CQC CQC in main game!

On today's morning stream Ed told us something about "CQC experience in main game". I think that they are going to add CQC stations to main game, from which we will be maybe able to play CQC. Isn't that great news?
More info on that will be said tomorrow.

Station that is probably coming to the main game:

Hopefully it means cqc will be in the main game then hopefully I can finally get a match on the xbone.

I was waiting for this. :) Will these layouts be unique locations, or be integrated to the game's world in several places like other station types?

I thought CQC was a simulator based at a station in a system somewhere, something that had no bearing in the ED world, except that your CQC rank would affect what type of missions you could pick up. Or has this all been changed somewhat? :)

As I understand it we can "play CQC" around our T9 or Conda in the same fighter ships that are available in CQC, right?

That's how I got it as well. They implement the CQC fighter in the game but I doubt that we will have CQC within the main game. Would be great to have the stuff which you see in CQC also in the main game. It's very attractively designed and it would spice up the main game as well.

Confused with this to be honest... excited but confused.

They might also add some CQC content to the game, like the space "buidlings" that you can fly through, at least it would be great to have the stuff which you see in CQC also in the main game. It's very attractively designed and it would spice up the main game as well.

It's going to be great, hugging the superstructures and twisting through the narrow passageways in our Anacondas. I'm going to see how many of those power-up rings I can fit on the nose of my spaceship. :D

That's not gonna happen. Only ships from CQC. That's the info from life stream so far.

Sounds like between ship-launched fighters and new bases in the main game, we'll be able to replicate some of the CQC experience. It's not private matchmaking, but it's better than nothing. :)

Are landing pads facing in the wrong direction and other outpost safety issues going to be fixed (like the little floating block without any lights)? :D

Those "little blocks without lights" seem to be the laser "turrets" of the outpost... At least there is more than some "light" coming from them if you get into trouble...

About the landing pads... Stop thinking two dimensional, just dive down from above, don't forget to deploy your landing gear, rotate your ship and settle down... And pretty much the same procedure applies when starting, take off, retract the landing gear, lift your ship's nose and you're good to go... ;)

I totally knew it. :D

I hope that this means we get CQC style upgrades for our fighters, including engineering mods, or perhaps these will only be available from the CQC home world. (Please let it be a CQC home world exclusive! :p)

Also it would be great to have the line of sight radar as used in CQC.

Also, any chance of more content and a general tune up of CQC itself?

Also, how will the CQC Elite ranks and arena ranks and prestige have an impact on the new CQC in game assets?

Yeah, I would love a little bit more CQC love in the main game. For example, there are absolutely zero main game benefits for hitting Elite in CQC. No access to Founder's World, No CQC Elite decals, and not even an inbox message from the Pilot's Federation saying, "Hey, congratulations. Good job champ." It was pretty disappointing to be honest. Since CQC is, according to lore, a training program for fighter combat, maybe now with ship launched fighters in the main game CQC can factor into the main story thread and reward system more.

I mean, just give me a CQC rank decal for my ship launched fighters! I'd take just​ that with a huge thank you!
