Didn't Frontier once offer CQC as a separate game called Arena? Well here is an idea - Frontier should modify that game code to offer a Battle Royale mode (it's all the rage) while keeping the team mode, and release it as free-to-play. Frontier would make their $$$ with the ability to purchase paint jobs, ship kits, and "dances" (preprogrammed acrobatics). This stand-alone game would work with ED's CQC mode, with paints and ship kits being exchangeable between the two games. It would also be a great "gateway drug" for people who would be enticed by free CQC to join the bigger universe of Elite Dangerous. Best of all, it would populate the CQC queue again!
You've got the code, Frontier, so what do you have to lose? Give us Fortnite for space jockeys!
ps - You could also add other modes like escort and point capture, borrowing from games like Overwatch. Now this is PvP that I might find enjoyable!
