No ARX for CQC - bug or feature?

[rootsrat]

CQC is listed as one of the main careers in Elite (as it's got it's own rank), but you don't get any Arx for playing it.

Question to FDEV - bug or feature? And if the latter, can you tell us what's the reason behind that decision please?

Thanks!

::EDIT::

I've logged this as an issue. Upvote if you care

::EDIT2::

OK, so the devs have responded my closing my issue with "By design" comment

At the moment, I would say that is a bug.

Surprising as in the main game it's 1ARX per kill, would have hoped the same in CQC

 

[Caramel Clown]

I have little doubt FD just forgot about it Just like they always forget to remove CQC rank from the main game since it clearly doesn't belong there.

 

[Bigmaec]

What is this CQC you're talking about and is it in any way related to that Galnet I keep hearing about?

 

[MUSKETEER]

What did they say? "You don't have to change the way you play to earn ARX"... what a drivel.

if they made it 30Arx per kill in CQC maybe i would get a freaking match, instead of scouring the depths of discord for not only an xbox player but an xbox player you happens to have elite dangerous, and also happens to want a CQC match and actually knows what CQC is, and then who just so happens to want to play at 9:36pm on a wednesday evening rather than asking where im from and what im wearing!!!!!

CQC was a half-baked addition to the game.

See Engineering, multi-crew and powerplay for further examples.

but CQC sin engineering is so much fun, like elite combat used to be

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if Frontier "kinda forgot" to award Arx for playing CQC.

I'm not even proud about this prediction because it was so obvious...

 

[Koben]

I opened a support ticket regarding no ARX being awarded at CQC...

 

[GreyAreaUK]

Yeah ok, it's not very good...

 

[metatheurgist]

You only get Arx for playing ED....

 

[GreyAreaUK]

How come?

 

[GreyAreaUK]

How come?

It's not really a part of the main game.

 

[Florenus]

It's not really a part of the main game.

You gain access to permit locked system after gaining certain rank, so I would say it's part of the game world.

lol. One day they need to make it clearer what support tickets / issues are for

Do you?! That's news to me! Learn something new every day.

Wow. Thanks for that.

I'd still like the CQC rank display to be optional though, although I'd agree that it does appear that you should be able to earn ARX from it.
