CQC would be more accesible if they were to remove the gimmicky powerups IMO.
It's weird that a twitch based game has them in the first place.

If you remove power ups most of the people will just fly tanky ships like Eagle or Sidewinder.
Paper thin Imperial Fighter and Condor need power ups in order to be a viable option (especially shields/stealth).
Saying that I wouldn't mind if WEPONS PU was removed from CQC. I think the lack of it would make a better gameplay. Or at least nerf it so i.e. reduce time it's active from 40 seconds to i.e. 15 seconds.... or reduce damage.

Not really: every deathmatch game going back to Quake and Doom has had powerups. In most of them, they were even more of a significant factor.
That said, some tweaking wouldn't be amiss, but it's hardly the biggest problem CQC has right now.
I like how the various CQC loadouts balance advantages and disadvantages. I feel like the magic powerups dumb the game down a notch. Just don't like them. That said, I've stopped using the things for a while, and I don't feel like I can't compete and have fun. I would agree that it's not a big deal.
Were they? I didn't see you
I was.
You can ask guys around. ...hmm, but I didn't see YOU! I wasn't all night though. Two hours and then one hour, or something like that. As I wrote, my fingers got sore so I quit. My explosions were magnificent!
We were also in the voice chat. Had a little friendly competition with Joker about picking up Weapons.
A minigame if you will. It was hilarious hearing him "suffer" when I snatched it right before his nose (and vice versa when he was the quicker one) . So much fun. Good times.Hope you'll have the opportunity soon.
We have been made aware of the push other teams are doing. Drums of war are beating. Perfect opportunity to get some intense vet TDMs.
I hadn't played CQC in a very long time (6 months? A year?), but I still play Elite from time to time. I logged into CQC today, and can usially eek out a few kills with the plasmas, or get in a few chases (I run a lot simce the plasmas are useless face to face), but was getting absolutely owned by a pilot called "BULL3T SPONG3." I've never been great at CQC, but usually I sort of hunt whoever is clearing the maps to give everyone else a break, and I usually use the plasmas, because they're the funnest gun, IMO. Typically, I end up just sort of running a lot, and ocasionally pulling off a plasma drive through, but I could not get away from this guy -- I thought maybe he'd get bored of chasing me, but there was never even a chase. I was crashing into stuff, pulling my flight sticks off my desk, and eventually resorted to trying to remember how to face to face (with plasmas, lol). Well, anyway, GG BULL3T SPONG3 -- I don't know what I did, but I'm really, really sorry
