Totally agree. But this "minor issue" is only around in the here and now because it's something that could have been addressed at implementation, rather than added to a long list.

As could the rank progression bars underneath them! I'm still waiting for that option, but it won't happen

The answer to this is the same as the answer to those that ask 'What if an explorer doesn't like trading or combat?"
CQC is NOT part of the main core game. Powerplay, Exploration, Trading and Combat are.
It really isn't that hard to understand the fundamental difference.
CQC is separate (accessed from the main menu). Frontier were right to design it like this as it makes the most sense.
So having powerplay, exploration, trading and combat ranks in the main core game is pretty much mandatory, while CQC is not core gameplay and all of it should be kept separete. It's just a bad decision to put it there I think. Hopefully Frontier wil eventually realise this and put it where it rightfully belongs, which is on the ships HUD in CQC.

Also, to address another point, it doesn't matter how good CQC is or if people have tried it or not. It may be loads of fun and addictive as hell. The point still stands regardless imo.

The poll on this had 57 pages of commentary. Clearly this is a contentious issue with many people.

As you mentioned in an earlier post that you hope frontier respects the results of the 'poll'

How about all of the people complaining right now about the CQC icon being in the main game in this thread respect frontiers right to develop the game how they see fit... Screw your immersion, reading these whines ruins mine :p

"It's just a bit of text", so then Frontier won't mind appeasing the numerous amount of us who to not want this overlap of the two games on one of our main HUD panels for no apparent reason.
I'm afraid, while it's there, I`ll always have the same opinion of it so 'getting over it' won't be possible unless and until this design flaw is fixed.
Sure there are other issues in the game but I`ll let others campaign over those.

Seriously please just stop you're just going round in circles trying to appease what you say....we get it, you don't like it!

New update to the game, lots of cool additions be they new combat sites, ships and cqc and what are people ing about.

A silly cqc icon.

Last time people went nuts over the 'speeding limit'. It would destroy trading, lead to countless griefers who would use stealth to sneak up on you to get you killed etc. Then the patch went live and people just forgot all about it. It'll happen with The Icon too. Just a few minutes to live!

So, let's see if I have this right. Having the CQC rank displayed ingame reduces the DPS on your weapons? No. Wait, it cuts your shields down...no? Huh. I see, it affects how much money you make in BH or trading. No? Then I don't see how having it there adversely affects gameplay in any way. Next thing you'll be complaining about is that credits earned in CQC carry over to the main game.

How can I hope to stop when you keep replying to me ? :) If you think I'm trying to appease what I say then you should be thankful for that small mercy.
I'm not really concerned if you (or 'we') get it or not. You aren't the one who needs to get it, and don't make out like it's just me who has this opinion, it is many many others.

Hi all, we're performing some validation checks on the servers. With that being said, we're making sure what we have is stable and can handle the masses of commanders!

Myself or another member of the team will post when we have an update. Thanks for your patience! :)
