CQC CQC in the main game

I don't know if it is in there or not because at the moment in the open play I'm miles from anywhere, but is CQC actually in the main game - I was expecting CQC to be held in the stations from the Station Services Menu or something like that - maybe rogue tournaments in pirate run sectors or something...

Having it completely separate from the main game is okay, but I like the more immersive idea of flying into a station after a hard day's trading then having a quick blast with the like minded :)

The fact you don't need a station means you can just play when you want. Explorers can enjoy some mindless destruction without trekking home first.

This

Playing the CQC beta has kept me a lot more engaged with the game as a whole over the last couple of months as I've been flying back from SAG A*.
I understand that it's a bit daft and immersion breaking to have it the way it is, but it's a game. Just have fun with it.

I'd like to see it available in game too, an entry under the Galactic/System Map and Powerplay options would be a logical place. I see no reason why we can't have it as an optional entry along with making the Powerplay ranking display optional alongside it, best of both worlds for everybody.

Development resources is why. If they can get to it at some point cool. Otherwise it likely is going to be put on the back burner because its a pretty redundant and useless feature.

I was shocked to see the Rank Status in game but not be able to access it at all in game. Adding it to another menu whilst docked would be better. What's the point of the rank status if the thing that makes the rank is not in the game? (seems like and odd but minor thing).

Well yes, I wasn't talking about development resources in the context of my comment but it is a good point.

It's a little immersion breaking that we've got instantaneous communications to play a virtual combat simulator with minimal lag against a player who's parked up near Sag A*, but the alternative - that in order to play CQC with another player you need to have gone to the same station as them - is a bit of a recipe for disaster. There's not going to be enough people online for a game's worth to be at J. Random Outpost, and Frontier will have wasted a fair bit of resources if the only way you could play this thing was if you ran an inevitable Pirate blockade to get to one of a handful of homeworlds.

Yeah I didn't mean to sound like a . I just mean sure its a good idea, am sure FD likes the idea. However when it comes down to it they simply don't have the time and resources to implement it.

Because this way explorers can play too.

Exactly! Lonely me out beyond Sag A can finally get some action in between some exploration to mix it up! As cool and immersive as it would be to have it in the main game some how, it is for the better as it is.

So why not in the main game? - seems like a missed opportunity!

Not sure what would be gained with this, but I'll tell you what would be lost - the ability for explorers thousands or tens of thousands of ly away to participate. Having it as a separate mode is great. That's not to say that station held tournaments couldn't get added as well, of course, but CQC as a separate mode was a great way to do it.

one thing that is stupid tho, the fact that we can see our cqc rank in game but can't access it, we have to go outside of this world via the main menu, i find that to be a complete failure regarding immersion, i hope they will add the stations holding cqc in game soon
