Make CQC available during updates..?

Definitely.
After all, they deliberately separated it from the main game. This would at least look like a good reason for it. :D
 
Make CQC available - fixes?

I would love to play some CQC. It's not my favorite aspect of the game, but it is (was, back when I could find matches at times I was available) a nice way to spend some time without committing to a few hours of play.

I'm also in favor of having NPC opponents as an option. How do others feel about that? I have to admit, part of the appeal of CQC for me is that it isn't just NPC fish-in-a-barrel, so the kills meant something more. But even with a few players from my wing, getting a game going takes forever to find enough other human players. How do we fix that?

We have an unofficial lobby server at https://discord.me/elitedangerouscqc which has most of the regular players plus hundreds of irregular ones (on PC, at least - we support all three platforms, but PC is the busiest by a long way).

You should be able to find out when matches are on and organise them wider than your wing. On PC we get several hours of deathmatch - and usually an hour or two of Team Deathmatch - most nights (though it helps to be in an EU/US timezone)
 
Make CQC pay out grade 5 mats as reward for playing. FD decide how to balance that between participants on each game (e.g. 10 to winner, 5 to loser etc) Job done.

Genius. I would live to see something like this.

On Xbox here, I tried to play a few matches the other day because I decided I was sick of looking at the “Helpless” rank, only to be stuck waiting in the matchmaking lobby for 10 minutes with no results. Lame.

A new and permanent “gold rush” which can be easily balanced according to skill as FD see fit. What’s not to like?

My preference for this is to have it be per kill, based on the target's rank

Elite: grade 5
Legend: grade 4
Hero: grade 3
Champion: grade 2
Professional: grade 1

Not only does it encourage people into the match, but it gives them a hint to focus on the stronger players to stop them dominating.

I can't rep you enough. I will likely see you in there, maybe not for another week or two (depending how my IRL battles go ...) but I will be checking that out. Thanks.
