Being a realist here, though I'd love to see CQC integrated into the main game and shown some much needed love, I honestly can't see it happening.
It's been over 4 years since it launched and they've done very little with it in that time. I thought Beyond may have addressed CQC on some level, but alas not. I think it's a catch 22, very few people play so FD won't invest time / effort in developing it and because it's separate from the main game and underdeveloped, very few play it.
Considering where we are with ED in dev terms, we have a skeleton crew developing the small updates, with the majority of devs working on 2020 next era I just can't see FD devoting any time / effort on CQC....which is a shame, but there is so much in ED that needs work, developing, fixing. They could have had Beyond running for 3 years and probably wouldn't have got through all of the issues.
