Please add the Taipan to CQC!

Please do anything with CQC. It’s been a lifeless void for four years.
Really? I have had some really exciting matches lately.
Anyway, see/add CQC suggestions here: https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php/466572-SRV-CQC-please!

Indigo clearly doesn't use Arena, no idea why he's commenting. Would definitely like to see the Taipan added, prefer dog fighting in it compared to the GU97. Pretty sure it also has the fastest boost speed out of the 3.
Because I’ve wanted to since I started playing, but at most, ever, I have seen 2 other people waiting for enough people to join so a match could start. It’s been like that for four years.
Maybe it’s just me and bad timing, but.. four years of bad timing?
My my normal gaming time is after 1800 EST Mon-Fri, and any odd time on Sat and Sun, so when are you finding people in CQC?
And I thought “Arena” (the stand-alone, use-to-be-free-on-Steam client) was officially killed a while ago.
Throw in the guardian fighters while we’re at it!
I don't know about the boost speed but they could really replace the "Sidewinder" with the Taipan with a small increase to armor.
Free to play Battle Royal mode and go ahead and call if Fort-flight.
CQC fixed!
CQC fixed!
May sound like trolling, but yes, I really think it's just bad timing. I normally get into "Deathmatch" and "Team Deathmatch" games pretty quickly on European evenings after 8pm. Since the release, I have never been able to get into a "Capture the Flag" game, though, not once!
That's true, but the option in the launcher (and in the main menu, for that matter) is still called "Arena".
Awesome idea!
Yup, I do, regularly. It's great fun. (The fights are much more entertaining and depend a lot more on skill than in the main game, , IMHO, where who grinds and engineers the most greatly increases the odds to win)
CQC/Arena was available as a free (or very cheap, can't remember) stand alone game on Steam, but that was canceled some time ago.
Since I moved to the UK, I'll be online around 8pm onwards. (rarely log into ED on the weekends) I'll log into Arena when waiting for a ship or module to arrive. Never have issues finding a match, nobody bothers with capture the flag.
Your location definitely plays a part. When I was based in the Middle East I would be matched with cmdrs from Dubai and the far east, it was always busy, that was a year a ago.
In the main game I am primarily on the defence, avoid combat if I can help it. Arena is nice way to keep my offensive skills sharp, humans are a lot more unpredictable.
Just to let you know: I played two "Team Deathmatches" and one "Deathmatch" just now. Time in queue for "Team Deathmatch" was less than 2 minutes and for normal "Deathmatch" under 1 minute (kept track of the time to verify my prior impression of how quick you get into a match)
