Hmm, CQC is seeking Deathmatch game and seeks and seeks and seeks... I am interessted how long this will take 
Thanks Zac.
No changes or additional info/updates worthy of note wrt the Matchmaker/netcode issues at CQC?
My install keeps crashing out with either:
Failed to read from response stream. Network connection closed
or
Update failed for file "Crogram Files (x86)\Steam\seamapps\common\Elite Dangerous\products\PUBLIC_TEST_SERVER .... various file names after that ... (validation error)
Is it just busy with everyone else downloading ?
Not yet, we're still digging into it.

I'm still at work but leaving soon, let's break this thing!!
Also concerned about making interdiction easier for the interdictor.
Escaping interdiction from another CMDR is nigh impossible, even when I keep the escape vector dead center on target.
Escaping interdiction from NPCs is easy as pie (only exception is flying in a T9, which is fair).
Clarification would be much appreciated!
Agreed, the way interdiction works is a complete mystery, it's not 'what you see is what you get'. By analogy, if you're in a CZ, you blow up, or other ships blow up, because damage was done by shooting. In the interdiction mini game, the relationship between actions and results are unclear, it's like ships blow up out of the blue, or you shoot at another ship but nothing happens.
Curious: for me it's really easy to escape an interdiction by an NPC when I am in a T9, easier than in any other ship.
