I came out of a game of CQC last night and went back to the main game - and without thinking I went to put the decals on my ship as I got a rank up, was surprised to see they were not there!
No thanks, I want it encroaching on Elite Dangerous as little as possible. Its bad enough having CQC rating in the right hand panel.

You will soon incur the wrath of those who want the CQC rank gone from the main game completely, but I approve, I'd like that.
Some people don't like trading - yet see the trading rank and decals.
Some people don't like combat - yet see the combat rank and decals.
Having a 4th rank and decals to go with it doesn't change anything for those who do not want to take part in it.
Just ignore it and carry on playing the game.
If seeing decals on peoples ships offends you - you have Solo mode and private groups.
Leave the rest of us to enjoy the hard work FD are putting in to the game.
You miss the point completely CQC is a completely separate addon its not the same game. You even have to select a different menu option to get into it. Basically CQC is not Elite Dangerous. There should be no crossover.
+1 - I agree to both of these - I'm not interested in CQC at all and don't plan on taking part -if I did I'd play something like Call of duty (Yawn).
I wish they put an IF statement in their code if CQC score > 0 then add details to screen in normal game. I too would like it removed and only see the 3 main ones.

Michael,
You'll look into what? removing any cross over between CQC and Elite or allowing decals to be used?
I think you're the one who missed something;
People earn credits from CQC to spend in the main game - I've picked up 20k so far.
So it is not "separate" at all.
I could play CQC until I have enough cash for an "A" spec Anaconda and go play all the CGs in it afterwards.
CQC is as much of the main game as the other modes and as much as the add on will be.

Thank you Michael.

The credits should also not be transferable either. CQC is not part of the main game (hence the menu option). Re your little dig earlier about us commanders having "Solo" and leaving the rest of you to enjoy the hard work FD put in. Thats a bit rich coming from someone who only appears to have picked up the game around September being directed at someone who backed the game.

With respect, you are taking the game down a road which many of your backers do not want it to go. Its FDs decision but alienating core players who have been playing since Beta in favour of people who have been playing a few months and will probably move back to Star Trek online in a few weeks doesnt seem the right decision.
I'm in broad agreement with the views above. CQC is not part of ED, and obviously so, since you need to go in via a seperate menu item.
I don't mind paint jobs and decales, but please remove the rating display in game in ED, given that it is not part of that game. That way those that play CQC can enjoy some reward in ED, whereas non-CQCrs keep their immersion.

let them have it it wuld be funny to see a cqc champion thats crap at the acctual game worth a bounty and a screen shot
Not sure where you got September from, it was November 2014 (which if you'd my forum history properly you'd have known - been defending the modes / mode switching sine last December).
And it does not matter when you got the game - that does not put you in charge of what FD can or cannot do.
Plus your money is not worth more than mine.
So as I said, if people having decals from CQC upsets you so much - Solo Mode, or create a Group with "no CQC decals" in the rules for it.
"Blaze your own trail"
"Play your way"
^^ Remember those lines in the sale information?
Well I am doing just that and I'm proud of my CQC rank and want to show it off.
Just like my trade ship has my trade rank, my combat ship has my combat rank and my exploration ship has my exploration rank.
I've got my Sidey set up, it just needs my CQC rank. Going to buy an Eagle and set that up like my CQC one as well - so would also like the rank decal for it.
Mute point now, as Michael has answered anyway.

There are enough threads where you can register your dislike of the CQC ratings. Highjacking threads is against forum rules, so please make your posts in the relevant threads. Thank you.
Solo, Group and Open are also separate menu items - but they are part of the main game.

Cheers, but as Michael has said they will look in to it - I'm not that fussed now. Got my answer, I'm well chuffed
If you want to lock this or merge it with other CQC threads I'm cool with that.
(merge might be good - having Michael saying they will look in to adding the CQC decals may hit the point home)
