CQC Did they do something to CQC?

I'm reliably informed that in some circles it's known as 'Operation Flog the Dead Horse'.
I'm sure that the MAYHEM will make all the difference though and the as yet unwanted game extra known as CQC will suddenly become wildly popular against all known laws of probability.

Just finding the link for you...

Can't find it :(

Moved the thread to CQC forums, where it belongs.

Does this mean that FD are finally admitting that this has nothing to do with the main game and the ridiculous inclusion of the CQC rank in the main game will be removed?

I certainly hope not, that would imply that the credits, permits and soon to be engineer access earned through CQC will get removed as well.

FD making another mistake, flogging a dead horse. CQC is a dead parrot.

It's quite a clever move, I'm glad Frontier are trying stuff out.

Whether it'll be successful or not is another matter, but for a fiver it's a great route into ED.

And the cost to Frontier? Very little it's an already existing product.

Played a couple of matches today until I reached rank 10. After a mediocre initial waiting time, matchmaking started working like a charm and there were always less than 5 minutes waiting time between sessions. Pretty well balanced team deathmatch, too!

5 minutes between matches is good? I'd have got bored and moved back to the main game before that (no wait I did!), what is bad if 5 minutes is good?

Explorers will hate you for that.. Most of them quite like the fact that it's a separate game mode because you can still access it while thousands of LY from the bubble to get your little fix of PVP while out in the void.

I just do not get anyone seeing a downside of ED Arena TBH (and I am no white knight!). Colour me confused.

Worst case scenario to us as punters... no change at all

best case scenario,

1) people buy in who do not have ED as its more action packed than ED (more money for FD, less wait time for getting a game)

2) more money means more content for CQC (better CQC and more stuff to filter into the main game)

3) some like CQC and decide to get ED after all (more money for FD and more people in the ED universe)

4) some who were on the fence of ED risk less money, so less angst if they do not like the flight model etc (less complaining and bad press)

As for separating from ED all together or fully implementing into the meat space of ED.

I like the idea of doing both. Have certain areas in the actual ED universe where you can go and sign up, perhaps using your own real ships or ships which you buy and spec out at the CQC location but with bigger prizes for the winners. These would be physical areas in ED.

these systems would be permit systems and if you were to go there in your conda just to grief a match, you get your permit revoked from your account.

but keep what we have now exactly as we have it for those who are out in the deep black.

again no downsides imo.
