CQC gameplay

Pardon me if this turns out to be a duplicate thread, as all I could find regarding the new CQC gameplay seems to happen on a meta level.

Since afaik the thing is live and available already as a beta on the XBox, I would like to invite fellow XBox players to tell us a bit about the CQC mode. Most of us here know little more than the trailer, the official announcement, and some minor clarifications from the devs so far.

So what is it like? How is it accessed within the game (From the main menu? From a new item on starports? Specific locations where you can actually see the CQC installation?) Do the CQC matches happen within the universe, so that bystanders can watch, or is it entirely separated off?
How does it work regarding selecting a ship and equipment? Do you fly your actual ship, or are you provided with a ship only for the match, and if yes, can you freely equip that ship? If yes, can you use your paint jobs and decals on those ships?
What are the objectives of a match? Are there multiple game modes? Is it team-based, FFA, or can it be played both way?
How does scoring work? And does it award credits, or provide combat rank progression at the end?

The CQC part will not be available until July.

Have downloaded the free trial. Will try and find time to play it during a *cough* quiet work period in a few hours. Will probably buy the GPP version at some point.

CQC is not online it will come later. I think any speculation regarding the game play would hurt that forum since people will start arguing about unsubstantiated points. Why don't we wait and see :) ?

Well ive just used my 60 minutes and training is the only option available. I guess you need to give them 25 quid and buy another copy if you want to go the whole hog.

CQC hasn't been released to the GPP yet.

I too would like more info on this.
I hope it isn't completely cut off, I'd like spectating and being able to bet Credits on the outcome
The trailer mentions tournaments, maybe even things announced on GalNet that draws cmdrs from all over, perhaps divided by combat rank to give newer players a chance.
If it wasn't obvious.. I'm looking forward to this :D
