Is ANYONE playing CQC on PS4?!?

Is there anyone playing CQC on PS4 anymore? I managed to get into one match the day I downloaded this but now, I just sit there waiting without ever finding a game. :| or is CQC just broken at the moment?
 
I haven't gone into it all yet, I think most of us have plenty time to do for a while. ^^
Maybe some more will join in when they're grinding for an expensive ship and need a short break.
 
I'm sure some will play it but I think a lot of long time Elite fans (like myself) think it's just a pointless tacked on arcade game and will never play it.
(tbh, I even dislike the fact that the CQC rank shows in the main game. so wish there was an option to hide that)
 
I think the challenge is that you have a choice.

Pew pew in CQC and earn a couple hundred credits and no progression.

Pew pew or haul, or explore, or pirate, or engineer, or scan, or investigate, or race, or search and earn up to millions of credits and rank progression.

Guess which one I chose?
 
Yes I've played a few times and there are players ranked 10 and above.

Around midday I've had no luck, but try during more popular times, say after 5pm and at weekends and you-ll be fine.
 
CQC haven't much followers on any platform, beside devs who periodically stilll make cqc live streamings.

However they removed arena from the shop (don't know about ps4 shop), instead of make it free to play to boost the queues.
Probably devs themselves considered that it was better to drop the ball on cqc.

I think with the PS4 CQC trophies, it will say a little more populated.

It is fun for a short time to get a refresher on the basic combat mechanics.
 
I think it's great fun (not tried it on PS4 yet) but was let down a lot by the matchmaking mechanism - I spent too long waiting for players to turn up, so gave up on it.

I'm hoping the PS4 CQC will have a little more life.

Or maybe they are waiting for us to populate it again before improving it :p
 
The trophy hunters will always be playing CQC and folk will be interested in it for sure, me personally I don't see any value in it and cannot see how it brings anything new that the main game doesn't have so will be skipping it. Doesn't mean its bad like more I have zero interest in it.
 
When the devs realise that either they include npc opponents or allow CQC to die from a lack of human interest, then (in the case of the first option) maybe I will consider dipping into it from time to time. Until then, I have better things to do than wait in a lobby for enough human CMDRs to log in, finally allowing a CQC match to actually start!

We should organise a CQC night, planned in advance and posted here, and then we can all play and try and get some rank

Maybe one weekend, 2100hrs GMT or something that?

I can't seem to stay connected in the game long enough to complete a match. I get random disconnects so I gave up.
