engineer the ship, and all i need to do is hopping in some "holo me" arena instance and pew pew vs others others on my virtual asset ship thats totally fine.

CQC should be an in universe virtual arena where pilots for entertainment and glory just compete.

But the ship there shoudl not be a tehcnical annoyance by how it's managed ingame, nor do i want to start a seperate game for it. That would be cool.
imagine we can get an ingame overview or notification of someone is waiting in the CQC queue and commanders can just decide to "hop" into the simulation. That would be neat and an non complicated way to make CQC appealing.

 

[Snarfbuckle]

I love the idea. I suggested something similar. I don't think it would ever happen.

Which would be a bloody shame considering they could make an entire season for it.

 

[Pendergast]

Great idea, but would also like to be able to use your own ships in certain arenas.

Well the prize mechanic is interesting.

Cannot possible back the idea though. I only really do CQC when I am off doing long tourist missions as a break from "exploring". I imagine a lot of caual CQC players are the same. That base requirement alienates one of the key users of CQC. Also I only wat to play for 30 minutes, only so long my dignity will hold out with various body parts being handed back to me! Your prize system seems a bit elaborate for that.

I'm sure there could still be a free beginner league.
